Detailed Solution for Test: Biological Classification 6 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 3

H. Temin and D. Baltimore (1970) discovered that tumor viruses contain RNA as genetic material and replicate by synthesizing complementary DNA. This process is called reverse transcription and it is carried by an RNA dependent DNA polymerase called as reverse transcriptase.

Detailed Solution for Test: Biological Classification 6 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 4

All viruses are nucleoprotein (Nucleic acid + Protein) in the structure. The nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) is genetic material. In a particular virus either DNA or RNA is genetic material never both are present in a virus. Hence viruses are : (i) Double stranded  DNA or ds DNA - Hepatitis B (ii) Single stranded DNA or ss DNA - coliphage (iii) Double stranded RNA or ds RNA - Reo virus, wound Tumor virus (iv) Single stranded RNA or ss RNA - Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)

Detailed Solution for Test: Biological Classification 6 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 5

Besides Nuclear DNA, bacteria possesses extranuclear DNA (outside the nucleoid region) called as plasmid which can replicate independently. Due to this property plasmid holds great importance in genetic engineering. Plasmid can be taken out of bacteria and made to combine with desired DNA segment. A plasmid carrying DNA of other organism now it is known as cosmid which can be introduced into any desired cells. This is the basis of genetic engineering.

Test: Biological Classification 6 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 17

Decomposers are organisms that [1994]

Detailed Solution for Test: Biological Classification 6 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 17

Decomposers act on dead bodies converting complex organic constituents into simple soluble form.
They obtain their energy from dead organisms. Decomposers themselves are organisms (often fungi, earthworms, or bacteria) that break down organic materials to gain nutrients and energy. Decomposers accelerate the natural process of decomposition. They supply the required nutrients for other trophic levels.

The fungi on the tree are decomposers.
When an organism dies, it leaves behind nutrients that are locked tightly together. A scavenger might eat the carcass, but its feces would still contain a considerable amount of unused energy and nutrients. Decomposers will later induce further breakdown. This last step releases raw nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium) in a form usable to plants, which quickly incorporate the chemicals into their own cells. This process greatly increases the nutrientload of an ecosystem, in turn allowing for greater biodiversity.
