Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 5

Binary fission in diatoms reduces the size of most daughters which is corrected through the development of auxospores.
In some filamentous cyanobacterial forms unisexual reproduction occurs by hormogonia (hormocysts). They are identified by presence of biconcave (one disk or separation disc between two adjacent cells e.g. Oscillatoria).

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 6

 All of the following statements concerning the Actinomycetes filamentous soil bacterium Frankia are correct except that Frankia : [2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 6

Frankia, aerobic Gram-positive actinomycetes can induce root nodules in about 8 families. These bacteria cannot fix nitrogen in free living state. They can infect the host root by intracellularly by infecting curled root hair or intercellularly by penetrating between two rhizoderm cells and then progress toward cortical cells. These bacteria in free-living state form diazovesicles containing nitrogenase which is protected from oxygen by a series of laminated lipid layers.

So all the statements are correct.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 7

For retting of jute the fermenting microbe used is[2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 7

Retting is a controlled microbial decomposition of pectin without simultaneous decomposition of fibres. Retting process is used for obtaining fibres from steins of flax, hemp, jute etc. For this purpose stems of fibre yielding plants are immersed in water for Song period where decomposition sets in. Retting is facilitated by anaerobic butyric acid bacteria such as Clostridium botulinwn, Clostridium tetani and Clostridium perfringens. These bacteria primarily decompose the plant pectin thus freeing the fibres. If process of retting continues for a long time then cellulose fermenting bacteria develop and destroy the fibres.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 10

Which of the following statements regarding cilia is not correct ? [2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 10

Cilia are fine hair-like vibratile, cytoplasmic processes borne by certain cell types. Their movement either propel the organism or move the medium past a fixed cell. The cilia are enclosed by a unit membrane which is an extension of the plasma membrane of the cell. Within the membrane, is a fluid matrix having a supporting axial shaft, or axoneme. The axoneme is composed of eleven microtubules. Two microtubules are single and lie at the centre with a gap in-between. They are called central singlets. The remaining nine microtubules are double and lie in a ring around the central microtubules. The two microtubules forming a doublet are named A and B subtubules. The microtubules, single as well as double, are composed of the globular units of the protein tubulin. The arms of A microtubules contain protein dynein. The latter is ATPase enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and transfers the free energy released directly to ciliary work.

So, the correct answer is 'The organized beating of cilia is controlled by fluxes of Ca2+ across the membrane'.

31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 22

Which one is the wrong pairing for the disease and its causal organism? [2009]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 22

Late blight is caused by the fungus Phy-tophthora infestans. Late blight appears on potato or tomato leaves as pale green, water-soaked spots, often beginning at leaftips or edges. The circular or irregular leaf lesions are often surrounded by a pale yellowishgreen border that merges with healthy tissue. Lesions enlarge rapidly and turn dark brown to purplish-black. During periods of high humidity and leaf wetness, a cottony, white mold growth is usually visible on lower leaf surfaces at the edges of lesions. In dry weather, infected leaf tissues quickly dry up and the white mold growth disappears. Infected areas on stems appear brown to black and entire veins may be killed in a short time when moist weather persists.

 Phylogenetic system of classification is based on:[2009]

Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Biological Classification - 3 - Question 23

Phylogenetic system of classification is based on evolutionary relationships. This phylogenetic classification system names only clades-groups of organisms that are all descended from a common ancestor. Under a system of phylogenetic classification, we could name any clade on this tree. For example, the Testudines, Squamata, Archosauria, and Crocodylomorpha all form clades.
