Question : A DNA segment has a total of 1000 nucleotides, out of which 240 are adenine containing nucleotides. How many pyrimidine bases this DNA segment possess?

Answer»

Solution :Pyrimidine=500.
According to Chargaff's RULE,
A=T
A=240, hence T=240,
A+T=240+240=480
So, G+C=1000-480=520.
G=C, THEREFORE, C=520/2=260.
THUS, pyrimidine=C+T=260+240=500.

ANSWER :C
21861.

Question : A dikaryon is formed when (A) Meiosis is arrested (B) the two haploid cells do not fuse immediately (C) cytoplasm does not fuse (D) None of the above

Answer»

MEIOSIS is arrested 
the two haploid cells do not fuse immediately 
cytoplasm does not fuse 
None of the above 

Solution :Dikaryon is a stage/PHASE of a CELL, in which, there are two nuclei. This condition arises, if fusion of cytoplasm (plasmogamy) is not immediately followed by fusion of nuclei (karyogamy). Karyogamy is delayed, it OCCURS just before meiosis. Dikaryon occurs in stage intervening between plasmogamy and karyogamy. Such cells are CALLED dikaryotic cells and the phase is called dikaryophase.

Answer»

moncot root
monocot stem
dicot root
dicot stem

Solution :VASCULAR bundles which contains both XYLEM and phloem are CALLED conjoint vascular bundles contain both xylem, phloem and a strip of vascular cambium (between phloem and xylem of each vascular bundle) called intrafascicular (or fascicular) cambium. It produces secondary TISSUES. such vascular bundles are discribed as OPEN because the original or primary phloem and xylem separate on the production of secondary tissues by vascular cambium. thus conjoint and open vascular bundles will be observe in dicot stem.
