121. (c) : Stinging cells (cnidocytes or cnidoblasts
or n em atoblasts) are used for offence and
defence. These have nematocysts (the stinging
organs), composed of capsule, shaft and thread
tube. The thread tube coils around the prey
or attach es to it or in jects a toxin, called
hypnotoxin which paralyzes the victim. They
are found in cnidarians- sea pen (Pennatuia),
sea fan (Gorgonin), etc.
122. (b) : The DNA used as a carrier for transferring
a fragment of foreign DNA into a suitable host
is called vehicle DNA or cloning vector or gene
carrier. The Ti plasm id (tum our inducing
plasm id ) is present in Agrobacteritun
tumefaciens, a Gram negative soil bacterium
that infects a wide range of plants and causes
tumorous growth specially at the root /stem
junction (crown gall). The 77plasmid comprises
the gene responsible for the tumorous growth,
gets incorporated into the genome of infected
plant cells. This property is of interest for
genetic engineering as Ti plasmid can be used
as DNA vector by rep lacin g the tum our
inducing genes with the gene of interest and
a m arker gene to en able selection of
transformed cells. The Ti plasmid, is widely
used in plant genetic engineering as a vector,
novel plan t genes being spliced into the
plasmid sequence by gene m anipulation and
thus carried into the host plant cells. This
provides the opportunity to develop new and
better species.
Solutions 2013
123. (d) : The total number of species estimated is
about 1.74 million. Out of these, the number of
known species in India is 1,42,000 or roughly
8.1% of the total though India has only 2.4%
land area. India with about 45000 species of
plants and twice as many species of animals
is one of the 12 m egadiversity countries of
the world.
124. (b) : Non-native or alien species are often
introduced inadvertently for their economic
and other uses. They often become invasive
and drive away the local species. These
species are considered to be second m ajor
cause of extinction of species (the first being
h ab itat d estru ction). Lantana camara has
replaced many species in forests of Central
India. Parthenium hystcro-pitortis has pushed
out several herbs and shrubs from open places
in the plain s. W ater hyacinth (E ichhoniia
crassipes) was introduced in Indian waters to
reduce p ollution. It clogged w ater bodies
including wetlands at many places resulting
in death of several aquatic plants and animals.
Nelumbo (lotus) is not an invasive species.
125. (a) : Cardiac muscle fibres are found in the j
wall of heart. They have dark intercalated
d iscs at in terv als. These are specialized
regions of cell membranes of two adjacent fibres.
They permit the wave of muscle contraction to
be transmitted from one cardiac fibre to another.
126. <c) : When fertilization occurs outside the body [
of the organism, this type of gametic fusion
is called external fertilizatio n or external
syngamy. The external medium such as water
is required for this type of fertilization. Thus,
in most aquatic organisms such as a majority |
of algae, fishes and am phibians, extern al J 132. (d) : Secondary metabolites are derivatives of
fertilization occurs.
127. (d) : Sem inal vesicles produce an alkaline j
secretion which forms 60% of the volume of I
semen. The secretion of the sem inal vesicles
contains fructose, p rostaglandins, citrate,
inositol, and clotting proteins. Prostate gland
produces a milky and slightly alkaline secretion
which forms 25% of the volume of semen. It
possesses calcium , phosphate, bicarbonate,
enzymes prefibrolysin, clotting enzymes, and
prostaglandins. B ulbourethral glands or
Cowper's glands also secrete an alkaline fluid
which neutralizes acids from urine in the
urethera. Their secretion contributes the least
to semen but is very im portant.
j 128. (a) : All the options are examples of intra­
j uterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs). These
j are plastic or metal objects which are inserted
j by doctors in the uterus through vagina. Lippe’s
j loop is non-m edicated IUCD. CuT and
[ Multi load are copper releasing IUCDs, which
| suppress m otility and fertilizing capacity of
sperms. Progestasert is a hormone releasing
IUCD which makes the uterus unsuitable for
implantation and cervix hostile to the sperms.
129. (a)
130. (b) : Inside the red blood cells, oval-shaped
merozoites stop proceeding with erythrocytic
cycle to increase in size and become rounded
g am etocytes. M ale gam etocytes or
m icrogam etocytes are sm aller and contain
a large diffused nucleus. Female gametocytes
(or mega gametocytes) are larger with a small
com pact p eriph eral nucleus. These do not
divide but rem ain as intracellular parasites
within their host's blood corpuscles, until they
either die or are ingested by the vectors. They
give rise to gam etes in insects.
131. (c ) : Endosperm is the food laden tissue which
is meant for nourishing the em bryo in seed
plants. In gymnosperms, it represents the female
gam etophyte and thus is h ap loid (n). In
angiosperms, the endosperm is a special tissue
which is formed as a result of fusion of a male
gamete with diploid secondary nucleus of the
central cell (vegetative fertilization or triple
fusion). The fusion product is prim ary
endosperm cell having a triploid (3n) endosperm
nucleus.
j prim ary m etabolites which have no direct
function in growth and development of plants.
These compounds are accessory rather than
central to the functioning, e.g., arbrin, cellulose,
gums, diterpenes, carotenoids, curcumin,
rubber etc. Arginine, tyrosine, glycine, serine
and phenylalanine are amino acids, which
are prim ary m etabolites.
133. (d) : S-phase is known as synthetic phase. In
this stage replication of DNA takes place on
the tem plate of the existing DNA and thus
the amount of DNA per cell doubles. If the
initial amount of DNA is denoted as 2C, then
 it increases to 4C.
134. (d) : The outer layer of pollen grain is called
exine. It is thick and smooth and culticularised.
The cutin is called sporopollenin. It is not
degraded by any enzyme. It is not affected
by high tem perature, strong acid or strong
alkali. Thus, it is resistant to chem ical and
b iolo gical d ecom position. Because of
sporopollenin, pollen grains are well preserved
as m icrofossils.
135. (a) : Pollen viability is the period for which
pollen grains retain the ability to germinate.
Pollen viability is little in flowers which are
pollinated in bud condition. It is 30 minutes
in rice and w heat. It depends upon
environmental conditions of temperature and
humidity.
136. (b) : Double fertilization is the fusion of two
male gametes brought about by a pollen tube
fusing to two different cells of the same female
gametophyte in order to produce two different
structures. It is found only in angiosperm s.
In angiosperms, the pollen tube bursts open
in one of the two synergids to release the
two male gam etes. One m ale gam ete fuses
with the egg or oosphere to form a diploid
zygote or oospore. It is called g enerative
fertilizatio n . The second m ale gam ete
descends down and fuses with the diploid
secondary nucleus of the central cell to form
a triploid primary endosperm cell. It is known
as vegetative fertilization. Thus, after double
fertilization, a mature angiospermous ovule
contains one diploid cell (zygote) and one
triploid cell (endosperm). The haploid cells
of the ovule such as antipodals and synergids
degenerate after fertilization.
137. (a ): Transgenic plants or genetically modified
(GM) crops are those plants in which a foreign
gene has been introduced and integrated into
the host DNA via recombinant DNA technology.
The transfer or introduction of a foreign gene
results in the production of desirable traits
like d isease resistan ce, insect resistan ce,
herbicid e resistan ce, etc.
138. (c) : The palindromes in DNA are base pair
sequences that are the sam e when read
forward (left to right) or backward (right to
left) from a central axis of sym m etry. The
follow ing sequence reads the sam e on the
two strands in 5' 3' direction. This is also
true when we read in the 3' —» 5' direction.

