Solution:
Standing crop is measured as the mass of living organisms or the number in an unit area.
(33) Answer : (2)

Secondary succession begins in areas such as abandoned farm lands, burned or cut forests and lands that
have been flooded.

(34) Answer : (2)

Solution:
The pyramid of energy is always upright because the flow of energy is unidirectional from producer to
consumer level and the loss at each trophic level.

(35) Answer : (1)

Solution:
Secondary productivity is defined as the rate of formation of new organic matter by consumers.
(36) Answer : (2)
Hint:
Plants capture approximately 1-5% of incident solar radiation for photosynthesis.
Solution:
Plants capture 2-10% of PAR for synthesising their food.

Solution:
Detritivores break down detritus into smaller particles by a process known as fragmentation.

(38) Answer : (1)

Hint:
NPP is always less than GPP.
Solution:

Solution:
Grass is autotrophic, hence can fix up solar energy and manufacture their own food from inorganic raw
material. So they form base of food chain constituting first trophic level (T1 ).

ZOOLOGY

(46) Answer : (3)

Solution:
Plasmids are double stranded DNA molecules.
(47) Answer : (3)
Solution:
DNA fragments separate according to their size through sieving effect provided by agarose gel.
(48) Answer : (4)
Solution:
It will remain resistant to both ampicillin and tetracycline.
(49) Answer : (3)
Solution:
Each restriction endonuclease functions by ‘inspecting’ the length of a DNA sequence. Once it finds its specific
recognition sequence, it will bind to the DNA and cut each of the two strands of the double helix at specific

7
Practice Test-11A_CF+OYM(P1)-2024

points in their sugar -phosphate backbones. Each restriction endonuclease recognises a specific palindromic
nucleotide sequences in the DNA.

(50) Answer : (2)

Solution:
The recognition site of BamH I and Sal I are present in tetR gene.
(51) Answer : (2)
Solution:
Palindromic sequence is a sequence of base pairs that reads the same on both strands when orientation of
reading is kept same.
Palindromes are recognised by restriction endonucleases.

Solution:

(53) Answer : (2)

Solution:
DNA Ligase links two DNA segments of DNA by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bond.
(54) Answer : (3)
Solution:
Plasmids and bacteriophages are used as a vector in prokaryotic cells.

(55) Answer : (1)

Hint:
Origin of replication.
Solution:
Normally, the genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline or
kanamycin, etc., are considered useful selectable markers for separating recombinants from non
recombinants.
(56) Answer : (2)
Solution:
The convention for naming restriction enzymes is that the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the
second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.
(57) Answer : (3)
Solution:
This bacteria generally infects dicot plants.
(58) Answer : (3)
Hint:
It was isolated from Haemophilus influenzae.

(59) Answer : (3)
Hint:
Selectable marker helps in elimination.
Solution:
Selectable markers help in identification and elimination of non–transformants while permitting selective
growth of transformants.
(60) Answer : (2)
Solution:
Nucleases are the enzymes that cleave nucleic acids. Molecular scissors are restriction endonucleases.
