483. Carrier organism refers to an individual which species is important in determining its
302
phylogeny and taxonomy.
Reason (R) : The number of chromosomes is
constant for a species.
491. Assertion (A) : The lysosomes form a built in
mechanism of the cell and enable the cell to
adopt metabolically to the rapidly changing
conditions of food supply.
Reason (R) : During starvation, lysosomes
become autophagic vacuoles, which digest
itself and release energy.
492. Assertion (A): The cell is defined as the basic
unit of life.
Reason (R) : The cell is capable of self­
reproduction in a medium free of other living
systems.
493. Assertion (A): The chromosomes serve as the
carrier of genes from one generation to another.
Reason (R) : Each chromonema is a double
helical single molecule of DNA.
494. Assertion (A): The Brownian movement is the
peculiarity of protoplasm, a colloidal solution.
Reason (R): The moving water molecules in a
colloidal solution, strike with the colloidal
molecules and provide motion to them.
495. Assertion (A) : RNA plays a very significant
role in protein synthesis.
Reason (R) : Genetic information from the
nucleus to the site of protein synthesis is carried
by RNA.
496. Assertion (A): Mitochondria get concentrated
around the spindle during cell division.
Reason (R): Mitochondria provides energy to
the cells for active metabolic functions.
497. Assertion (A): A ribosome of eukaryotic cell
cytoplasm consists of 50S and 30S subunits.
Reason (R): Ribosomes are the cell organelles
which are universally present in eukaryotic
cells.
498. Assertion (A) : The DNA transcription
machinery of eukaryotes is considerably more
complex.
Reason (R) : The nuclear material in
prokaryotes is concentrated as one or more
gonophores.
499. Assertion (A): Mitochondria exhibit a type of
cytoplasmic inheritance.
Reason (R): The mitochondrial DNA behaves
like a chromosome and duplicates in the usual
manner.
500. Assertion (A) : The cell has at least 20
QUESTION BANK
aminoacyl synthetase enzymes for the
attachment with amino acids.
Reason (R) : Each amino acid before its
attachment with its specific tRNA is activated
by a specific activating enzyme.
501. Assertion (A): In those cells engaged in active
secretion, as in pancreas, the golgi complex is
well developed.
Reason (R) : The zymogen granules of the
Golgi complex, which contain protein, migrate
to the cell apex and discharge their contents
into the pancreatic duct.
502. Assertion (A): In protein synthesis the peptide
chain always grows in a sequence from the
amino group towards the carboxyl group.
Reason (R) : The amino group becomes
inactive and does not further react with any
other amino acids.
503. Assertion (A): The plasma membrane allows
only water and no solute particles to pass
through it.
Reason (R) : Plasma membrane is semi-
permeable in nature.
504. Assertion (A): The adipose tissues have only
smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Reason (R): The smooth type of endoplasmic
reticulum is related with the synthesis and
metabolism of lipids.
505. Assertion (A) : The sex chromosomes of the
animals have been found rich in hetero­
chromatin.
Reason (R) : The heterochromatin of the
chromosomes is considered as a genetically
inert substance.
506. Assertion (A) : The cilia and flagella require
energy to serve many physiological processes
of the cell as locomotion, circulation, excretion,
etc.
Reason (R) : The nine outer filaments of a
cilium or flagellum are the seat of ATP splitting.
507. Assertion (A): Ribosomal RNA constitute the
largest part of the total cellular RNA and found
primarily in the ribosomes.
Reason (R) : In eukaryotic cells the 18S and
28S or RNA molecules are transcribed by
rDNA of nucleolar organizer in the nucleolus.
508. Assertion (A) : The lysosomes are numerous
and large in cells such as macrophages
performing special digestive functions.
Reason (R): The lysosomes are round vacuolar
