Q. 1 During cell growth, DNA synthesis takes place in
Option 1:
S Phase
Option 2:
G1 phase
Option 3:
G2 phase
Option 4:
M phase
Correct Answer:
S Phase
Solution:
As we have learnt in
Following G1, the cell enters the S stage, when DNA synthesis or replication occurs.
At the beginning of the S stage, each chromosome is composed of one DNA double helix.
Following DNA replication, each chromosome is composed of two identical DNA double helix molecules.
www.careers360.com 36
Back to Index
Each double helix is called a chromatid.
Another way of expressing these events is to say that DNA replication has resulted in duplicated
chromosomes, and the two chromatids will remain attached until they are separated during mitosis.
If the initial amount of DNA is denoted as 2C then it increases to 4C.
However, there is no increase in the chromosome number; if the cell had diploid or 2n number of
chromosomes at G1, even after S phase the number of chromosomes remains the same, i.e., 2n.
Option 1:
Spindle fibers attach to centromere of chromosomes
Option 2:

Q. 6
Based on equation , certain conclusions are written. Which
Option 1:
For n = 1, the electron has more negative energy that it does for n = 6 which means that the electron
is more loosely bound in the smallest allowed orbit.
Option 2:
The negative sign in equation simply means that the energy of an electron bound to the nucleus is
lower than it would be if the electrons were at the infinite distance from the nucleus.
Option 3:
Larger the value of n, the larger is the orbit radius.
Option 4:
The equation can be used to calculate the change in energy when the electron changes orbit.
Correct Answer:
For n = 1, the electron has more negative energy that it does for n = 6 which means that the electron
is more loosely bound in the smallest allowed orbit.
Solution:
The electron is more tightly bound in the smallest allowed orbit.
Hence n = 1, the electron has more negative energy implied the smallest orbit electron is more strongly
bound.

Option 4:
Addition of electron in oxygen results in larger size of the ion.
Correct Answer:
Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration.
Solution:
The first electron gain enthalpy of the Oxygen atom is negative, as when the electron is added, the
attractive forces between the incoming electron and nucleus outweigh the repulsions in between
electrons.
But on adding the second electron, the repulsions take over attractive forces, hence it's an endothermic
process.

Q. 13 Figure shows schematic plan of blood circulation in humans with labels A to D. Identify the
label and give its function/s.
Option 1:
D - Dorsal aorta - takes blood from heart to body parts, PO2 = 95 mm Hg
Option 2:
A - Pulmonary vein - takes impure blood from body parts, PO2 = 60 mm Hg
Option 3:
B- Pulmonary artery -takes blood from heart to lungs, PO2 = 90 mm Hg
Option 4:
C - Vena Cava - takes blood from body parts to right auricle, PCO2 = 45 mm Hg
Correct Answer:
C - Vena Cava - takes blood from body parts to right auricle, PCO2 = 45 mm Hg
Solution:
The circulation in humans is referred to as being double circulation as it includes two circulations i.e.
systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation
Systemic circulation
Systemic circulation is important for transporting oxygen and nutrients to different tissues of the body
and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes from the tissue
www.careers360.com 75
Back to Index
This type of circulation includes flow of oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to all parts of the body
and deoxygenated blood from various body parts to the right atrium.
The arteries of the systemic circulation arise from aorta. It also includes bronchial arteries which carry
nutrients to the lungs
Veins bring deoxygenated blood into the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava or the coronary sinus
which opens into the right atrium
Pulmonary circulation
Pulmonary circulation includes the flow of deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and
return of oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
The pulmonary trunk arises from the right ventricle and then bifurcates into the right pulmonary artery
and left pulmonary artery
Right pulmonary artery and left pulmonary artery supply deoxygenated blood to the right and left lungs
respectively. Exchange of gases occurs in lungs
Similarly, two pulmonary veins from each lung transport oxygenated blood to the left atrium
Human blood circulation is responsible for the transport of nutrients and oxygen to the different parts of
the body.
Oxygen-rich blood travels through the pulmonary vein and the left atrium into the left ventricle. So, the
partial pressure of oxygen will be very high.
The pulmonary artery carries the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs.
www.careers360.com 76
Back to Index
Since the blood is deoxygenated, the blood will have a more partial pressure of carbon dioxide than
oxygen.
Aorta carries the oxygen-rich blood from the left side of the heart to the body.
The vena cava is responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle parts of the
body to the right atrium.
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in vena cava or veins is equal to 45 mm Hg.
The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is equal to 100 mm Hg.
Hence, the correct answer is ' Vena Cava - takes blood from body parts to right auricle, PCO2 = 45 mm Hg'

