Q. No.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 |
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
Match each item in Column I with one in Column II and select your answer from the codes given below:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| A. | Diatoms | a. | Protein-rich layer of pellicle |
| B. | Dinoflagellates | b. | Cell wall embedded with silica |
| C. | Euglenoids | c. | Spores with true walls |
| D. | Slime moulds | d. | Cellulose plates in the cell wall |
Codes:
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | b | a | c | d |
| 2. | b | d | a | c |
| 3. | b | c | a | d |
| 4. | b | a | d | c |
All the following statements regarding Basidiomycetes are correct except:
| 1. | The mycelium is branched and septate |
| 2. | Asexual spores and vegetative reproduction are generally not found |
| 3. | Sex organs are absent |
| 4. | Basidiospores are exogenously produced on the basidium |
