The respiratory quotient of glucose is:
A
$0.9$
B
$0$
C
$1$
D
$0.7$

Solution

(C) The correct answer is $C$.
When carbohydrates like glucose are used as respiratory substrates and are completely oxidized, the Respiratory Quotient $(RQ)$ is $1$.
This is because the volume of $CO_2$ evolved is equal to the volume of $O_2$ consumed during the process of aerobic respiration, as represented by the equation: $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{Energy}$.
Thus, $RQ = \frac{\text{Volume of } CO_2 \text{ evolved}}{\text{Volume of } O_2 \text{ consumed}} = \frac{6}{6} = 1$.

Cell theory was formulated by
A
Schleiden and Robert Brown
B
Schleiden and Schwann
C
Schwann and Robert Brown
D
Robert Hooke and Robert Brown

Solution

(B) The correct option is $B$.
In $1838$, $Matthias \ Schleiden$, a German botanist, examined a large number of plants and observed that all plants are composed of different kinds of cells which form the tissues of the plant.
At about the same time $(1839)$, $Theodor \ Schwann$, a British zoologist, reported that cells had a thin outer layer which is today known as the '$plasma \ membrane$'.
He also concluded, based on his studies on plant tissues, that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of the plant cells.
On the basis of this, $Schwann$ proposed the hypothesis that the bodies of animals and plants are composed of cells and products of cells.
Together, $Schleiden$ and $Schwann$ formulated the cell theory.

The average natality rate in our village is $25$, the average mortality rate is $24$, immigration is $2$, and emigration is $3$. What is the net increase in the population?
A
$10$
B
$0$
C
$27$
D
$5$

Solution

(B) The formula for the net population change is: $\text{Net Increase} = (\text{Natality} + \text{Immigration}) - (\text{Mortality} + \text{Emigration})$.
Given values are: $\text{Natality} = 25$, $\text{Mortality} = 24$, $\text{Immigration} = 2$, and $\text{Emigration} = 3$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\text{Net Increase} = (25 + 2) - (24 + 3)$
$\text{Net Increase} = 27 - 27 = 0$.
Therefore, the net increase in the population is $0$.

$XO$ type of sex determination and $XY$ type of sex determination are examples of:
A
male homogamety
B
male heterogamety
C
female homogamety
D
female heterogamety

Solution

(B) The correct answer is $B$ (male heterogamety).
In both $XO$ type and $XY$ type of sex determination,the male individual produces two different types of gametes (heterogametes).
In $XO$ type,males produce gametes with an $X$ chromosome and gametes without an $X$ chromosome.
In $XY$ type,males produce gametes with an $X$ chromosome and gametes with a $Y$ chromosome.
Since the male produces two different types of gametes,this mechanism is known as male heterogamety.

Which aspect forms the basis of $DNA$ fingerprinting?
A
The satellite $DNA$ showing high degree of repetition in $DNA$ segments.
B
The ratio of purines and pyrimidines present in $DNA$.
C
The amount of $DNA$ found in samples of blood, saliva and skin.
D
The sequence of $DNA$ present in the ridges and grooves of fingerprints.

Solution

(A) $DNA$ fingerprinting relies on the identification of differences in specific regions of $DNA$ sequences called repetitive $DNA$.
Specifically, it utilizes satellite $DNA$, which consists of short sequences of $DNA$ repeated many times.
These sequences, known as Variable Number Tandem Repeats $(VNTRs)$, show a high degree of polymorphism.
Since the number of repeats varies from person to person, it creates a unique genetic profile for every individual, which forms the fundamental basis of $DNA$ fingerprinting.

$DNA$ replicates semiconservatively was first shown in
A
plants
B
Escherichia coli
C
higher animals
D
human cell

Solution

(B) The correct answer is $B$.
Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl performed an experiment in $1958$ using $Escherichia \text{ } coli$ to prove that $DNA$ replication is semiconservative.
They grew $E. \text{ } coli$ in a medium containing $^{15}N$ (a heavy isotope of nitrogen) for many generations, then transferred them to a medium with $^{14}N$ (a lighter isotope).
By analyzing the density of the $DNA$ using cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation, they observed that the $DNA$ molecules were hybrids of both isotopes, confirming the semiconservative model of replication.
This mechanism was subsequently shown to occur in higher organisms, including plants and human cells.

An antibiotic resistance gene in a vector usually helps in the selection of
A
non-recombinant cells
B
competent cells
C
non-competent cells
D
transformed cells

Solution

(D) The correct answer is $D$.
In recombinant $DNA$ technology,vectors (such as plasmids) are engineered to contain selectable markers,which are typically antibiotic resistance genes (e.g.,$amp^R$,$tet^R$).
When host cells (like $E. coli$) are treated with the recombinant vector,only those cells that successfully take up the vector (transformed cells) will acquire the antibiotic resistance trait.
By plating these cells on a medium containing the specific antibiotic,only the transformed cells will survive and form colonies,while non-transformed cells will be killed.

Gel electrophoresis is used for
A
separation of $DNA$ fragments according to their size
B
construction of recombinant $DNA$ by joining with cloning vectors
C
cutting of $DNA$ into fragments
D
cutting of $DNA$ molecule

Solution

(A) Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate charged molecules like $DNA$,$RNA$,or proteins based on their size.
In the context of $DNA$ technology,it is specifically used to separate $DNA$ fragments according to their size.
Since $DNA$ fragments are negatively charged,they move towards the anode under an electric field through a matrix (usually agarose gel).
The smaller fragments move faster and travel further through the gel pores compared to larger fragments,allowing for effective separation.