139. (c) : P resence o f p h o to resp iration is
considered as a w astefu l and energy
consum ing p rocess in crop plants w hich
ultimately leads to reduction in final yield of
crops. It is estim ated that during C3
photosynthesis, upto 50% of the C 0 2 fixed may
have to pass through ph oto resp irato ry
p rocess, thereby resulting in con sid erable
decrease in photosynthetic productivity. In
C3 plants, there is little loss of photosynthetic
activity on account of photorespiration which
is absent in C4 plants and hence they have
better productivity.
140. (c) : O xytocin is released by p o sterior
pituitary. Vasopressin decreases the amount
of urine by increasing reabsorption of water
from DCT and co llectin g tubules. It also
stim ulates the contraction of w alls of blood
vessels, thereby raising the blood pressure.
Glucagon stim ulates liver to convert stored
glycogen into glucose and thus raises the
blood sugar level. Thymus releases thymosin
which aids in proliferation of T-Iymphocytes.
141. (d) : Aspergillus tiigcr carries out fermentation
to form citric acid . Fungus Trichocicrma
polysporum produces cy clo sp o rin through
ferm en tative activ ity . C yclo sp o rin -A has
antifungal, anti-inflam m atory and immuno­
suppressive properties. Snccharomyces cerevisiae
(b ak er’s yeast/brew er’s yeast) is used in
production of bread/alcohol. M ethanogenic
bacteria carry out m icrobial decom position
of organic m atter and aids in gobar gas

