108. (1) Lenticels are raised pores in the stem of a woody
plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere
and the internal tissues. Parenchymatous cells are usually
present in cortex. The conjoint vascular bundles usually have
the phloem located only on the outer side of the xylem.
109. (2) Meristematic tissues are those tissues which have cells
with active cell division capacity.
Simple tissues are those tissues which have all the cells
similar in structure and function.
Vascular tissues are complex permanent tissues hence they
have different types of cells.
Sclereids are sclerenchymatous cells which are dead with
highly thickened walls and narrow lumen.
110. (3) F.Griffith performed transformation experiment on
Streptococcus pneumoniae.
111. (2) S phase of the cell cycle is a synthesis phase in which
amount of DNA increases but the number of chromosomes
remain constant. So the number of chromosome will remain
same as G1 phase i.e. 8.
112. (2) Thorns of citrus and Bougainvillea are modified stem
not leaves.
113. (2) Experimental evidences of DNA replication is carried
in E.coli.
114. (4) A-(iv); B-(ii); C-(iii); D-(i)
115. (4) In G2 phase, the number of chromosome will be same
as at the end of mitosis i.e., 24.
116. (2) Mycoplasma or PPLO can pass through less than 1
micron filter size. The prokaryotes have a cell wall
surrounding the cell membrane except in mycoplasma.
117. (1)
118. (1) Lysosomes are single membrane bound small vesicles
containing hydrolytic enzymes in the form of minute
crystalline or semicrystalline granules of 0.5–0.8 mm. The
important enzymes are acid phosphatases, sulphatases,
proteases, peptidases, nucleases, lipases and carbohydrases.
They are also called acid hydrolases because these digestive
enzymes usually function in acidic medium with a pH of 4–5.
These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates,
proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Lysosomes are also called
suicidal bags because of the presence of a large number of
digestive enzymes or acid hydrolases in them which can
cause cell lysis if a lysosome is burst.
119. (2) In angiosperms, one male gamete fuses with the egg
resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote. The other
male gamete fuses with the two polar nuclei forming the
primary endosperm nucleus. Thus type of fertilization is
called double fertilization.
120. (4) Species is the lowest category in basic taxonomic
hierarchy and has the maximum common characterstics
with other species under the same genus. The genus is an
aggregate or a group of closely related species. Family is
the group of closely related genera, and has less common
characterstics than species or genus rank.
Order is a higher taxon and is the assemblage of families
having similar characterstics.
Class is a group of related orders.
Phylum: The classes with similar features are grouped into
phylum in animals and division in plants.
The phyla are grouped into still broader categories, called
kingdom.
121. (1) Ulothrix belong to Chlorophyceae (green algae).
Members of this class have starch as reserve food material.
122. (2) In the food web, different food chains are
interconnected. Each chain is interconnected and consists
of different trophic levels i.e. producers, consumers and
detrivores. So, kite can also be a part of food web.
123. (2) Chlamydomonas, Volvox, Ulothrix, Spirogyra and
Chara are green algae. The common forms of brown algae
are Ectocarpus, Dictyota, Laminaria, Sargassum and
Fucus. Polysiphonia, Porphyra, Gracilaria and the
Gelidium are members of red algae.
124. (3) Ovules generally differentiate a single megaspore
mother cell in the micropylar region of the nucleus.
125. (3) The tapetum is a layer of nutritive cells found within
the sporangium, particularly within the anther, of flowering
plants. Its main function is to provide nutrition to the
developing microspore mother cells and pollen grains.
126. (2) Skin colour in humans shows polygenic inheritance.
127. (1) Peptidase catalyses the breaking of peptide bond. The
UTRs are present at both 5’-end (before start codon) and
3’-end (after stop codon). At the end of translation release
factor binds to the stop codon, terminating translation and
releasing the complete polypeptide from the ribosome.
128. (4) Every chromosome (visible only in dividing cells)
essentially has a primary constriction or the centromere on
the sides of which disc sh aped structures called
kin etoch ores are present. Centromere holds two
chromatids of a chromosome. Based on the position of the
centromere, the chromosomes can be classified into four
types. The metacentric chromosome has middle centromere
forming two equal arms of the chromosome. The sub-
metacentric chromosome has centromere slightly away from
the middle of the chromosome resulting into one shorter
arm and one longer arm. In case of acrocentric chromosome
the centromere is situated close to its end forming one
extremely short and one very long arm, whereas the
telocentric chromosome has a terminal centromere.
129. (1) The RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of
mRNA,the heterogenous nuclear RNA (hnRNA).
130. (4) mRNA provides the template for synthesis of proteins.
A segment of DNA coding for polypeptide is called exon.
Single DNA dependent-RNA polymerase that catalyses
transcription of all types of RNA in bacteria.
131. (4) Vessel- Long cylindrical tube-like structure, with
lignified walls and a large central cavity, devoid of
protoplasm. Interconnected through perforations in their
common walls.
The presence of vessels is a characteristic feature of
angiosperms.

