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
