1. ASSERTION : If the species-area relationships are analysed among very large areas like the entire continents, the value of Z i.e., slope of line lies in the range of 0.1 to 0.2. REASON : The value of Z i.e., slope of line of species area relationships lies in the range of 0.6 to 1.2 when analysis is done among small areas.
Correct!
Wrong!
2. ASSERTION : GM crops can affect human health by causing allergic reactions. REASON : Transgenes in commercial crops can endanger native species e.g., the Bt toxin gene expressed in pollen might endanger pollinators like honeybees.
Correct!
Wrong!
3. ASSERTION : Restriction enzymes cut the strand of DNA to produce sticky ends. REASON : Stickiness of the ends facilitates the action of the enzyme DNA polymerase.
Correct!
Wrong!
4. ASSERTION : Mycorrhiza is a mutually beneficial association of fungus with the roots of higher plants. REASON : Mycorrhizal association of plant and fungus improve taste and shine of plant products.
Correct!
Wrong!
5. ASSERTION : Mast cells in the human body release excessive amounts of inflammatory chemicals which cause allergic reactions. REASON : Allergens in the environment on reaching human body stimulate mast cells in certain individuals.
Correct!
Wrong!
6. ASSERTION : Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm. REASON : mRNA is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes and amino acids are available for protein synthesis.
Correct!
Wrong!
7. ASSERTION : Lenticels are produced by phellogen. REASON : Lenticels are aerating pores in the bark.
Correct!
Wrong!
8. ASSERTION : Sister chromatids belong to the same chromosome. REASON : Enzyme unwindase separates chromatid segments.
Correct!
Wrong!
9. ASSERTION : Nitrosomonas converts nitrites to nitrates. REASON : Nitrite ions are reduced to nitrates by Nitrosomonas in the presence of nitrate reductase.
Correct!
Wrong!