135. (3) Prophase - I of meiosis has been divided into sub-
stages which occur in the sequence as Leptotene ®
Zygotene ® Pachytene ® Diplotene ® Diakinesis.
Synapsis, i.e, pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs
during zygotene. Crossing over is defined as the exchange
of chromatid segments occur during pachytene.
Terminalisation of chiasmata, i.e., shifting of chiasmata
towards the ends of chromosomes and complete
disappearance of nucleolus take place during diakinesis.
136. (2) Halophiles live in salty areas.
Thermoacidophiles are present in hot springs.
Methanogens are present in gut of several ruminants.
Cyanobacteria can be present in freshwater/ marine or
terrestrial habitat.
137. (2) Tetrad formation is seen during zygotene stage.
Terminalisation of chiasmata takes place during diakinesis.
Crossing over takes place between non-sister chromatids
of homologus chromosomes.
138. (2) The coding sequence or expressed sequences are
defined exons. The exons appear in mature or processed
RNA and are interrupted by introns or intervening sequence
which do not appear in mature or processed RNA.
139. (1)
140. (4)
141. (3) The lac operon contains a promoter, an operator, and
three structural genes called z, y, and a, coding for the
enzyme b galactosidase, permease and transacetylase
respectively. The lac regulator gene, designated as i gene,
codes for repressor.
142. (1) The camouflaging mechanism helps the organism
to get adapted to its surroundings. Some insects and frogs
use this mechanism.
143. (2) Consanguineous marriage is matrimony between
individuals who are closely related. In a clinical sense,
marriage between two family members who are second
cousins or closer qualify as having a consanguineous
marriage.
So the correct option is ‘W=O = mating between relatives’.
144. (4) The monocot stem is characterised by conjoint,
collateral, and closed vascular bundles, scattered in the
ground tissue containing the parenchyma. Each vascular
bundle is surrounded by sclerenchymatous bundle-
sheath cells. Phloem parenchyma and medullary rays are
absent in monocot stems.
145. (1) A – III; B – IV; C – II; D – I
146. (1) Both the statements are correct. RNA mutate at much
higher rate as compare to DNA because RNA has higher
mutation rate that DNA because DNA has deoxyribose
pentose sugar in it’s configuration whereas RNA has extra
oxygen in its ribose sugar which makes it more reactive.
As oxygen has got lone pair it will have tendency to react.
147. (1) Statements (i), (iii) and (v) are correct. Mendelian
disorders are mainly determined by alternation or mutation
in a single gene whereas chromosomal disorders are
caused due to absence or excess or abnormal arrangement
of one or more chromosomes. Sickle cell anaemia is an
autosome linked recessive trait that can be transmitted
from parents to the offspring when both the partners are
carrier for the gene. Haemophilia is sex-linked recessive
disease which shows its transmission from unaffected
carrier female to some of the male progeny.

149. (4) Polymorphism in DNA sequence is a variation at
genetic level. It arises due to mutation and is the basis of
genetic mapping of human genome as well as of DNA
fingerprinting.
150. (4) Gross primary productivity of an ecosystem is the
rate of production of organic matter during
photosynthesis.
PART - IV : ZOOLOGY
151. (4) Nitrogenous waste are absorbed by passive transport.
Reabsorption of water also occurs passively in the initial
segment of nephron. DCT reabsorbs Na+, K+, H+, NH3
and water.
152. (2) Selectable marker is a gene introduced into a cell,
especially a bacterium or to cells in culture that confers a
trait suitable for artificial selection.
Selectable markers help in identification and elimination of
non-transformants whilst permitting selective growth of
transformants.
153. (2)
154. (2) Veins carry blood from all organs to heart.
155. (3) In class Aves, endoskeleton is almost completely

in an ethidium bromide stained gel exposed to U.V. light.
160. (4) Insulin is an important hormone that is made up of
two short polypeptide chains in which one is named as A
and the other is B. These two chains are attached by
disulphide bridges. C peptide is an extra stretch that is
not present in the mature insulin. The insulin produced
by rDNA technology does not have C peptide. In the
given diagram formation of mature insulin is shown.
161. (3)
162. (1) PCR (polymerase chain reaction is used in DNA
amplification. So, this is true. Ampicillin resistant gene is
used as a selectable marker. Therefore, both A and R are
correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
163. (2) Before placing DNA into the electrophoretic chamber
it must be cut by restriction endonuclease.
164. (3)
165. (1)
166. (4) The ascending limb of Henle's loop is non-permeable
to water.
167. (2) Nerve impulses are always transmitted across a synapse
from the axon terminals of one neuron to the dendrite/cell
body of the next neuron but never in the reverse direction.
Since the neurotransmitter is present only in the axon
terminals and not in the dendrite or cell body, it cannot be
released from the dendrite or cell body even if the impulse
reaches there.
168. (1) Somatostatin from the hypothalamus inhibits the
release of growth hormone from the pituitary.
169. (1)
170. (1) The correct matching is:
P-wave represents the electrical excitation (or
depolarisation) of the atria which leads to the contraction
of both the atria.
QRS complex represents the depolarisation of ventricles
10
which initiates the ventricular contraction.
T-wave represents the return of the ventricles from excited
to normal state.
171. (3)
172. (1) Statements (ii), (iii) and (v) are correct
• Metagenesis (alternation of generation) is observed
in members of phylum Coelenterata (Cnidaria).
• Comb plates present in ctenophores help in
locomotion.
173. (3) Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into two regions
- the outer region and the inner region. The outer region
of cerebrum contains grey matter and is known as cerebral
cortex, which contains cell bodies of the neuron. The
inner region of cerebrum contains white matter and is
known as cerebral medulla, which contains nerve fibres
or axons of the neurons.
174. (3) Neanderthal man lived in east and central Asia and
used hides to protect their bodies. Agriculture came around
10000 years back and human settlement started.

