106. (c) : He contains fully filled l.v2 orbital which |
has more penetrating effect and is very close to [
the nucleus and hence has higher value of ionisation j
energy.
107. ( u ) : The nuclear isomerism in the nuclei of same j
mass number and same atomic number arises due ;
to different radioactive properties. The reason for I
nuclear isomerism is the different energy states
of two isomeric nuclei. One may be in the ground
state and other in an excited state. The nucleus
in the excited state will have different half-life.
108. (b) : When a silicon crystal is doped with a group-
15 elements, such as P, As, Sb or Bi the structure
of the crystal lattice is left unchanged but an
occasional atom with five valence electrons
occupies a site that would normally be occupied by
a silicon atom. The foreign atom uses four of its
electrons in covalent bonding but the remaining
fifth electron becomes delocalised and is thus free
to contribute to electrical conduction.
109* (c) : Reactions of higher order are rare because
chances for larger number o f molecules to come
simultaneously for collision are less.
110. ( b ) : In actual practice transition metals react with
acid very slowly and act as poor reducing agents.
This is due to the protection o f metal as a result
o f formation o f thin oxide protective film. Further,
their poor tendency as reducing agent is due to
high ionisation energy, high heat of vnpourization
and low' heat of hydration.

C--H bond in methane is 99.2 kcal/mol. Thus for
polyatomic molecules, average bond energy is
taken as the dissociation bond energy.

121. ( c ) : Vitamin B,,. also called pyridoxine is widely
distributed in cereal grains, yeast, liver, milk, etc.
It is a constituent o f a coenzyme (pyridoxal
phosphate) involved in amino acid metabolism.
Deficiency causes retarded growth, dermatitis,
convulsions, and other symptoms.
122. ( d ) : All single-celled eukaryotes are placed under
protista. Phylogenetically the kingdom protista
acts as a connecting link between the prokaryotic
kingdom— Moneraand the complex multicellular
kingdoms— Fungi. Plantae and Animalia.
Being eukaryotes, the protistan cell body contains
a well defined nucleus and other membrane-bound
organelles. It is surrounded by plasmalemma(cell
membrane). Cilia and tlagella occur in a number
o f forms. Nucleus has typical structure— porous
nuclear envelope, chrom atin, nucleolus and
nucleoplasm.
Monerans lack nuclear membrane.
123. ( d ) : DPT vaccine is a combined vaccine against
diphtheria, whooping cough (pertussis), and tetanus
now replaced by the DTaP/IPV/Hib and DTaP/
1PV vaccines.
124. (d) : The vascular system consists o f complex
tissues, the phloem and the xylem. The xyletn and
phloem together constitute vascular bundles. In
dicotyledonous steins, cambium is present between
phloem and xylem. Such vascular bundles because
o f the presence of cambium possess the ability
to form secondary xylem and phloem tissues, and
hence are called open vascular bundles. In the
monocotyledons, the vascular bundles have no
cambium present in them. Hence, since they do
not form secondary tissues they are referred to
as closed.

127. ( a ) : Bryophytes are nonvascular terrestrial plants
o f moist habitats in which a multicellular diploid
sporophyte lives as a parasite on an independent
multicellular haploid gametophyte that develops
multicellular jacketed sex organs. Whereas, in
pteridophytes, the main plant body is a sporophyte
which is differentiated into true root, stem and
leaves and gametophyte is small or inconspicuous,
it is usually independent.
128. (b) : Parietal cells are present in the epithelium
o f the gastric glands. They are large and are most
numerous on the side walls o f the glands.
They are also called oxyntic cells as they stain
strongly with eosin. They secrete hydrochloric acid
and Castle intrinsic factor.
129. (si) : A single species might show high diversity
at the genetic level over its distributional range.
India has more than 50,000 genetically different
strains o f rice, and 1,000 varieties o f mango.

