VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 2

What is the primary reason viruses were not included in Whittaker's five kingdom classification?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

The key reason viruses were not considered living organisms in Whittaker's classification is their lack of cellular structure, rendering them acellular. Unlike living cells, viruses must infect host cells to replicate, as they cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own. This is why Option B is correct. The other options are incorrect: Viruses can reproduce but only inside a host cell (Option C), they are not necessarily larger than bacteria (Option A), and they contain either DNA or RNA, but not both (Option D).

Viruses lack cellular structure, making them non-living outside hosts, so they’re excluded from Whittaker’s classification.

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 3

Which of the following characteristics is common to members of the Ascomycetes?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Ascomycetes, commonly known as sac-fungi, are distinguished by their mode of sexual reproduction, where they produce ascospores endogenously within sac-like structures called asci. These asci are often organized into larger fruiting bodies known as ascocarps. This makes Option C the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as zoospores are characteristic of some other fungi groups like Phycomycetes. Option B is also incorrect for Ascomycetes, whose mycelium is typically septate and not coenocytic. Option D is incorrect as it describes Deuteromycetes, not Ascomycetes.

Ascomycetes produce ascospores in asci, a hallmark of their sexual reproduction.

Meiosis II is divided into four phases. The centromere of each chromosome divides into two so that there is one centromere for each chromatid in

Detailed Solution: Question 8

The centromere of each chromosome divides into two so that there is one centromere for each chromatid in Anaphase II. It is the stage when sister chromatids of every chromosome separate and begin to move towards the opposite ends of the cell. The separation and the movement is due to the shortening of the kinetochore microtubules. Anaphase II precedes telophase II.

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 9

The sequence of the 5’ and 3’ primers for the following DNA sequence will be:
5’ AATGCGGCAATCGAGTC3’
3’ TTACGCCGTTAGCTCCAG5’

Detailed Solution: Question 9

The sequence of the 5’ and 3’ primers for the given DNA sequence will be 5’ AATGC 3’, 5’ GACTC 3’. In primer design, the forward primer is derived directly from the start of the DNA sequence, which is 5’ AATGC 3’. The reverse primer is complementary to the end of the sequence, considering the antiparallel nature of DNA, resulting in 5’ GACTC 3’. This follows the standard method for designing primers, as discussed in PCR techniques and DNA replication processes.

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 10

Assertion: Biofertilizers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil.
Reason: Organic farming is the farming technique in which no chemical is used as fertilizers or insecticides.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Explanation of Assertion: Biofertilizers are living microorganisms that, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promote growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. They are a natural and environmentally friendly way to provide essential nutrients to plants, which in turn boosts soil fertility and productivity.

Explanation of Reason: Organic farming is an agricultural system that seeks to provide the consumer with fresh, tasty, and authentic food while respecting natural life-cycle systems. It involves the use of natural fertilizers, such as compost, manure, and green manure, instead of synthetic fertilizers. It also relies on natural pest control methods, such as biological control, crop rotation, and the use of resistant plant varieties, instead of chemical pesticides.

While both the assertion and reason are correct statements, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The assertion is about the role of biofertilizers in enriching soil nutrients, while the reason is about the principles of organic farming, which is a broader concept that encompasses not only the use of biofertilizers but also other natural and sustainable practices.

Topic in NCERT: MICROBES AS BIOFERTILISERS

Topic in NCERT: Microbes as biofertilisers

Line in NCERT: "biofertilisers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil."

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 11

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 23

The temperature of equal masses of three different liquids A, B, and C are 12℃, 19℃, and 28℃, respectively. The temperature when A and B are mixed is 16℃, and when B and C are mixed is 23℃. The temperature when A and C are mixed is:

Detailed Solution: Question 23

Let the mass of all the liquids be m.
Let s1, s2, s3 be the respective specific heats of the liquids A, B, and C.
The initial temperatures of A, B, and C are 12°C, 19°C, and 28°C, respectively.

