A boat navigates between three points along a river: A, B, and C, with B being an intermediate point that is equidistant from both A and C. The entire duration for the boat to go from A to B and back to A is 6 hours. If the trip from A to C takes 4 hours, what is the duration needed for the boat to travel from C back to A?

Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 2 - Question 3

The boat navigates between points A, B, and C, with B being equidistant from A and C. The boat takes 6 hours to travel from A to B and back, and 4 hours to travel from A to C. We need to find the duration for the boat to travel from C back to A.

Let the speed of the boat in still water be v_b and the speed of the river current be v_r. The time for the journey from A to B and back is:

\

The time from A to C is:

To find the time from C to A, we use the equation:

Thus, the duration needed for the boat to travel from C back to A is 8 hours.

Which HIV protein binds to the CD4 receptor present on T-cells during the early stage of infection?
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 2 - Question 8

The entry of HIV into a host cell begins when the viral envelope protein gp120 binds to the CD4 receptor, a protein on the surface of certain T-cells. The binding of gp120 to CD4 changes the shape of gp120, allowing it to attach to another receptor on the cell membrane, usually CCR5. gp41 is another surface protein that mediates fusion of HIV with the target cell. The protein p17 forms the outer nucleocapsid layer in HIV.

What does the term Lyonisation refer to?
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 2 - Question 13

In humans, females have two copies of the X-chromosome whereas males have only one. X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated. The inactive X chromosome is silenced by it being packaged in such a way that it has a transcriptionally inactive structure called heterochromatin.

Let x and y be two random variables such that E[x2] equals E[y2], and both have a mean of zero. Define two new random variables, w1 and w2, as follows:
w1 = x × y and w2 = x − y.
What is the correlation coefficient between w1 and w2?

Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 2 - Question 15


⇒ E[(x + y)(x – y)] – E[x + y] E[x – y] = E[x2 – y2] = 0
pw1w2 = 0
x + y and x – y are orthogonal to each other.

P. Lysosome → 1. Digestion of foreign substances
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down foreign materials and cellular waste.

Q. Smooth ER → 3. Lipid synthesis
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER) is involved in lipid and steroid hormone synthesis.

R. Golgi apparatus → 2. Protein targeting
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport to different destinations.

Determine the turnover number for an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction at a velocity of 2.0 × 105 mol s-1μ-1. (In this case, [S] = Km; [E] = 10-3 mol μl-1)
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 2 - Question 17

When [S] = Km,
V = Vm/2
Or Vm = V × 2
= 2.0 × 105 × 2
= 4.0 × 105 mol s-1 μl-1 
Turnover number kcat = Vm/[E]
= 4.0 × 105/10-3
= 4.0 × 108s-1

Which of the following statements about cell division are correct?

P. During the anaphase phase of mitosis and meiosis I, sister chromatids detach from each other.
Q. In the anaphase of mitosis and meiosis II, sister chromatids move apart from one another.
R. Homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids are positioned at the metaphase plate during the metaphase phase of mitosis and meiosis I, respectively.
S. Unpaired chromosomes and homologous chromosomes are arranged at the metaphase plate during the metaphase stage of mitosis and meiosis I, respectively.
Detailed Solution for GATE Biotechnology Mock Test - 2 - Question 18

The events in meiosis II are similar to those that take place in mitosis, i.e. the sister chromatids separate from each other during the anaphase stage. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate from each other during anaphase. There is no homologous pairing in mitosis and hence, unpaired chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
