Thermococcus, Methanococcus and Methanobacterium exemplify
bacteria whose DNA is relaxed or positively supercoiled but which have a cytoskeleton as well as mitochondria
bacteria that contain a cytoskeleton and ribosomes
archaebacteria that contains protein homologous to eukaryotic core histones
archaebacteria that lack any histones resembling those found in eukaryotes but whose DNA is negatively supercoiled
Assertion: Protoplasmic continuity is maintained in perforated septum.
Reason: Usually a small pore remains in the centre of the septum.

Based on cellular mechanisms there are two major types of regeneration found in the animals. Which one of the following is the correct example of the type mentioned?
Morphallaxis - Regeneration of two transversely cut equal pieces of a Hydra into two small Hydras
Epimorphosis - Replacement of old and dead erythrocytes by the new ones
Morphallaxis - Healing up of a wound in the skin
Epimorphosis - Regeneration of crushed and filtered out pieces of a Planaria into as many new Planarians
Myxomycetes are
saprobes or parasites, having mycelia, asexual reproduction by fragmentation, sexual reproduction by fusion of gametes
slimy mass of multinucleate protoplasm, having pseudopodia-like structures for engulfing food, reproduction through fragmentation or zoospores
prokaryotic organisms, cellular or acellular, saprobes or autotrophic, reproduce by binary fission
eukaryotic, single-celled or filamentous, saprobes or autotrophic, asexual reproduction by fusion of two cells or their nuclei.
Electroporation procedure involves
fast passage of food through sieve pores in phloem elements with the help of electric stimulation
opening of stomata! pores during night by artificial light
making transient pores in the cell membrane to introduce gene constructs
purification of saline water with the help of a membrane system
The bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa is useful because of its ability to
transfer genes from one plant to another
decompose a variety of organic compounds
fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil
produce a wide variety of antibiotics
Assertion : The fungi are widespread in distribution and they even live on or inside other plants and animals.
Reason : Fungi are able to grow anywhere on land, water or on other organisms because they have a variety of pigments, including chlorophyll, carotenoids, fucooxanthin and phycoerythrin.
