Which one of the following precedes re-formation of the nuclear envelope during M-phase of the cell Cycle?
Decondensation from chromosome and reassembly of the nuclear lamina
Transcription from chromosome and reassembly of the nuclear lamina
Formation of the contractile ring and formation of the phragmoplast
Formaltion of the contractile ring and transcription from chromosomes
A.
Decondensation from chromosome and reassembly of the nuclear lamina
At telophase stage, nuclear membrane vesicles associate with the surface of individual chromosomes and fuse to reform the nuclear membranes, which partially enclose clusters of chromosomes before coalescing to reform the complete nuclear envelope. During this process, the nuclear pores reassemble and the dephosphorylated reassociate to form the nuclear lamina) One of the lamina proteins (lamina-B) remains with the nuclear membrane fragments throughout mitosis and may help nucleate assembly. After the nucleus reforms, the pores pump in nuclear proteins, the chromosome decondense and RNA synthesis resume, causing the nucleolus to reappear.
The quiescent centre in root meristem serves as a
Site for storage of food, which is utilised during maturation
Reservoir of growth hormones
Reserve for replenishment of damaged cells of the meristem
Region for absorption of water
An example of the competitive inhibition of an enzyme is the inhibition of
Succinic dehydrogenase by malonic acid
Cytochrome oxidase by cyanide
Hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate
Carbonic anhydrase by carbon dioxide
In prokaryotes, chromatophores are
Specialised granules responsible for the colouration of cells
Structures responsible for organising the shape of the organism
Inclusion bodies lying free inside the cells for carrying out various metabolic activities
Internal membrane systems that may become extensive and complex in photosynthetic bacteria
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 off mechanism on wounding
Viruses that infect bacterial multiplication and cause their lysis, are called

Cell wall development
Which one of the following pairs, is not correctly matched?

IAA - Cell wall elongation
Two cells A and B are contiguous. Cell A has osmotic pressure 10 atm, turgor pressure-7 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 3 atm. Cell B has osmotic pressure 8 atm, turgor pressure 3 atm and diffusion pressure deficit 5 atm. The result will be
Movement of water from cell B to A
No movement of water
The equilibrium between the two
Movement of water from cell A to B
