A biologist was given two animal cell populations, X and Y. When he subjected them to culturing under similar conditions of availability of nutrients, growth factors and substratum he found the growth of sample X stopped after the available substratum was covered while the growth of sample Y continued so that multilayered mass was formed. The cells in sample X and Y respectively, are most likely to be: (a) epithelial cells and leucocytes (b) germinal cells and muscle cells (c) normal cells and cancer cells (d) diploid cells and polyploid cells |
Answer» (c) normal cells and cancer cells |

In a experiment, a person was subjected to perform 90 minutes leg extension exercise once a day for five days. Every day only the left leg was exercised while other was kept at rest. on the fifth day, concentrations of different mRNAs were measured from muscles of both legs, towards the end of the exercise session. Three major types of mRNAs, P, Q and R were found to show distinct variations in levels:The following are the possible genes from which these mRNAs are synthesised; I. Gene responsible to initiate cell division II. Stress response gene III. Mitochondrial protein synthesis gene IV. Metabolic priority gene P, Q and R respectively must be for mRNAs of (a) II, IV and III (b) I, II and IV (c) II, IV and I (d) IV, II and I |
Answer» (a) II, IV and III |

A student designs an experiment to check whether rats have UV vision. Design I: Food is kept in a closed room with only UV light and rat is let in. The rat goes towards the food. Design II. A wooden model of predator is kept in closed rooms with only UV light and rat is let in. The rat tries to run away. Design III. A female rat is kept in closed room with only UV light and male rat is let in. The male rat chases the female. Which of the above experiments can conclusively give information about the rat's vision in UV spectrum? (a) Design I only (b) Design II only (c) Design I and II only (d) Design I, II and III |
Answer» (b) Design II only |