Solution:
As we learnt in
Aldosterone -
Aldosterone acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and
excretion of K+ and phosphate ions.
- wherein
Thus, aldosterone helps in the maintenance of electrolytes, body fluid volume, osmotic pressure and

Option 3:
B - pleural membrane - surround ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing.
Option 4:
C - Alveoli - thin walled vascular bag like structures for exchange of gases.
Correct Answer:
C - Alveoli - thin walled vascular bag like structures for exchange of gases.
Solution:
The trachea (or windpipe) is a wide, hollow tube that connects the larynx (or voice box) to the bronchi of
the lungs.
The lungs are surrounded by two membranes, the pleurae. The outer pleura is attached to the chest wall
and is known as the parietal pleura; the inner one is attached to the lung and other visceral tissues and is
known as the visceral pleura. In between the two is a thin space known as the pleural cavity or pleural
space. It is filled with pleural fluid, a serous fluid produced by the pleura.
The alveoli are tiny air sacs within the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes
place. The pulmonary alveoli are the terminal ends of the respiratory tree.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Alveoli - thin walled vascular bag like structures for exchange of gases.'

During the cell cycle of eukaryotes, DNA replication occurs during the S (synthesis) phase. The cell cycle
consists of different phases, including G1 (gap 1), S phase, G2 (gap 2), and M (mitosis) phase.
In the S phase, the cell's DNA is replicated, producing two identical copies of each chromosome. This
replication process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information during
cell division. The S phase is characterized by active DNA synthesis, with DNA polymerases synthesizing
new DNA strands based on the existing template strands.
Therefore, DNA replication specifically takes place during the S phase of the cell cycle in eukaryotes.

Solution:
Towards the centre of the inner concave surface of the kidney is a notch called hilum through which
ureter, blood vessels and nerves enter.
A section through the kidney reveals an outer region called the renal cortex and an inner region called the
medulla.
The medulla is divided into a few conical masses (medullary pyramids) projecting into the calyces.
Emerging from the hilum is the renal pelvis, which is formed from the major and minor calyces in the
kidney.
The cortex extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal columns called Columns of Bertini.

A- Adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is a gland present on the upper pole of the kidney towards the
anterior surface. It has two parts cortex and medulla. Medulla releases catecholamines namely
adrenaline and noradrenaline. These help in increasing the blood sugar levels. One such mechanism is
glycogen breakdown.
B-Pelvis. The pelvis is a broad funnel-shaped space inner to the hilum. It is directly connected to
convoluted tubules but not to loops of Henle.
C.-Medulla. The medulla is the inner part of the kidney. It contains only loop of Henley of the nephrons
but not the complete nephron.
D-Cortex. Cortex is the outer part of the kidney. It contains glomerulus, PCT and DCT of the nephron.

