1. | They have chlorophyll a (similar to green plants) |
2. | They are unicellular and never colonial or filamentous |
3. | They often form blooms in polluted water bodies |
4. | Some of them can fix atmospheric nitrogen |
The chief ‘producers’ in the oceans are:
1. Cyanobacteria
2. Dinoflagellates
3. Diatoms
4. Lichens
Slime molds:
1. | form plasmodium that differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during unfavourable conditions. |
2. | form plasmodium that differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during favourable conditions. |
3. | form plasmodium under favourable conditions and the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during unfavourable conditions. |
4. | form plasmodium under unfavourable conditions and the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during favourable conditions. |
In the five kingdom classification, the members of Kingdom Animalia:
I: | are all heterotrophs |
II: | are all multicellular where cells lack a cell wall |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Gonyaulax is:
1. | a heterotrophic bacteria pathogenic to cereal crops |
2. | a dinoflagellate responsible for red tides |
3. | a free living nematode |
4. | a thermophilic archaebacterium |
That viruses could be crystallised and crystals consist largely of proteins was shown by:
1. M. W. Beijerinck
2. W. M. Stanley
3. Dmitri Ivanovsky
4. Louis Pasteur
Phycomycetes | Basidiomycetes | ||
1. | Mycelium | Branched and septate | Aseptate and coenocytic |
2. | Asexual spores | Zoospores or aplanospores | Generally not found |
3. | Notable examples | Bread mould and Albugo | Rust and Smut fungi |
4. | Dikaryon stage |
Not seen | Present |
The correct chronological sequence [beginning from the earliest] with respect to fungal sexual cycle will be:
1. Karyogamy, Plasmogamy and Meiosis
2. Meiosis, Plasmogamy and Karyogamy
3. Plasmogamy, Karyogamy and Meiosis
4. Meiosis, Karyogamy and Plasmogamy
1. | is a resting spore |
2. | is involved in nitrogen fixation |
3. | is gas vacuole |
4. | is where carbon dioxide concentration mechanism is applied |
Statement I: | Association between mycobiont and phycobiont is found in Lichens. |
Statement II: | An association between roots of higher plants and fungi is called mycorrhiza. |
