Read the following and answer any four questions from $2(i)$ to $2(v)$ given below: Restriction endonuclease was isolated for the first ti me by W. Arb er in $1962$ in bacteria. Restriction endonucleases cut the DNA duplex at specific points therefore they are also called as molecular scissors or biological scissors. Three types of restriction endonucleases are Type I, Type II and Type III but only Type II restriction endonucleases are used in recombinant DNA technology. Restriction endonuclease EcoR I recognises the base sequence GAATTC in DNA duplex and cut strands between G and A.
  1. Only type II restriction enzymes are used in gene manipulation because
  1. ATP is not required for cleaving.
  2. It consists of three different subunits.
  3. It makes cleavage or cut in both the strands of DNA molecule.
  4. Both (a) and (c).
  1. Which of the following ions are used by restriction endonucleases for restriction?
  1. $Mg^{2+}$ ions
  2. $Mn^{2+}$​​​​​​​ ions
  3. $Na^{2+}$​​​​​​​ ions
  4. $K^{2+}$​​​​​​​ ions
  1. Restriction endonuclease was isolated for the first time in a:
  1. Plant cell.
  2. Animal cell.
  3. Prokaryotic cell.

  1. Restriction endonucleases are also called as molecular or biological scissors because,
  1. They cleave base pairs of DNA only at their terminal ends.
  2. They cleave one or both the strands of DNA.
  3. They act only on single stranded DNA.
  4. None of these.

Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. In our mind, we presume, most of the time, that microbes are always harmful. Microbes are, of course, the causal agents of many infections diseases of plants and animals including humans but they also have lots of beneficial role. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are one of this kind of useful group. These are Gram positive, non-sporulating, either rod-shaped or spherical bacteria. They produce lactic acid in milk products as major metabolic end product of carbohydrate fermentation. LAB are considered as natural fermentors. Lactobacillus is a common LAB which converts lactose sugar of milk into lactic acid, that causes coagulation and partial digestion of milk protein casein. Milk is then changed into curd, yoghurt and cheese. Lactobacillus is also used in probiotics which have potentially beneficial effect on gut ecosystem of humans. Some other probiotic strain used belong to the Genus Bifidobacterium.
  1. Which of the following is not considered as microorganisms?
  1. Bacteriophage.
  2. Streptococcus.
  3. Porphyra.
  4. Staphylococcus.
  1. Select the incorrect option regarding the characteristics of lactic acid bacteria.
  1. They are rod-shaped or spherical.
  2. They are Gram positive.
  3. They take part in carbohydrate fermentation.
  4. They are acid intolerant.
  1. Which of the following is not a lactic acid producing bacteria?
  1. Streptococcus.
  2. Lactococcus.
  3. Saccharomyces.
  4. Enterococcus.
  1. Probiotics are:
  1. Gut friendly live bacteria.
  2. Acid balancing alternated bacteria.
  3. Beneficial amount of dead bacteria.
  4. Gram negative attenuated bacteria.
  1. Assertion: Lactobacillus bacteria do not retain crystal violet stain while staining.
Reason: Lactobacillus have a very thin layer of peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall.
  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
While studying inheritance of characters, a teacher gave the example of inheritance of attached earlobe and hypertrichosis of the ear to her students. A man with attached earlobes and extensive hair on pinna married a woman having free earlobes.