143. (a) : Parietal cells (or oxyntic cells) secrete
hydrochloric acid (HC1) and Castle's intrinsic
factor. C hief cells (or peptic cells) secrete
gastric digestive enzymes as proenzymes —
pepsinogen and prorennin. HC1 helps in
converting pepsinogen to pepsin. Goblet cells
secrete mucus which helps to neutralise acid
in stomach and protects stomach wall against
HC1 action.
144. (d) : In fam ily A, if both the p aren ts are

homozygous recessive, then both should be
diseased and should have 100% diseased
progeny. In fam ily B, if both parents are
homozygous dominant, they would not have
got the recessiv e d isease in first place. In
family B, if both are.heterozygous recessive,
then also they would not have got the disease,
neither 80% of progeny would be diseased.
145. (c) Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed
in PCT by secondary active transport. Water,
sodium and chloride ions are reabsorbed in
DCT. It is perm eable to water. M axim um
reabsorp tion tak es p lace w ithin the PCT.
Humans are ureotelic and excrete out 25-30
gm of urea per day.
146. (b): Inbreeding leads to in crease in
homozygosity. This, in recessive alleles, may
cause expression of harm ful effects. Also,
inbreeding depression may lead to loss of
fitness in progenies, thus decreasing
productivity in some cases.

polypeptid e chains and four haem groups
attached to it or 4 atoms of iron in ferrous

of oxygen to form oxyhaem oglobin.
152. (c): Nereis is classified under Phylum Annelida.
It is a unisexual annelid and its reproductive
phase is called Heteronereis. It is usually called
clam worm or sand worm or rag worm which
is found on the sea shore in the tubular
burrow s. Except the peristom ium (first
segm ent) and la st anal segm ent, each
segm ent bears laterally one pair of fleshy
projections, the parapodia, used in swimming.
153. (d) : The yearly growth of secondary xylem is
distinct in the area which experiences two
seasons, one favourable (spring or rainy
season) and the other unfavourable (autumn,
winter and dry summer). The wood formed in
a single year consists of two types of wood,
spring wood and autumn wood. The spring or
early wood is much wider than the autumn or
late wood. It is lighter in colour and of lower
density. Spring wood consists of larger and
wider xylem elements. The autumn or late wood
is dark coloured and of higher density. It
contains com pactly arranged sm aller and
narrower elements which have comparatively
thicker walls. In autumn wood, tracheids and
fibres are more abundant than those found in
the spring wood.
154. (a) : Both mitochondria and chloroplast are
semi-autonomous organelles as they possess
their own DNA, RNA and 70S ribosomes to have
sufficient functional independence from cellular
machinery. Chloroplasts DNA is bigger than
m itochondrial DNA. However, genetic
information contained in these DNAs is limited.
DNA is naked (without histone proteins) in both.
155. (a) : Blood is the medium of transport of 0 2 and
C 0 2- Nearly 20-25% of C 0 2 is transported by
RBCs as carbaminohaemoglobin whereas 70%
of it is carried as bicarbonate through plasma.
About 7% of C 0 2 is carried in dissolved state
through plasma. The largest fraction of C 0 2 is
converted to bicarbonate ions (HCO"3) and
transported in plasma. When C 0 2 diffuses into
the RBCs, it com bines with H20 , form ing
carbonic acid (H2C 0 3). H2C 0 3 is unstable and
quickly d issociates into hydrogen ions and
bicarbonate ions.
156. ( b ) : Options (a), (b), (c) and (d) show neutrophil,
basophil, eosinophil and monocyte respectively.
Neutrophils are the most abundant cells (60-65%)
of the total WBCs and basophils are the least
(0.5 - 1%) am ong them. N eutrophils and
 monocytes (6 - 8%) are phagocytic cells. Which
destroy foreign organisms entering the body.
Basophils secrete histamine, serotonin, heparin,
etc. and are involved in inflammatory reactions.
Eosinophils (2 - 3%) resist infections and are also
associated with allergic reactions.
157. (c) : Nucleus contains nucleoli and chromatin
network. Chromatin contains DNA and some
basic proteins called histones, som e non­
histone proteins and also RNA.