meiosis and protein synthesis (Option 2) is carried out by ribosomes, the cytoskeleton is not directly
involved in these specific processes.
Transportation (Option 4) can involve the cytoskeleton indirectly, as it provides tracks or highways for
intracellular transport, but it is not the primary function of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton's primary
role in transportation is to help maintain the cellular architecture and provide support for the transport
systems.
Therefore, the correct function carried out by the cytoskeleton in a cell is Option 3) Motility.
Option 1:
Metaphase I
Option 2:
Metaphase II
Option 3:
Anaphase II
Option 4:
Telophase
Correct Answer:
Anaphase II
Solution:
The correct option is Option 3) Anaphase II.
During meiosis, which is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells), the division of the
centromere occurs during Anaphase II.
Anaphase II is the stage in meiosis II where the sister chromatids, which are the replicated copies of the
chromosomes, are separated. The centromere, which holds the sister chromatids together, divides and
allows the chromatids to move towards opposite poles of the cell.
In contrast, in Metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes align at the cell's equator, and the
centromeres are still intact. Metaphase II is when the individual chromosomes line up at the equator, and
the centromeres are ready to divide in Anaphase II.
Therefore, it is during Anaphase II of meiosis that the division of the centromere occurs.

Solution:
The ribosome is a complex molecular machine involved in protein synthesis. It is composed of two
subunits, the large subunit and the small subunit, which come together during protein synthesis and
dissociate afterward. These subunits consist of a combination of proteins and RNA molecules called
ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
In eukaryotes, the ribosome consists of 80 different proteins in total. The large subunit contains
approximately 50 different proteins, while the small subunit contains around 30 different proteins. These
proteins play essential roles in various aspects of protein synthesis, including mRNA binding, tRNA
binding, and catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds.
Therefore, Option 1) 80 is the correct answer for the number of different proteins that the ribosome
consists of.
Q. 6 The process of appearance of recombination nodules occurs at which sub stage of prophase

Option 1:
Zygotene
www.careers360.com 136
Back to Index
Option 2:
Pachytene
Option 3:
Diplotene
Option 4:
Diakinesis
Correct Answer:
Pachytene
Solution:
The correct option is Option 2) Pachytene.
Recombination nodules, also known as recombination sites or synaptonemal complexes, are structures
that facilitate the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
These structures are important for genetic recombination and the generation of genetic diversity.
The appearance of recombination nodules occurs during the substage of prophase I called Pachytene.
Prophase I is the longest and most complex phase of meiosis, consisting of several sub-stages: leptotene,
zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis.
During Pachytene, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo synapsis, where they become closely
associated. The synaptonemal complex, which includes the recombination nodules, forms between the
paired chromosomes. This complex helps to align the homologous chromosomes and promote the
exchange of genetic material through a process called crossing over.
After Pachytene, the chromosomes continue to condense and undergo further changes in the
subsequent sub-stages of prophase I, namely diplotene and diakinesis. In diplotene, the synaptonemal
complex becomes more visible, and the homologous chromosomes begin to separate but remain
connected at specific points called chiasmata. Diakinesis is the final sub-stage of prophase I, where the
chromosomes fully condense and prepare for metaphase I.
Therefore, the appearance of recombination nodules occurs at the substage of prophase I called
Pachytene, as stated in Option 2.

Statement B: During Anaphase, the centromeres split and chromatids separate.
This statement is correct. During anaphase of mitosis or meiosis II, the centromeres split, and the sister
chromatids separate, moving toward opposite poles of the cell.
Statement E: Crossing over takes place between sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
This statement is incorrect. Crossing over, also known as recombination, occurs between non-sister
chromatids of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. It results in the exchange of
genetic material between homologous chromosomes.

there is a positive intrapleural pressure
Option 4:
pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure
Correct Answer:
there is negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
Solution:
Lungs do not collapse between breaths, and some air always remains in the lungs, which can never be
expelled due to the negative intrapleural pressure that pulls at the lung walls.

Blood is composed of a clear, pale-coloured, watery fluid called plasma in which different types of blood
cells are suspended.
The serum is that part of the blood which is similar in composition with plasma but does not contain
clotting factors of blood. It includes all proteins not used in blood clotting and all the electrolytes,
antibodies, antigens, hormones, etc.
Option 1:
Renin
Option 2:
Atrial Natriuretic Factor
Option 3:
Aldosterone
Option 4:
ADH
Correct Answer:
Atrial Natriuretic Factor
Solution:
ANF is atrial natriuretic factor causes vasodilation and leads to decrease of blood pressure.
The increase in the blood flow to the atria of the heart causes the release of ANF.
It is mainly released by the atria of the heart in response to high blood volume.
It reduces the water, sodium, and adipose concentration in the circulatory system and thus reduces blood
pressure.

