Bioassay is a testing of biological activity like growth response of a substance by employing plant part. Avena curvature test is a bioassay for examining the activity of auxins. It is based upon experiments of Went. 10° curvature is produced by auxin concentration of150 g/lit at 250C and 90% relative humidity. It can measure auxin upto 300g/litre. Auxin from shoot tip or any other plant organ is allowed to diffuse in a standard size agar block. 15- 30 mm long oat coleoptile grown in dark is held vertically over water. 1 mm tip of colcoptile is removed without injuring the primary leaf. After 3 hours a second decapitation is carried out for 4mm distance. Primary leaf is now pulled loose and agar block supported against it at the tip of decapitated coleoptile. After 90- 100 mm the coleoptile is found to have bent. The curvature is measured
In the sieve elements, which one of the following is the most likely function of P-proteins
Deposition of callose on sieve plates
Providing energy for active translocation
Autolytic enzymes
Sealing mechanism on wounding
The given figure shows an angiogram of the coronary blood vessel. Which one of the following statements correctly describes, what is being done
It is coronary artery which has a cancerous growth that is being removed.
It is coronary artery which is blocked by a plaque and the same is being cracked.
It is coronary vein in which the defective valves are being opened.
It is coronary vein blocked by a parasite (blood fluke) that is being removed.
In prokaryotes, chromatophores are
specialized granules responsible for colouration of cells
structures responsbile for organizing the shape of the organism
inclusion bodies lying free inside the cells for canying out various metabolic activities
internal membrane systems that may become extensive and complex in photosynthetic bacteria
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.
Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have
vascular bundles arranged in a ring
cambium for secondary growth
vessels with elements arranged end to end
cork cambium
seed plants showing abnormal forms of growth and development
plants described only in fossil state
plants described in the literature but which Bentham and Hooker did not see in original
a few orders which could not be placed satisfactorily in the classification.
Tadpoles of frog can be made to grow as giant sized tadpoles, if they are
administered antithyroid substance like thiourea
administered large amounts of thyroxine
reared on a diet rich in egg yolk
reared on a diet rich in both egg yolk and glucose.
A scion is grafted to a stock. The quality of fruits produced will be determined by the genotype of
stock
scion
both stock and scion
neither stock nor scion.
The function of leghaemoglobin during biological nitrogen fixation in root nodules of legumes is to
convert atmospheric N2 to NH3
convert ammonia to nitrite
transport oxygen for activity of nitrogenase
protect nitrogenase from oxygen
