- 5. Polynucleotide chain of DNA contains
Options- A. a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group
- B. a nitrogenous base, ribose sugar and phosphate group
- C. deoxyribose sugar, ribose sugar and phosphate group
- D. a nitrogenous base and phosphate group only Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: a nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group
Explanation:
The two DNA strands are called polynucleotidesbecause they are composed of simpler monomer units called nucleotides. Eachnucleotideis composed of one of four nitrogen-containingnucleobases (cytosine, guanine, adenine or thymine), a sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group.
- 6. Most viruses that infect plants possess
Options- A. single-stranded DNA
- B. single-stranded RNA
- C. double-stranded DNA and RNA
- D. double-stranded RNA only Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: single-stranded RNA
Explanation:
Generally viruses that infect plants have single stranded RNA. Viruses infecting animals have double stranded RNA or DNA. Viruses which infect bacteria have double stranded DNA.
- 7. Syngamy results information of
Options- A. haploid zygote
- B. diploid zygote
- C. non-motile male gametes
- D. motile male gametes Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: diploid zygote

- 9. The plant growth regulators are small, simple molecules of diverse chemical composition. They are
Options- A. carbohydrates, fats and proteins
- B. indole compounds, adenine derivatives, carotenoids and terpenes
- C. fatty acids, glucose and vitamins
- D. vitamin C, vitamin D and glucose Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: indole compounds, adenine derivatives, carotenoids and terpenes
Explanation:
The plant growth regulators are small, simple molecules of diversechemical composition. They can be in form of indole compounds, adenine derivatives, carotenoids derivatives,terpenes or gases like ethyleneetc.The plant growth regulators are bifurcated into two groups according to their functions in a living plant body.First group of plant growth regulators are found in growth activities, for instance, cell division, flowering, fruiting and seed formation.The second group of Plant growth regulators are involved in plant responses to wounds and stresses of biotic and abiotic origin.