Option 2:
high concentration of Ca++ and Na+
Option 3:
decreased level of estrogen
Option 4:
accumulation of uric acid leading to inflammation of joints
Correct Answer:
decreased level of estrogen
Solution:
As we learnt in
Osteoporosis is an age related disorder of skeletal system caused due to weakening of bones by
decreased Ca++ and oestrogen levels. Osetrogen helps in decreasing the resorption of bone by
decreasing osteoclastic activity. As the oestrogen levels decrease the osteoclastic activity increases and
more ca++ is withdrawn into blood from bone resulting in osteoporosis.
Q. 16 A non-proteinaceous enzyme is
Option 1:
lysozyme
Option 2:
ribozyme
Option 3:
ligase
Option 4:
deoxyribonuclease
Correct Answer:
ribozyme
Solution:
The correct option is Option 2) ribozyme.
A non-proteinaceous enzyme is an enzyme that does not consist of protein but rather is composed of
RNA molecules. These RNA-based enzymes are called ribozymes. Ribozymes can catalyze various
biochemical reactions, similar to protein-based enzymes.

Q. 17 The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs is
Option 1:
equal to that in the blood
Option 2:
more than that in the blood
Option 3:
less than that in the blood
Option 4:
less than that of the carbon dioxide
Correct Answer:
more than that in the blood
Solution:
Alveoli are the site of gaseous exchange and have a higher partial pressure of oxygen than that of blood.
Blood is rich in carbon dioxide at cell and tissue level due to cellular respiration. The higher partial
pressure of oxygen in alveoli allow diffusion of oxygen into the blood.
Q. 18 Name the blood cells, whose reduction in number can cause clotting disorder, leading to
excessive loss of blood from the body.
Option 1:
Erythrocytes
Option 2:
Leucocytes
Option 3:
Neutrophils
Option 4:
Thrombocytes
Correct Answer:
Thrombocytes

Platelets
- wherein
Platelets also called thrombocytes, are cell fragments produced from megakaryocytes (special cells in the
bone marrow). Blood normally contains 1,500,00-3,500,00 platelets mm–3. Platelets can release a variety
of substances most of which are involved in the coagulation or clotting of blood. A reduction in their
number can lead to clotting disorders which will lead to excessive loss of blood from the body.
Option 1:
distal convoluted tubule
Option 2:
proximal convoluted tubule
Option 3:
Bowman's capsule
Option 4:
descending limb of Henle's loop
Correct Answer:
proximal convoluted tubule
Solution:
Therefore, Sodium reabsorption occurs through tubular reabsorption in proximal and distal convoluted
tubules only. The proximal convoluted tubule is involved in active reabsorption of sodium into the
peritubular capillary network and passive flow of water flows. It accounts for 67% of sodium reabsorption.
DCT reabsorption of sodium is also an active process but is under hormonal regulation i.e., conditional
response.

Hence, the correct answer is 'proximal convoluted tubule'
Q. 20 Name the ion responsible for unmasking of active sites for myosin for cross-bridge activity
during muscle contraction.
Option 1:
Calcium
Option 2:
Magnesium
Option 3:
Sodium
Option 4:
Potassium
Correct Answer:
Calcium
Solution:
Mechanism of muscle contraction is best explained by the sliding filament theory which states that
contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments.
Calcium is the ion released into the sarcoplasm from sarcoplasmic reticulum during the polarisation.
Ca++ attaches to the Troponin-C. This brings a conformational change in the tropomyosin.
As a result unmasking of active sites on actin for myosin takes place. Cross bridges are formed between
actin and myosin. This results in muscle contraction.
Magnesium is used in phosphorylation reactions involving ATP.
Sodium and potassium help in maintaining the membrane potential.
