36. What may complicate the process of gene cloning within the cell?
[A] One recognition site
[B] Foreign DNA
[C] More than one recognition site
[D] Antibody
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [More than one recognition site]
Notes:
The recognition site is the sequence of DNA where the DNA is cleaved. The presence of more than one recognition site can result in multiple cuts within the DNA leading to DNA fragmentation. This would complicate the process of gene cloning.
37. The sexual reproductive organs of aspergillus are
[A] Antheridium and Oogonium
[B] Spermatium and Ascogonium
[C] Spermatium and Oogonium
[D] Antheridium and Ascogonium
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Antheridium and Ascogonium]
Notes:
Sexual reproduction in Aspergillus is rare and takes place in favourable conditions. Sex organs are produced on the same mycelium which has produced conidia. Male organs are called Antheridium or Pollinoduim and female are called archicarp or Ascogonium. Female organs develop as a branch of hypha. The antheridium curves round and bend towards the apex of archicarp as a result of which they become spirally coiled and their tips get fused.
38. Which of the following protein is found in nails?
[A] Keratin
[B] Histone
[C] Actin
[D] Elastin
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Keratin]
Notes:

39. In male sharks, Claspers are found attached to
____:
[A] Anal fin
[B] Ventral fin
[C] Pectoral fin
[D] Pelvic fin
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Pelvic fin]
Notes:
Claspers are organs found in male elasmobranchs. Each male has two claspers. They are located along the inner side of the shark or ray’s pelvic fin and are used in reproduction. During mating, the male deposits his sperm into the female’s cloaca (the opening that serves as the entrance to the uterus, intestine and urinary tract) via grooves that lie in the upper side of the claspers.
40. What is the Normal Blood Volume in human adult?
[A] 1 litre
[B] 3 litre
[C] 5 litre
[D] 7 litre
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [5 litre]
Notes:
The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 4-5 to 5 litres, which is composed of plasma and several kinds of cells. By volume, the red blood cells constitute about 45% of whole blood, the plasma about 54.3%, and white cells about 0.7%.