131. (c) : Gene related human disorders are determined
by mutations in single gene. They are transmitted
to the offspring as per Mendelian principles. The
pattern of inheritance of such Mendelian disorders
can be traced in a family by the pedigree analysis.
Cystic fibrosis is an abnormal recessive disorder of
infants, children and young adults that is due to an
S olutions 2010
abnormal recessive .autosomal allele present on
chromosome 7. In 70% o f cases, it is due to deletion
o f three bases. The disease gets its name from the
fibrous cysts that appear in the pancreas. It produces
a defective glycoprotein. The defective glycoprotein
causes formation o f thick mucus in skin, Jungs,
pancreas, liver and other secretory organs. There is
maldigestion of food with high fat content in stool.
Liver may undergo cirrhosis.
Phenylketonuria is an inborn, autosomal, recessive
metabolic disorder in which the homozygous
recessive individual lacks the enzyme phenylalanine
hydroxylase needed to change phenylalanine to
tyrosine in liver. It results in hyperphenylalaninemia
w hich is characterised by accumulation and
excretion of phenylalanine, phenylpyruvic acid and
related compounds. Lack of the enzyme is due to
the abnorm al autosom al recessive gene on
chromosome 12.
132. (d) : In facilitated diffusion special proteins help
move substances across membranes along the
concentration gradient without expenditure of ATP
energy. Facilitated diffusion is very specific, it
allows cell to select substances for uptake, ft is
sensitive to inhibitors which react with protein side
chains.
133. (c) : Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite
in the large intestine o f human which causes
amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery).
Streptococcus pneum oniae and H aemophilus
influenzae are responsible for the disease
pneumonia in humans which infects the alveoli (air
tilled sacs) o f the lungs. Plasmodium, a tiny
protozoan is responsible for malaria. Typhoid fever
could be confirmed by Widal test.
IVuchereria ( IV. bancrofti and IV. malayi), the
filarial worms cause a slowly developing chronic
inflammation o f the organs in which they live for
many years, usually the lymphatic vessels o f the
lower limbs and the disease is called elephantiasis
or filariasis.
134. ( b ) : The term ecology was coined by combining
two Greek words, oikos (meaning 'house' or
'dwelling place') and logos (meaning 'the study of)
to denote such relationships between the organisms
and their environment. Thus, literally, ecology is
the study of organisms 'at home'.
135. (b) : There are 64-triplet codons which code for
20 amino acids. This is due to the degeneracy of
code as some amino acids are influenced by more
than one codon. Only tryptophan and methionine
are specified by single codons. All other amino
acids are specified by two (<?.#., phenylalanine—
UUU, UUC) to six {e.g., arginine— CGU, CGC,
CGA, CGG, AGA, A GG ) codons.

