Multiple Choice QuestionsBarr body is found in the cytoplasm during
interphase in cell of female mammal
interphase in cell of male mammal
prophase in cell of female mammal
prophase in cell of male mammal
Which of these are most widely used in genetic engineering?
Plastid
Plasmid
Mitochondrion
Ribosome
B.
Plasmid
Plasmids are autonomous elements, whose genomes exist in the cell as the extra chromosomal unit. These are found in bacteria. They are used as cloning vectors due to their increased yield potential.
Plastids are semi autonomous cell organelles. They take part in storage and synthesis of organic compounds.
Mitochondria are called the power houses of the cell as they are the centres of Kreb's cycle of respiration liberating the maximum amount of energy.
Ribosomes are sub- microscopic cell organelles manufacturing protein.
Assertion : Plasma membrane is exceedingly thin and not visible as a separate layer.
Reason : It appears merely as a surface layer of cytoplasm.
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explantion of Assertion
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
If Assertion is false but Reason is true