decline in dissolved oxygen downstream from
the point of sewage discharge, and biological
oxygen demand (BOD) would increase.
Presence of large amount of nutrients in water
causes excessive growth of planktonic (free-
floating) algae, called algal bloom. Algal bloom
causes deterioration of water quality and fish
mortality.
159. (b): Auxins prom ote root in itiatio n at a
concentration which otherwise is inhibitory for
growth of intact root. Auxins are often
employed for inducing flowering in litchi and
pineapple. Application of auxins to unpollinated
pistils make them develop into seedless fruits or 164. (b): Pulse is the rhythm ic con traction and

160.(c): Secondary air pollutants are photochemically
produced from primary pollutants and are thus
called photochem ical oxid an ts. Ozone,
peroxyacyl nitrates, aldehydes and phenols are
produced due to photochem ical reaction s
betw een nitrogen oxid es and unsaturated
hydrocarbons.
161. (b): The earthw orm s are bisexual or
herm aphrodite or m onoecious and
protandrous. The self-fertilization is not possible
in the earthw orm because of the relative
position of openings of m ale and fem ale
reproductive organs, hence cross fertilization
takes place.
During mating, two worms attach themselves
with their ventral surfaces and become opposed
to each other in opposite direction to exchange
packets of sperm s called sperm atophores.
Mature sperm and egg cells and nutritive fluid
are deposited in cocoons, produced by the gland
cells of cli tell urn. The ova (eggs) are fertilized by
the sperm cells within the cocoon which then slips
off the worm and is deposited in or on the soil.
The cocoon holds the worm embryos. After about
j 3 weeks, each cocoon produces two to twenty
baby worms with an average of four.
162. (a): In arithmetic growth, following mitotic cell
division, only one daughter cell continues to
divide w hile the other d ifferen tia tes and
matures. The simplest expression of arithmetic
growth is exemplified by a root elongating at a
constant rate. On plotting the length of the organ
against time, a linear curve is obtained.

intestine is the principal organ for absorption
of nutrients. The digestion is completed here
and the final products of digestion such as
glucose, fructose, fatty acids, glycerol and
amino acids are absorbed through the mucosa
into the blood stream and lymph. Absorption
of water, single sugars and alcohol, etc. takes
place in stomach. In larger intestine, absorption
of water, some minerals and drugs takes place.
relaxation in the aorta and its main arteries. It
is a regular jerk of an artery. The pulse rate is
exactly the same as the heart rate because an
artery pulses every time the heart beats. Pulse
is usually taken on the radial artery in the wrist
but it can be taken on any artery that flows
near enough to the surface of the body to be
felt. The heart beat o rig in ates from the
sinoatrial node (SA Node) - pacemaker, which
lies in the wall of the right atrium near the
opening of the superior vena cava. The SA node
is a mass of neurom uscular tissue. Another
m ass of neurom uscular tissue, the
atrioventricular node (AV node) is situated in
the wall of the right atrium. The AV node picks
up the w ave of co n tractio n p ropagated by
SA node. A m ass of specialized fibres, the
bundle of His, originates from the AV node.
The bundle of His divides into two branches,
one going to each ven tricle. W ithin the