Case 1: Mixing A and B
When A and B are mixed, the temperature of the mixture is 16°C.

We know that heat gained by A = heat lost by B,

m s1 (16 - 12) = ms2 (19 - 16)

4 s1 = 3s2 ...(i)

Case 2: Mixing B and C
When B and C are mixed, the temperature of the mixture is 23°C.

m s2 (23 - 19) = m s3 (28 - 23)

4 s2 = 5 s₃ ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii):
s1 = (3/4) s= (15/16) s₃

Case 3: Mixing A and C
When A and C are mixed, suppose the temperature of the mixture is t.

m s1 (t - 12) = m s3 (28 - t)

Substituting s1 = (15/16) s3:

(15/16) s3 (t - 12) = s3 (28 - t)

Canceling s3 from both sides:

(15/16) (t - 12) = (28 - t)

Multiplying by 16:

15t - 180 = 448 - 16t

31t = 628

t = 628 / 31 = 20.3°C

Thus, the final temperature when A and C are mixed is 20.3°C.

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 24

K is the force constant of a spring. The work done in increasing its extension from I1 to I2 will be

Detailed Solution: Question 24

Work done by the string in increasing its extension from I1 to I2 is the difference in potential energy stored in it.

We know that the potential energy stored is U = 1/2 Kx².

So, at extension I1,
UI1 = 1/2 K I1².

At extension I2,
UI2 = 1/2 K I2².

Work done, W = ΔU = UI2 - UI1 = 1/2 K (I2² - I1²).

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 25

Sweet makers do not clean the bottom of cauldron because

Detailed Solution: Question 25

Sweet makers do not clean the bottom of the cauldron because they need the cauldron to absorb more and more heat and be heated quickly so, they can make sweets in less time.

Black, rough surfaces absorb more heat than bright ones, so sweet makers keep cauldron bottoms unclean to heat quickly.

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 29

The second electron affinity is zero for

Detailed Solution: Question 29

The second electron affinity refers to the energy change when an electron is added to a negatively charged ion, i.e., when an additional electron is added to an anion.

  • Alkali metals (Group 1) typically have a positive electron affinity for the first electron (they form a +1 cation), but the second electron affinity is positive because adding an electron to a negatively charged ion (such as M⁻ → M²⁻) would require energy. Hence, the second electron affinity is not zero for alkali metals.
  • Halogens (Group 17) have a negative electron affinity for the first electron (they form a -1 anion), but adding a second electron (to form a -2 anion) would involve repulsion between the two negatively charged ions, making the second electron affinity positive or at least very small, but not zero.
  • Noble gases (Group 18) already have a full valence shell, and their second electron affinity is zero because they already have a stable electron configuration, and adding an electron would disrupt this stable configuration. Therefore, the second electron affinity is zero for noble gases.
  • Transition metals have varying electron affinities, but generally, their second electron affinity is not zero. These metals do not exhibit a simple trend like noble gases.

Conclusion: The second electron affinity is zero for Noble gases.
Thus, the correct answer is: C: Noble gases.

VITEEE PCBE Mock Test - 5 - Question 30

Ravi sells an article at a gain of . If he had sold it at ₹22.50 more, he would have gained 25%. What is the cost price of the article?

Detailed Solution: Question 30

Let the cost price of an article be ₹x.

Selling price of the article at a gain of 12.5% is:
SP = Cost Price + Gain % of Cost Price
x + 12.5% of x
x + (1/8) × x
₹(9/8) x

Selling price of the article at a gain of 25% is:
SP = Cost Price + Gain % of Cost Price
x + 25% of x
x + (1/4) × x
₹(5/4) x

According to the question, the difference between the selling prices at 25% and 12.5% gain is ₹22.50:
(5/4)x - (9/8)x = ₹22.50

Converting to a common denominator:
(10x/8) - (9x/8) = ₹22.50
(x/8) = ₹22.50
x = ₹22.50 × 8
x = ₹180

Thus, the cost price of the article is ₹180.
