Q101
Which of the following statements about inclusion bodies is incorrect?
A These are involved in ingestion of food particles
B They lie free in the cytoplasm
C These represent reserve material in cytoplasm
D They are not bound by any membrane
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Inclusion bodies are nuclear or cytoplasmic aggregates which are stainable substances, usually proteins, and formed due to viral multiplication or genetic disorders in human beings these bodies are either intracellular or extracellular abnormalities and they are specific to certain diseases.

These are not involved in ingestion of food particles.

Q102
Which is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in eukaryotic cells?
A Peroxisomes
B Golgi bodies
C Polysomes
D Endoplasmic reticulum
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Golgi bodies are site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in eukaryotic cells.

Q103
The concept of '' Omnis cellula-e cellula '' regarding cell division was first proposed by :
A Schleiden
B Aristotle
C Rudolf Virchow
D Theodore Schwann
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Rudolf Carl Virchow in 1858, gave the concept of '' Omnis cellula-e cellula '' regarding cell division.

This means that all cells arise from pre-existing cells by cell-division.

Q104
Which of the following statements regarding mitochondria is incorrect ?
A Inner membrane is convoluted with infoldings
B Mitochondrial matrix contains single circular DNA molecule and ribosomes
C Outer membrane is permeable to monomers of carbohydrates, fats and proteins
D Enzymes of electron transport are embedded in outer membrane
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

The enzymes required for the ETS are present in the inner matrix only as the elementary particles are embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrial matrix.

Q105
Which of the following pair of organelles does not contains DNA?
A Lysosomes and Vacuoles
B Nuclear envelope and Mitochondria
C Mitochodria and Lysosomes
D Chloroplast and Vacuoles
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Lysosome and vacuoles do not contain DNA.

Q106
Which of the following statements is not correct?
A Lysosomes are membrane bound structures.
B Lysosomes are formed by the process of packaging in the endoplasmic reticulum.
C Lysosomes have numerous hydrolytic enzymes.
D The hydrolytic enzymes of lysosomes are active under acidic pH.
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Lysosomes are not formed by the endoplasmic reticulum.

Instead, they are formed from vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus.

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins, some of which are destined for lysosomes, but the actual formation and packaging of lysosomes occur at the Golgi apparatus.

Q107
Which of the following events does not occur in rough endoplasmic reticulum?
A Cleavage of signal peptide
B Phospholipid synthesis
C Protein folding
D Protein glycosylation
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Phospholipid synthesis does not take place in rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in lipid synthesis.

Q108
The Golgi complex participates in
A activation of amino acid
B fatty acid breakdown
C formation of secretory vesicles
D respiration in bacteria
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids from the ER.

It modifies them, concentrates and packs them into secretory vesicles that are formed by budding off from the trans-Golgi surface.

Q109
Select the incorrect match.
A Allosomes – Sex chromosomes
B Sub-metacentric chromosomes – L-shaped chromosomes
C Lampbrush chromosomes – Diplotene bivalents
D Polytene chromosomes – Oocytes of amphibians
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Polytene chromosomes are found in salivary glands of insects and are also called as salivary chromosomes.

Q110
Which of the following is true for nucleolus?
A It takes part in spindle formation
B Larger nucleoli are present in dividing cells.
C It is a membrane-bound structure.
D It is a site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis.
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

The nucleolus (plural nucleoli) is a large, distinct, spheroidal subcompartment of the nucleus of eukaryote cells that is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and assembly of ribosomal subunits.
