National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 2

An individual with genotype AaBbCcddEe is crossed with another individual with genotype AabbCcDdEe. Assuming the Mendelian pattern of inheritance, predict the proportion of aabbccddee among the progeny of this cross?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 2

AaBbCcddEe × AabbCcDdEe

Here, each gene is crossed separately and the probability of the desired gene is obtained by multiplying the probability of each gene as shown below:

Aa x Aa --- AA Aa Aa aa, Probability of aa = 1/4

Bb x bb --- Bb Bb bb bb, Probability of bb = 2/4

Cc x Cc --- CC Cc Cc cc, Probability of cc = 1/4

dd x Dd --- Dd dd Dd dd, Probability of dd = 2/4

Ee x Ee --- EE Ee Ee ee, Probability of ee = 1/4

Probability of aabbccddee = 1/4 x 2/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 x 1/4 = 1/256

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 3

Which one of the four methods of propagation is likely to lead to maximum variation in DNA sequence through generations?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 3

Human beings are sexually reproducing organisms. In this process, two parents are involved in producing a new individual. Offspring are produced by the fusion of gametes (sex cells) from each parent. Hence, the newly formed individual will be different from parents, both genetically and physically. Whereas budding, binary fission, and vegetative propagation are asexual mode of reproduction which involve single parent, hence the off springs produced will be similar to the parent.

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 7

In adjacent agricultural lands of nearly equal dimensions, two farmers A and B had cultivated crops of their choice and observed standard practices. A pathogen attacked the crops and destroyed them in the land belonging to farmer A. as a result of which he suffered a complete loss. Although the pathogen attacked the adjacent land belonging to farmer B, he was able to earn some money by selling the yield. The possible explanation for the above is

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 7

When two or more crops are grown on the same land simultaneously, it is known as mixed cropping. Farmer B must have cultivated 2 crops (mixed cropping) so that one crop will be saved if another crop gets destroyed by pathogens.

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 8

A biology teacher placed a hen's egg in three different solutions:

Solution A: Pure water,
Solution B: saturated salt solution,
Solution C: Hydrochloric acid,

The sequence of treatments and the ensuing probable effect on the egg are listed below;

I. A → B → C → Remains unchanged
II. B → C → A → Swells
III. C → A → B → Shrinks
IV. B → A → C → Loses salts

Based on the above sequence to treatment which one of the options will be correct?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 8

Eggshells are impermeable to water and saturated salt solution but when the egg is placed in HCl then the eggshell (which is made of CaCO3) will be dissolved and a semi-permeable membrane will be exposed.

Now in this condition the egg will gain/swell when put in water and will shrink when put in a concentrated salt solution.

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 9

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 10

An experiment conducted in the laboratory is tabulated below.

What would be the colour observed in test tubes A, B and C at the end of the experiment?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 10

Test tube A

Saliva + Iodine → Incubation = Yellow

Since no starch is present, it shows the yellow colour of iodine.

Test tube B

Starch + saliva → incubation = No colour

Salivary amylase present in the saliva breaks down starch into maltose. Hence no colour is observed.

Test tube C

Starch + saliva + enzyme inhibitor → incubation + iodine = blue black

Here, due to the presence of enzyme inhibitors, the salivary amylase will not be able to break down starch. The starch reacts with iodine to give blue-black colour.

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 13

Virulent forms of the bacterium staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen. Some strains of which cause – 'flesh eating disease'. Earlier the antibiotic Penicillin was used to control this pathogen. After some years Penicillin was ineffective. Hence a powerful antibiotic- Methicillin was used in treatments. Subsequently, Methicillin also became ineffective and the strains showed resistance to multiple antibiotics also called "multi-drug resistance". Which one of the following statements regarding development of multi-drug resistance is correct?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 13

Given antibiotic penicillin was used to control this pathogen after which methicillin was used as penicillin became ineffective. Gradually methicillin also became ineffective so it led to ‘multi’ drug resistance. This is probably because antibiotics helped in the selection for bacteria with mutations in the DNA conferring drug resistance which were already present in the population.

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 14

1.80 g of glucose (C6H12O6) was dissolved in 36g of water. The number of oxygen atom in solution are:

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 14

No. of atoms of oxygen in glucose = 1.80/180 × NA × 6

No. of atoms of oxygen in water = 36/18 × NA × 1

= 0.06 × NA + 2× NA

= 2.06 × NA

= 2.06 × 6.023 × 1023

= 12.40 × 1023

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 17

100 mL of a solution containing 0.1 mole of NaOH per litre was mixed with 100 mL solution containing 0.02 mole of H2SO4 per litre. The amount of NaOH in the mixture in grams will be

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 17

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O

Milliequivalent of NaOH = 0.1 x 100 x 1 = 10

Milliequivalent of H2SO4 = 0,02 x 100 x 2 = 4

After neutralisation, remaining millimoles of NaOH = 10 - 4 = 6

Mass = 6 x 10-3 x 40 = 0.24 g

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 18

On oxidation with alkaline KMnO4 followed by acidification of the reaction mixture, which one of the following alcohols would produce an acid having three structural isomers?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 18

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 19

Atomic number of an element Z is 16. Element Z has two isotopes Z1 and Z2 with 16 and 18 neutrons, respectively. The average atomic mass of a sample of the element Z is 32.1 u. Which one of the following percentages of Z1 and Z2 in the sample is correct?

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 19

Average atomic mass = (mass × abundance + Mass × Abundance)/100

Atomic No: = 16

Mass of Z1 = 16 + 16 = 32

Mass of Z2 = 16 + 18 = 34

32.1 = (32x + 34(100 – x))/100

3210 = 32 x + 3400 – 34x

190 = 2x

x = 95 %

Thus, Z= 95 and Z2 = 5%.

National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 20

Detergents are also called surface-active agents (surfactants). These have two distinct parts: one hydrophilic spherical part and another hydrophobic long tail made of carbons chain. Two experiments ‘A’ and ‘B’ were carried out. In experiment ‘A’, surfactant was added in a beaker containing water. In experiment ‘B’, surfactant was added in a beaker containing hexane.

Following are possible results in these experiments:

I. In experiment ‘A’ (see figure ‘a’) micelle is formed, where the hydrophobic part is inside the micelle and the hydrophilic part is outside the micelle.
II. In experiment ‘B’ (see figure ‘b’) micelle of reverse type is formed where the hydrophilic part is inside the micelle and the hydrophobic part is outside the micelle.
III. Micelle of reverse type is formed in experiment ‘A’.
IV. Micelles are large enough to scatter light in ‘A’.

Detailed Solution for National Level Solved Paper (SAT) - 2019-20 - Question 20

In experiment A, surfactant was added in a beaker containing water (polar). Thus, a micelle is formed where the hydrophilic part is in contact with water and the hydrophobic part is inside as shown in figure ‘a’.

In experiment B, surfactant was added to a beaker containing hexane (organic solvent). Thus, the hydrophobic part is in contact with hexane which is non-polar in nature.
