Test: Biology Assertion and Reasoning Type Questions (March 30) - Question 1
Save

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: DNA is considered to be better genetic material than RNA for most organisms.
Reason: 2'-OH group present in DNA makes it labile and less reactive.

Detailed Solution for Test: Biology Assertion and Reasoning Type Questions (March 30) - Question 1

The genetic material should be stable enough not to change with different stages of life cycle, age or with change in physiology of the organism. The DNA strands being complementary, if separated by heating come together only when appropriate conditions are provided. Further, 2'-OH group present at every nucleotide in RNA is a reactive group and makes RNA labile and easily degradable. RNA is also now known to be catalytic, hence reactive. Therefore, DNA chemically is less reactive and structurally more stable when compared to RNA. Therefore, among the two nucleic acids, DNA is a better genetic material.

Directions: In the following questions a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: Exine of a pollen grain is made up of sporopollenins which are resistant to high temperatures, strong acids or alkali as well as enzymatic degradation.
Reason: Sporopollenins are absent in the region of germ pores.

Detailed Solution for Test: Biology Assertion and Reasoning Type Questions (March 30) - Question 2

Wall of a pollen grain consists of two layers– outer exine and inner intine. Exine is the hard outer layer which is made up of sporopollenin. Sporopollenin is one of the most resistant organic material known. It can withstand high temperature, strong acids or alkali and is not degraded by enzymes. Because of the presence of sporopollenin, pollen grains are well preserved as fossils. At certain places, the exine is thin or absent, these areas may have thickened intine or deposition of callose. They are called germ pores (if rounded) or germinal furrows (if elongated). Sporopollenin is absent in the region of germ pores or germinal furrows.

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion: Amniocentesis is often missemployed.

Reason: Amniocentesis is meant for determining the genetic disorders in the foetus, but it is being used to determine the sex of the foetus, leading to death of the normal female foetus.
Detailed Solution for Test: Biology Assertion and Reasoning Type Questions (March 30) - Question 5

Amniocentesis (amniotic fluid test or AFT) is a medical procedure used in prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities and fetal infections, and also for sex determination, in which a small amount of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal tissue, is sampled from the amniotic sac surrounding a developing foetus, and then the fetal DNA is examined for genetic abnormalities.
