fluid surrounding the developing embryo, and it is legally permitted only for detecting genetic

NO+, the bond order becomes 3 (increases) and it becomes diamagnetic. This option meets the
required conditions.
Option D:
The bond order of O2 is 2 and it is paramagnetic. When one electron is removed to form ,
the bond order becomes 2.5 (increases) and it remains paramagnetic. This option does not

Question Explanation
The question is asking about the number of chromosomes present at each pole during
anaphase II, given that the number of bivalents is 20.
Concept
Meiosis II chromosome number
Solution
Twenty bivalents indicate a diploid number of forty chromosomes, so the haploid number is
twenty. After meiosis I, each cell has twenty chromosomes, each consisting of two sister
chromatids. During anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles,
and each chromatid is counted as an individual chromosome. Therefore, each pole receives
twenty chromosomes.
103)
Question Explanation
The question is asking which option is not a significance of equational division (mitosis).
Concept
Significance of equational division
Solution
Equational division (mitosis) maintains the same number of chromosomes in daughter cells
and ensures growth, cell repair, and restoration of nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio. However,
maintaining the constant number of chromosomes from generation to generation is a feature
of meiosis, not mitosis.
104)
Question Explanation
The question is asking about the meiotic stage in which chromosomes start to disperse but do
not completely decondense to the interphase state.
Concept
Telophase I
Solution
During telophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes have reached opposite poles and
begin partial decondensation. However, they do not become as extended as chromosomes in
the interphase nucleus, unlike telophase II where decondensation is more complete.