bundle of His divides into a network of fine fibres
called the Purkinje fibres. The bundle of His and
the Purkinje fibres convey impulse of contraction
from the AV node to the myocardium of the
ventricles.
165. (a): One of the hormones released by the placenta
is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This
hormone is secreted by the trophoblast cells even
b efore they becom e the chorion, and is the
hormone assayed in the pregnancy test. Because
its action is almost identical to that of luteinizing
horm one (LH), hCG m aintains the m other's
corpus luteum. The corpus luteum, in turn,
continues to secrete oestrogens and progesterone,
thereby preventing menstruation and further
ovulations. At around 10lKweek, the secretion of
hum an ch o rio n ic gonad otropin (hCG) by
p lacenta declines, and the corpus luteum
regresses as a result. However, menstruation
does not occur because placenta itself secretes
oestrogens and progesterone. In fact, the
amounts of these two hormones secreted by
the placenta far exceed the amounts that are
ever secreted by the ovaries. The high levels
of oestrogens and progesterone in the blood
during pregnancy continue to inh ibit the
release of FSH and LH, thereby preventing
ovulation. They also help maintain the uterus and
eventually prepare it for labor and delivery, and
they stimulate the development of the mammary
glands in the preparation for lactation after
delivery.
166. (c): A lexander Flem ing w hile w orking on
Staphylococci bacteria, once observed a mould
growing in one of his unwashed culture plates
around which Staphylococci could not grow. He
found out that it was due to a chemical produced
by the mould and he named it Penicillin after
the mould PeniciUiutn notatum. However, its full
p otential as an effectiv e an tib io tic was
established much later by Ernest Chain and
Howard Florey.
167. (d): Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is used for
commercial production of ethanol. A bioactive
molecule, cyclosporin A which is used as an
immunosuppressive agent in organ-transplant
patients, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma
polysporum.
be the most primitive type of stele. It consists of
a solid core of xylem surrounded by the cylinder
of phloem, enclosing no pith. All other types of
steles have evolved from it in the course of
evolutionary specialization. Protosteles may be
found in Selaginella, Lycopodium, Glcichenia and
Lygodium among present day forms.
169. (b): The human digestive system carries about
trillions of microorganisms colonising the gut
m aking an am azing ecosystem that live
together in harmony. In this context human
intestine is said to be rich in flora and fauna.
The microorganisms perform a host of useful
functions, such as fermenting unused energy
su bstrates, training the im m une system ,
preventing grow th of harm ful, pathogenic
bacteria, regulating the developm ent of the
gut, producing vitamins for the host (such as
biotin and vitamin K), and producing hormones
to direct the host to store fats.
Fish culture is sometimes done in combination
with a rice crop, so that fish are grown in the
water in the paddy field. Thus, a rice field is an
example of ecosystem inhabiting both plants
and animals.

171. (b): The world is facing accelerated rates of species
extinctions, largely due to human interference.
There are four major causes - (i) habitat loss
and fragmentation, (ii) over-exploitation, (iii)
alien species invasions and (iv) co-extinctions.
Non-native of alien species are often introduced
inad vertently for their econom ic and other
uses. They often become invasive and drive
away the local species. The exotic species are
•
considered to be second m ajor cause of
extinction of species (the first being habitat
destruction).
172. (b): Meiosis consists of two divisions, meiosis I
and meiosis II. The first division of meiosis is
called heterotypic or reduction division. During
this division the number of chromosomes is
reduced to half. The two chrom atid s of a
chromosome become genetically different due to
crossing over. These chromatids are separated in
716
the second division of m eiosis. The second
m eiotic division is known as hom otypic or
equational division, because the chromosome
number remains the same as produced after the
end of the first division. Though meiosis II is
similar to mitosis, meiosis II is not mitosis because
(i) it always occurs in haploid cells, (ii) it is not
preceded by DNA rep lication , (iii) the two
chromatids of a chromosome are often dissimilar,
(iv) the daughter cells formed after meiosis II are
neither similar to each other nor similar to the
parent cell.
173. (c): Periodic abstinence is a natural method of birth
control in which the couples avoid or abstain from
coitus (copulation or intercourse) from day 10 to
17 of the menstrual cycle because ovulation can
occur during this period. The chances of
fertilization are very high during this period,
therefore, it is called the fertile period.
174. (b): The cerebrum is the largest and most complex
of all the parts of the human brain. It consists of
left and right hemispheres connected by a large
bundle of myelinated fibres, the corpus callosum.
Association areas interpret the input, store the
input and initiate a response in light of similar
past experience. Thus, the association areas are
involved in memory, learning and reasoning.
175. (d): Sickle cell anaemia is an autosomal recessive
hereditary disorder in which the erythrocytes
become sickle-shaped under oxygen deficiency
as during strenuous exercise and at high
altitudes. The disorder or disease is caused by
the formation of an abnormal haemoglobin called !
haemoglobin-S. As found out by Ingram (1958),
haem oglobin-S d iffers from norm al
haem oglobin-A in only one amino acid —6th
amino acid of (5-chain, glutamic acid, is replaced
by valine due to substitution (transversion) of T
by A in the second position of the triplet codon
(CTC) which is changed to CAC in the 15-
haemoglobin gene situated on chromosome 11.
176. (a ): The efficiency of C4 plants is more than those I
of C3 plants because (i) C., plants a re more efficient j
in picking up C 0 2 even when it is found in low j
concentration because of the high affinity of PEP, i
(ii) concentric arrangement of mesophyll cells j
produces a smaller area in relation to volume for j
better utilization of available water and reduce I
j the intensity of solar radiations, (iii) they can
j tolerate excess salts because of the presence of
j organic acids, (iv) normal oxygen concentration
j is not inhibitory for the growth in contrast to C3
j plants, (v) they are adapted to high temperature
j
and intense radiation of tropics.

