    CELL: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

    1) What do you mean by plasmids? What role do they play in bacteria?


    2) What are histones? What role do they play?
    3) What does “S” stand for in the 70S and 80S ribosome?
    4) Who has given fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane? Why it has been named
    so?
    5) What is the significance of vacuole in a plant cell? Name the membrane lining vacuole.
    6) Why are mitochondria and chloroplast considered to be semi-autonomous cell
    organelles? Give any two reasons.
    7) Differentiate among three types of leucoplast.
    8) Draw structural diagram of four types of chromosomes, based on the position of
    centromere.
    9) Describe 9 + 2 arrangement in cilia or flagella. Write any two differences between cilia
    and flagella.
    10) Describe the structural modifications in prokaryotes w.r.t their cell membrane.

    CELL CYCLE AND CELL DIVISION

    1) A bivalent of meiosis-I consists of

    a) Two chromatids and one centromere


    b) Two chromatids and two centromere
    c) Four chromatids and two centromere
    d) Four chromatids and four centromere

    2) Cells which are not dividing are likely to be at

    a) G1
    b) G2
    c) Go
    d) S phase

    3) Write the phases of the cell cycle against each of the events

    a) The disintegration of the nuclear membrane

    b) The appearance of the nucleolus

    c) Division of centromere

    d) Replication of DNA

    4) How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animal cells?

    5) Given that the average duplication time of E. coli is 20 minutes, how much time will two E. coli
    cells take to become 32 cells?

    6) Label the diagram and also determine the stage at which this structure is visible.
    7) While examining the mitotic stage in a tissue, one finds some cells with 16
    chromosomes and some with 32 chromosomes. What possible reasons could you assign to this
    difference in chromosome number? Do you think cells with 16 chromosomes could have arisen
    from cells with 32 chromosomes or vice versa?

    8) Name a cell that is found arrested in diplotene stage for months and years.

    9) Differentiate between Anaphase and Anaphase- I.

    10) What is the role of kinetochore in cell division?

    options. Choose and write appropriately against each.

    a) Cotton fibre b) Exoskeleton of Cockroach c) Liver d) Peeled Potato

    4) An amino acid under certain conditions would have both positive and negative charges
    simultaneously in the same molecule. Such a form of amino acid is called
    (a) Positively charged form (b) Negatively charged form
    (c) Neutral form (d) Zwitterionic form. Draw its structure.
    5) Why amino acids are called substituted methane?
