What is not true for Mycorrhizae?
I. Nearly 30% of vascular plants have this symbiotic relationship with fungi.
II. The fungus primarily makes nitrogen available to plants.
III. Fungi get organic carbon from plants.
(1) I alone
(2) I and II only
(3) II and III only
(4) I, II and III
Identify the group of fungi that is not correctly matched with all the characters given below:
1. | Phycomycetes: | Mycelium – aseptate and coenocytic / Asexual reproduction by motile zoospores or by nonmotile aplanospores / spores – endogenously produced in the sporangium |
2. | Ascomycetes: | Mycelium – unbranched and septate / Asexual spores are conidia / Conidia produced endogenously on conidiophores. |
3. | Basidiomycetes: | Mycelium–branched and septate / Asexual spores are generally not found. |
4. | Deuteromycetes: | Only the asexual or vegetative phase of these fungi are known. |

Identify the incorrect statement:
1. | Virus has a protein coat called capsid made of small subunits called capsomeres. |
2. | The core has the genetic material - either RNA or DNA or both. |
3. | The capsomeres are arranged in helical or icosahedral forms. |
4. | Viruses can infect any type of organism. |
Identify the incorrect statement:
1. | Numerical Taxonomy is based on all observable characteristics. |
2. | More weightage is given to reproductive characters and all other characters are given equal importance in numerical taxonomy. |
3. | Cytotaxonomy is based on cytological information like chromosome number, structure, behaviour |
4. | Chemotaxonomy uses the chemical constituents of the plant |
Saprophytic protists are:
1. | Slime moulds | 2. | Dinoflagellates |
3. | Chrysophytes | 4. | Protozoans |
Which of the following statements regarding Euglenoids is not true?
1. | Instead of a cell wall, they have a lipid rich pellicle |
2. | They have two flagella, a short and a long one |
3. | They are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight but behave like a heterotroph when deprived of sunlight |
4. | Pigments of Euglenoids are identical to those present in higher plants |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. Diatoms: Chief producers in oceans
2. Dinoflagellates: Red tides
3. Slime moulds: Spores dispersed by water
4. Euglenoids: Protein rich pellicle
The domain Archaea is not characterized by:
(1) Pseudopeptidoglycan in cell wall
(2) Linear chromosomes
(3) Introns present is some genes
(4) Methanogeneisis as unique metabolism
Members of Kingdom Protista:
1. are primarily aquatic
2. do not have membrane bound organelles
3. are all ciliated or flagellated
4. reproduce exclusively by asexual means