176. (2) Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults are reusable
barrier contraceptives made of rubber that are inserted
into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during
coitus. They prevent conception by blocking the entry of
sperms through the cervix.
177. (1)
178. (2) CO2 is carried by haemoglobin as carbamino-
haemoglobin.
179. (3) The finches of Galapagos islands are an excellent
example of adaptive radiation.
180. (2) Grave’s disease is due to excess secretion of thyroid
hormones (T 3 & T 4). Diabetes mellitus is due to
hyposecretion of insulin from beta-cells of pancreas.
Diabetes insipidus is due to hyposecretion of ADH from
posterior pituitary. Addison’s disease is due to
hyposecretion of hormone from adrenal cortex.

183. (2) The development of the earthworm occurs directly.
There is no any larval stage formation occurs.
184. (3) An organic substance bound to an enzyme and
essential for its activity is called coenzyme.
185. (3) Adaptive radiation refers to evolution of different
species from a common ancestor. The mammals are
adapted for different mode of life i.e. they show adaptive
radiation. They can be aerial (bat), aquatic (whale and
dolphins), burrowing or fossorial (rat), cursorial (horse),
scantorial (squarrel) or arboreal (monkey). The adaptive
radiation, the term by Osborn, is also known as divergent
evolution.
186. (2) The correct answer is option (2) because using
conventional methods of diagnosis like serum and urine
analysis, etc, do not help in early diagnosis. Recombinant
DNA technology, Polymerase Chain Reaction and Enzyme
Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) are some of the
techniques that serve the purpose of early diagnosis.

189. (2) Two reason for causing auto immune disorder:
First, higher vertebrates can distinguish foreign molecules
as well as foreign organisms. Most of the experimental
immunology deals with this aspect. Second, sometimes
due to genetic and other unknown reasons, the body attack
self-cells. This results in damage to the body and is called
auto-immune disease.
Rheumatoid arthritis which affects many people in our society
is an auto-immune disease.
190. (2) Fertilisation is the fusion of male and female gametes
to form zygote. During fertilisation, only head of the sperm
enters the egg. After that polyspermy is avoided by
fertilisation membrane.
191. (4) (1) Myasthenia gravis is either an autoimmune or
congenital neuromuscular disease that leads to fluctuating
muscle weakness and fatigue.
(2) Gout is usually characterized by recurrent attacks of
acute inflammatory arthritis-a red, tender, hot, swollen
joint. It is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the
blood. The uric acid crystallizes, and the crystals deposit
in joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues.
(3) Muscular dystrophy is a progressive degeneration of
skeletal muscles mostly due to genetic disorder.
192. (3)
193. (4) The correct option is (4) because in Bt cotton the
specific Bt toxin gene was isolated from Bacillus
thuringiensis. The first clinical gene therapy was given in
1990 to a 4-year old girl with adenosine deaminase (ADA)
deficiency. RNAi (RNA interference) takes place in all
eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. PCR
is now routinely used to detect HIV in suspected AIDS
patients.
194. (4)
195. (1) Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) is a gram-positive, soil-
dwelling bacterium and commonly used as a biological
pesticide. It also occurs naturally in the gut of caterpillars
of various types of moths and butterflies, as well on leaf
surfaces, aquatic environments, animal faeces, insect-rich
environments, and flour mills and grain-storage facilities.
Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystal (which
contains insecticidal protein) during a particular phase of
their growth. Bt toxin kills larvae of certain insects by
binding the activated toxin on mid gut epithelial cells,
creating pores which causes swelling and lysis of the cells
leading to the death of the insect larva.
196. (1)
197. (1) The correct matching will be:
Ringworm is caused by Trichophyton.
Filariasis is caused by Wuchereria bancrofti.
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium species.
Pneumonia is caused by Haemophilus influenzae.
198. (2) In frog, the hindlimbs end in five digits and they are
larger and muscular than forelimbs that end in four digits.
199. (1) Gamete Intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is recommended
for those females who cannot produce an ovum. In this
process, the eggs of the donor woman are removed and in
a form of mixture with sperm transferred into fallopian
tube of another woman who cannot produce ovum, but
can provide suitable environment for fertilization. Thus in
GIFT, site of fertilization is fallopian tube, not laboratory.
200. (3) The eye of the octopus and of mammals or the flippers
of Penguins and Dolphins are the example of analogy
(analogous organ).
