Which of the following is required as inducer(s) for the expression of Lac operon?
Answer: C. Lactose
Why: Lactose (via its isomer allolactose) binds the repressor and switches the lac operon on; glucose and galactose are not inducers.
One of the major components of cell wall of most fungi is
Answer: A. Chitin
Why: Fungal cell walls are made mainly of chitin (a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine) and other polysaccharides. The keyed answer is option 1.
Which one of the following cell organelles is enclosed by a single membrane?
Answer: C. Lysosomes
Why: Mitochondria, chloroplasts and the nucleus have double membranes; lysosomes are bounded by a single membrane.
Which type of tissue correctly matches with its location? Tissue: (a) Smooth muscle; (b) Areolar tissue; (c) Transitional epithelium; (d) Cuboidal epithelium. Location: (a) Wall of intestine; (b) Tendons; (c) Tip nose; (d) Lining of stomach.
Answer: A. Smooth muscle - Wall of intestine
Why: Smooth muscle forms the involuntary muscular wall of the intestine. Tendons are dense regular connective tissue, tip of nose has cartilage, and the stomach lining is columnar epithelium.
Specialised epidermal cells surrounding the guard cells are called
Answer: B. Subsidiary cells
Why: The epidermal cells adjacent to guard cells that are modified in structure are the subsidiary cells; bulliform cells are large motor cells of grass leaves and lenticels are bark pores.
A siren emitting a sound of frequency 800 Hz moves away from an observer towards a cliff at a speed of 15 ms⁻¹. Then, the frequency of sound that the observer hears in the echo reflected from the cliff is: (Take velocity of sound in air = 330 ms⁻¹)
Answer: C. 838 Hz
Why: The cliff receives and reflects the sound from a source approaching it, so f = 800 × 330/(330 − 15) ≈ 838 Hz.
A body of mass 1 kg begins to move under the action of a time dependent force F = (2t î + 3t² ĵ) N, where î and ĵ are unit vectors along x and y axis. What power will be developed by the force at the time t?
Answer: D. (2t³ + 3t⁵) W
Why: With m = 1 kg, a = F, so v = ∫F dt = t² î + t³ ĵ. Power = F·v = 2t·t² + 3t²·t³ = (2t³ + 3t⁵) W.
Which of the following compounds shall not produced propene by reaction with HBr followed by elimination or direct only elimination reaction ?
Answer: A. H₂C=C=O
Why: Ketene adds HBr to give acetyl bromide, which cannot eliminate to propene; 1-bromopropane eliminates directly to propene and cyclopropane opens with HBr to 1-bromopropane and then eliminates, so only (1) fails.
Which one of the following is incorrect for ideal solution ?
Answer: B. ΔG_mix = 0
Why: An ideal solution has ΔH_mix = 0, ΔV_mix = 0 and obeys Raoult's law, but mixing is spontaneous with ΔS_mix > 0, so ΔG_mix is negative, not zero.
AlF₃ is soluble in HF only in presence of KF. It is due to the formation of :
Answer: D. K₃[AlF₆]
Why: KF supplies extra F⁻ which lets AlF₃ form the soluble complex K₃[AlF₆] (hexafluoroaluminate).