j 177. ( a ) : The cattles, buffaloes, goats, sheep, deer and
j camels are herbivorous animals that feed on plant
j leaves, twigs, etc. Their stomach consists of 4
j cham bers: rumen (paunch), reticulum
j (honeycom b), om asum (p salteriu m ) and
\
j abom asum (rennet). In the rum en, food
j undergoes mechanical and chemical breakdown.
j Mechanical breakdown results from thorough

j and aided by cornified surface of villi. Chemical
I breakdow n is caused by sy m b io tic m icro ­
j organisms bacteria such as Ruminococctts and
ciliate such as Entodinium caudatum. These
micoorganisms live as symbionts in the rumen
and reticulum of the stomach of the ruminants
{e.g., cows and bu ffalo es) and in the large
j intestine of other herbivorous mammals {e.g.,
j horses and donkeys) and release enzym es,
cellulases, which act on cellulose and simplify it
to short-chain fatty acids. C ellulose is not
digested in human being.
178. (b) : The secondary structure of proteins is the
developm ent of new stearic relationships of
amino acids present in the linear sequence inside
the polypeptides. Some of the new relationship
are of regular nature and give periodicity to the
structure. There are three types of secondary
structures - a-helix, (5-pleated and
collagen helix. They are held in a particular
structure due hydrogen bonds between oxygen
of carboxylic group (-CO group) of one amino
acid residue and >NH group of another amino
acid.
The protein enzymes have active sites which are
capable of attracting and holding particular
substrate molecules by is specific charge, size and
shape so as to allow the chemical change. An
active site consists of a few amino acids and their
side groups which are brought together in a
particular fashion due to secondary and tertiary
Solutions 2013
folding of a protein molecule and its association
with the cofactor, if any. Tertiary structure is
bending and folding of various types to form
spheres, rods or fibres. It further brings new
stearic relationships of amino acids specially
those which are far apart in the linear sequence.
Tertiary structure is stabilized by several types
of bonds— hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, van der
Waal’s interactions, covalent bonds, hydrophobic
bonds. Tertiary structure gives the protein a three
dimensional conformation.
179. (c ) : Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids. Its
side chain is an amide formed by replacing the
surface carries no net electrical charge. The
isoelectric point (pH) of glutamine is 5.65.
180. (d ): Principal organ for digestion and absorption
for nutrients is small intestine. Small intestine is
distinguishable into three regions, a 'U' shaped
duodenum, a long coiled middle portion jejunum
and a highly coiled ileum. Mainly iron, calcium
and amino acids are absorbed in duodenum; fatty
acids, glycerol, monosaccharides and vitamins
are absorbed in jejunum , and absorption of
vitamin B12, bile salts and water occur in ileum.
