| Assertion (A): | It is important that the organisms should have cells. | 
| Reason (R): | A cell keeps its chemical composition steady within its boundary. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. | 
| Statement I: | In 1838, Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist, examined a large number of plants and observed that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of the plant cells. | 
| Statement II: | In 1839, Theodor Schwann, a British Zoologist, studied different types of animal cells and reported that cells had a thin outer layer which is today known as the ‘plasma membrane’. | 
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct | 
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect | 
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct | 
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect | 
| I: | All cells arise from pre-existing cells. | 
| II: | Prokaryotic cells do not have any organelles. | 
| III: | Eukaryotic cells have only membrane bound organelle. | 
| IV: | Centrosome helps in cell division in plants and animals. | 
| Statement I: | Rudolph Virchow proved that all life comes from pre-existing life. | 
| Statement II: | Louis Pasteur proved that all cells arise from pre-existing cells | 
| 1. | in the cytoplasm | 
| 2. | within the chloroplasts (in plants) | 
| 3. | within the mitochondria | 
| 4. | within the rough ER. | 
| I: | Several ribosomes may attach to a single mRNA and form a chain called polyribosomes or polysome. | 
| II: | The ribosomes of a polysome translate the mRNA into different proteins. | 
| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II | 
| 3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II | 
| I: | The main chromosomal DNA is linear | 
| II: | Plasmid DNA is circular | 
| Statement I: | Besides flagella, Pili and Fimbriae are also surface structures of the bacteria but do not play a role in motility. | 
| Statement II: | Pili and fimbriae help attach the bacteria to rocks in streams and also to the host tissues. | 
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct | 
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect | 
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct | 
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