138. ( c ) : The most recent model o f plasma membrane
is fluid-mosaic model which was proposed by
Singer and Nicolson in 1972. According to this
model, the membrane does not have a uniform
disposition o f lipids and proteins but is instead a
mosaic o f the two. Further, the membrane is not
solid but is quasifluid.
139. (c) : Penicillium notatum restrict the growth of
Staphylococci. Acetobacter aceti produces acetic
acid. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used for
commercial production o f ethanol. Streptococcus
produces streptokinase which is modified by
genetic engineering to be used as a 'clot buster' for
removing clots from the blood vessels o f patients
who have undergone myocardial infarction leading
to heart attack.Bacteria which produce methane are
collectively called methanogens, and one such
common bacterium is Methanobacterium. These
bacteria are commonly found in the anaerobic
sludge during sewage treatment.
140. ( d ) : Haemophilia B is due to deficiency o f factor
IX (Christmas factor). The patient may experience
prolonged bleeding following any injury or wound,
and in severe cases there is spontaneous bleeding
into muscles and joints.
141. ( c ) : Virus is a nucleoprotein entity which is ^ble
to utilize the synthetic machinery of a living cell
of another organism for its multiplication which
does not involve growth and division.The nucleic
acid is either DNA or .RNA but never both. DNA
containing viruses are called deoxyviruses while
RNA containing viruses are termed as riboviruses.
142. (c) |
143. (a) : A I D S or acquired im m u nodeficien cy
syndrome or acquired im m une deficiency
 syndrome (a death warrant) is a serious disease
(also called slim disease) caused by a retrovirus
HIV {human immunodeficiency virus). It is a set
o f symptoms and infections resulting from the
damage to the human immune system by the virus,
that depletes prim arily the number o f T-
lymphocytes (CD-4 T cells or helper T-cells) and
renders the patient susceptible to opportunistic
infections i.e., infection caused by non-pathogens.
144. ( d ) : The P-wave represents the electrical excitation
(or depolarisation) of the atria, which leads to the
contraction of both the atria. The QRS complex
represents the depolarisation o f the ventricles,
which initiates the ventricular contraction. The T-
wave represents the return of the ventricles from
excited to normal state (repolarisation). So, by
counting the number of QRS complexes that occur
in a given time period, one can determine the heart
beat rate of an individual.
145. (b) : Phosphorus is a major constituent of
biological membranes, nucleic acids and cellular
energy transfer systems. Many animals also need
large quantities o f this element to make shells,
bones and teeth. The natural reservoir o f
phosphorus is rock, which contains phosphorus in
the form o f phosphates. When rocks are weathered,
minute amounts of these phosphates dissolve in
soil solution and are absorbed by the roots of the
plants. Herbivores and other animals obtain this
element from plants.
146. (a) : Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH),
stimulates the anterior lobe o f the pituitary gland
to secrete two gonadotropic hormones, follicle
stim ulating hormone (FSH ) and luteinising
hormone (Li-1). In male LH activates the Leydig's
(interstitial) cells of the testis to secrete androgens.
147. (c) : Human beings have a significant ability to
maintain and moderate the respiratory rhythm to
suit the demands of the body tissues. A specialised
centre present in the medulla region of the brain
called respiratory rhythm centre is primarily
responsible for this regulation. A chemosensitive
area is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which
is highly sensitive to CO, and hydrogen ions.
Increase in these substances can activate this centre,
which in turn can signal the rhythm centre to make
necessary adjustments in the respiratory process
by which these substances can be eliminated.
148. (b)
149. (a) : Microvilli increases absorptive surface area.
Typhlosolar region in earthworm is the middle
region of the intestine in which the mid-dorsal wall
of the intestine is thrown into a longitudinal fold
which is known as typhlosole. The typhlosole
increases the absorptive surface of the intestine.
150. ( b ) : In ciliated epithelium, the cells bear numerous
delicate hair like outgrowths, the cilia, arising from
basal granules. This epithelium lines most of the
respiratory tract and Fallopian tubes (oviducts). It
is also present in tympanic cavity o f middle ear
and auditory tube (Eustachian tube).
151. (a) : Cyclic photophosphorylation is a process of
pliotophosphorylation in which an electron
expelled by the excited photocentre is returned to
it after passing through a series of electron carriers.
Cyclic pliotophosphorylation is performed by
photosystem 1 only. The electron is circulated
within the photosystem and the phosphorylation
occurs due to cyclic flow of electron. The excited
electron does not pass on to NADP* but is cycled
back to the PS I complex through the electron
transport chain. The cyclic flow hence, results only
in the synthesis o f ATP, but not of NADPH + H\
152. (c) : Elephant has the longest gestation period
among the given animals. The gestation period o f
an elephant is 624-645 days.
153. (c) : Plasmid is a structure in bacterial cells
consisting o f DNA that can exist and replicate
independently o f the chromosome. These are
extrachromosomal circular dsDNA which provide
genetic instructions for certain cell activities (e.g.
resistance to antibiotic drugs). They can be
transferred from cell to cell in a bacterial colony.
Plasmids are widely used as vectors to produce
recombinant DNA for gene cloning.
154. (c ): Concept of chemical evolution refers to origin
o f life from non living matter. First inorganic
compounds and then organic compounds were
formed in accordance with ever changing
environmental conditions.

156. (b) : Processes of recombinant DNA technology
involves isolation o f D N A o f a desired DNA
fragment. In order to cut the DNA with restriction
enzymes, it needs to be in pure form, free from
other macro molecules. The DNA is enclosed
within the membranes, we have to break the cell
open to release DNA along with
m acrom olecules such as R NA, proteins,
polysaccharides and also lipids. This can be
achieved by treating the bacterial cells/plant or
animal tissue with enzymes such as lysozyme
(bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase
(fungus). The RNA can be removed by treatment
with ribonuclease whereas proteins can be removed
by treatment with protease.
162. (b) : Cork consists o f dead and compactly arranged
rectangular cells that possess suberised cell walls.
The cork cells contain tannins. Hence, they appear
brown or dark brown in colour. The cork cells of
some plants are filled with air. Cork prevents the
loss o f water by evaporation. It also protects the
other interior against entry o f harmful micro-organisms,
mechanical injury and extremes of temperature.
Cork is light, compressible, nonreactive and
sufficiently resistant to fire. It is used as stopper
for bottles, shock absorption and insulation.