Clarias gariepinus is an invasive fish.
Final Answer : (4)
132) Solution : According to Table 1.1: Man belongs to Hominidae, Housefly to Muscidae,
Mango to Anacardiaceae, and Wheat to Poaceae.
Final Answer : (A)
133) Solution : Instead of a cell wall, they have a protein rich layer called pellicle which
makes their body flexible. This is a characteristic of Euglenoids.
Final Answer : (3)
134) Solution : Under suitable conditions, they form an aggregation called plasmodium which
may grow and spread over several feet.
Final Answer : (1)
135) Solution : In 1971, T.O. Diener discovered a new infectious agent that was smaller than
viruses and caused potato spindle tuber disease. It was found to be a free RNA; it lacked the
protein coat that is found in viruses, hence the name viroid. The RNA of the viroid was of low
molecular weight.
Final Answer : (3)
136) Solution : The plant body is usually attached to the substratum by a holdfast, and has a
stalk, the stipe and leaf like photosynthetic organ the frond.
Final Answer : (2)
137) Solution : Evolutionarily, they are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues -
xylem and phloem. This refers to the Pteridophytes.
Final Answer : (3)
138) Solution : Roots in some genera have fungal association in the form of mycorrhiza
(Pinus), while in some others (Cycas) small specialised roots called coralloid roots are
associated with N2-- fixing cyanobacteria. Final Answer : (4)
139)
Solution: In plants like Rhizophora growing in swampy areas, many roots come out of the
ground and grow vertically upwards to help get oxygen for respiration. These are
pneumatophores.
Final Answer: (2)
140)
Solution: In cymose inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower, hence growth is
limited. Flowers are borne in a basipetal order. Both statements are false.
Final Answer: (3)
141)
Solution: The root is covered at the apex by the root cap. Above that is the meristematic zone,
followed by the elongation zone, and finally the maturation zone.
Final Answer: (1)
142)
Solution: This shows a conjoint open vascular bundle because it possesses cambium between
the xylem and phloem, which is characteristic of dicot stems.
Final Answer: (2)
143)
Solution: Bulliform cells are in monocot leaves; stomata are epidermal structures; palisade is
in dicot leaves; Casparian strips are
in the endodermis.
Final Answer: (1)
144)
Solution: Water splitting is associated with PS II (not PS I). It occurs on the inner side (lumen
side) of the thylakoid membrane.
Final Answer: (3)
145)
Solution: For every CO2 molecule entering the Calvin cycle, 3 molecules of ATP and 2 of
NADPH are required. (To make 1 glucose, 6 × these amounts are needed).
Final Answer: (1)
146)
Solution: Six turns of the cycle are required for the removal of one molecule of glucose from
the pathway because each turn fixes
only one carbon atom from CO2.
Final Answer: (3)
147)
Solution: There is only one point in the TCA cycle where FAD+ is reduced to FADH2 (during
the conversion of succinate to fumarate).
Final Answer: (4)
148)
Solution: Electrons from NADH (Complex I) are transferred to Ubiquinone (UQ). UQ also
receives electrons from Complex II. Then to Complex III, then to the mobile carrier
Cytochrome c, and finally to Complex IV.
Final Answer: (1)
149)
Solution: In both alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation, the only ATP-yielding steps occur
during glycolysis. The net gain is only 2 molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose.
Final Answer: (1)
150)
151)
Solution: Abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates the closure of stomata and increases the tolerance of
plants to various kinds of stresses, hence the name.
Final Answer: (4)
156) Solution :
Final Answer : (4)
158) Solution: Lub associated with closure of tricuspid and bicuspid (AV) valves.
Final Answer : (2)
159) Solution: Normal activities regulated intrinsically by nodal tissue, hence myogenic.
Final Answer : (2)
163) Solution: The biological importance of thymus degeneration in old age lies exactly in this
decline in T-cell output, which directly causes the weakened immune response mentioned in
the Reason.
Final Answer : (1)
164) Solution: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4
1. Hormone diffuses into cell
2. Binds intracellular receptor
3. Hormone-receptor complex binds DNA
4. mRNA synthesis → protein → effect
Final Answer : (4)
165) Solution: In males, the division is equal, producing 4 sperm. In females, oogenesis is
unequal, producing only one functional ovum and two or three non-functional polar bodies.
Final Answer : (1)
166) Solution: The acrosomal enzymes must first digest the egg's layers (2). As soon as the
first sperm touches the membrane, the cortical reaction occurs (1) to block others. Then, the
genetic material fuses (4), and only then is the single-cell diploid Zygote (3) officially formed.
Final Answer : (2)
167) Solution: Colostrum provides Passive Immunity, not active immunity. Passive immunity
is when you receive pre-formed antibodies (like IgA from mother's milk); active immunity is
when your own body produces them.
Final Answer : (2)
168) Solution: To get 200 zygotes, you need 200 sperm and 200 ova.
Sperm: 1 Primary Spermatocyte produces 4 sperm. Thus, 200 sperm require 200 / 4 = 50
Ova: 1 Primary Oocyte produces 1 functional ovum. Thus, 200 ova require 200
Total: 50 + 200 = 250
Final Answer : (2)
171) Solution: Heroin is an opioid that binds to specific receptors in the CNS and GI tract,
acting as a potent depressant.
Final Answer : (3)
173) Solution: The symptoms describe Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella typhi. The
standard serological test for its confirmation is the Widal test.
Final Answer : (2)
175) Solution: De Vries worked on evening primrose and suggested that mutations, not minor
variations, are the cause of evolution.
Final Answer : (2)
176) Solution: Genetic drift is a non-directional (random) process, not a directional one. It
occurs primarily in small populations due to sampling error, and it does not "ensure" the
survival of the fittest (that is the role of Natural Selection).
Final Answer : (4)
177) Solution: This experiment by Louis Pasteur demonstrated that the "vital force" in the air
was actually just microscopic organisms. By trapping them in the curved neck, he showed that
the broth stayed sterile, disproving spontaneous generation.
Final Answer : (2)
178) Solution :
1 MMC → meiosis → 4 microspores
120 MMC →
120 × 4 = 480 pollen grains
Each pollen grain → 2 male gametes
480 × 2 = 960 male gametes
Final Answer : (3)
179) Solution : Central cell contains two polar nuclei that participate in triple fusion.
Final Answer : (3)
180) Solution : After pollination → pollen grain germinates on stigma forming pollen tube.
Final Answer : (2)