160. (a) : Calvin pathway occurs in all photosynthetic
plants which is C 0 2 fixation cycle. Carbon dioxide
combines with ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate to
produce a transient intermediate compound. The
intermediate compound splits up immediately in
the presence o f water to form the two molecules
o f 3-phosphoglycerate or PGA. It is the first stable
165. (d) : The descending limb o f loop o f Henle is
permeable to water but almost impermeable to
electrolytes. This concentrates the filtrate as it
moves down.
166. (a) : Shrinkage o f the protoplast of a cell under the
influence o f a hypertonic solution is called
. plasmolysis. Hypertonic solution causes exosmosis
or withdrawal of water from cytoplasm and then
the central vacuole o f cell. The size o f cytoplasm
as well as central vacuole and hence protoplast
 becomes reduced. The pressure on the wall is
sim ultaneously reduced and the elastic wall
contracts causing a reduction in cell size.
167. (a) : Inbreeding refers to the mating of closely
related individuals within the same breed for 4-6
generations. Superior males and superior females
of the same breed are identified and mated in pairs.
....... The progeny obtained from such matings are
evaluated and superior males and females among
them are identified for further mating. Inbreeding
increases homozygosity. Thus inbreeding is
necessary if we want to evolve a pureline in any
animal.
168. (cl) : The process o f delivery o f the foetus
(childbirth) is called parturition. Parturition is
induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism.
The signals for parturition originate from the fully
developed foetus and the placenta which induce
mild uterine contractions called foetal ejection
reflex. This triggers release o f oxytocin from the
maternal pituitary. Oxytocin acts on the uterine
muscle and causes stronger uterine contractions,
which-in turn stimulates further secretion o f
oxytocin. The stimulatory reflex between the
uterine contraction and oxytocin secretion
continues resulting in stronger and stronger
contractions. This leads to expulsion o f the baby
out of the uterus through the birth canal.
169. (c)
170. (c) t Incomplete dominance is the phenomenon
where none of the two contrasting alleles or factors
is dominant. The expression of the character in a
hybrid or l:( individual is intermediate or a fine
mixture o f the expression o f the two factors. The
inheritance of flower colour in Antirrhinum is a
good example to understand incom plete
dominance. There are two types of flower colour
in pure state, red and white. When the two types
o f plants are crossed, the hybrid or plants of Ff
generation have pink flowers. The pink colour
apparently appears due to mixing of red and white
colours {incomplete dominance).
171. (c) : Presence of large amounts of nutrients in
water causes excessive growth o f planktonic (free-
floating) algae, called an algal bloom which imparts
distinct colour to the water bodies. Algal blooms
cause deterioration of the water quality and fish
mortality. Biomagnification refers to increase in
concentration o f the toxicant at successive trophic
levels.
172. (d) : Bile (gall) is a bitter-tasting greenish-yellow
alkaline fluid produced by the liver, stored in the
gall bladder, and secreted into the duodenum of
vertebrates. It assists the digestion and absorption
of fats by the action o f bile salts, which chemically
reduce fatty substances and decrease the surface
tension of fat droplets so that they are broken down
and emulsified. Bile may also stimulate gut muscle
contraction (peristalsis). Bile also contains the bile
pigments, bilirubin and biliverdin, which are
produced by the breakdown o f the blood pigment
haemoglobin.
173. ( a ) : The word "emphysema" means "inflation" or
"full of air". Emphysema is an inflation or abnormal
distension of the bronchioles or alveolar sacs of
the lungs. It causes irreversible distension and loss
of elasticity of alveoli. Asa result, the alveolar sacs
remain filled with air even after expiration. The
exhalation becomes more difficult. The lungs
remain inflated. Many o f the septa between the
alveoli are destroyed and much o f the elastic tissue
of the lungs is replaced by connective tissue. Major
causes are cigarette smoking and the inhalation o f
other smoke or toxic substances over a period of
time.
174. (b) : DNA fingerprinting involves identifying
differences in some specific regions in D NA
sequence called as repetitive DNA, because in these
sequences, a small stretch o f DNA is repeated many
times. These sequences normally do not code for
any proteins, but they form a large portion of human
genome. These sequence show high degree o f
polym orphism and form the basis o f D N A
fingerprinting. As the polym orphism s are
inheritable from parents to children, D N A
fingerprinting is the basis o f paternity testing in
case of disputes.
175. (c ): Parasitism is a relationship between two living
organisms o f different species in which one
organism called parasite obtains its food directly
from another living organism called host.
Majority o f the parasites harm the host; they may
reduce the survival, growth and reproduction o f
the host and reduce its population density.
