The pitch of DNA molecule is?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
34 A∘34\,A^\circ

Assertion: All enzymes are protein
Reason: RNA can’t act as enzyme
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both the assertion and reason are false
Option D is correct because the assertion that all enzymes are proteins is false (some are RNA), and the reason that RNA can't act as an enzyme is also false (ribozymes exist).
126 Medium

A competitive inhibitor, competes with the substrate, for the substrate binding site of enzymes due to its
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Structural similarity with substrate
Option A (Structural similarity with substrate) is correct because competitive inhibitors bind to the active site due to their structural similarity with the substrate.

Which one of the following statements is wrong?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Exoskeleton of arthropods have a complex polysaccharide called glycogen
Option D (Exoskeleton of arthropods have a complex polysaccharide called glycogen) is correct because the exoskeleton of arthropods is made of chitin, not glycogen.

DNA and RNA, both are types of nucleic acid. Figure out the correct statements concerning DNA and RNA from below.
I. Adenine and guanine are bases that have a double ring structure.
II. An adenine nucleotide from DNA is the same as an adenine nucleotide from RNA; in DNA, adenine pairs with thymine and in RNA adenine pairs with uracil.
III. The base pairing that occurs in a double DNA helix and when RNA is synthesised during transcription, it follows the rule that a purine pairs with a pyrimidine.
IV. The two polynucleotide strands of a DNA molecule run in opposite directions so that the double helix formed has two strands that are parallel to each other.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
I, III and IV only
Option A (I, II and III only) is correct because statement IV is incorrect; the two polynucleotide strands of DNA run in opposite directions, making the double helix antiparallel, not parallel.

Select the correct which represents the homopolysaccharides made up of glucose monomers
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Starch, glycogen, cellulose
Option D (Starch, glycogen, cellulose) is correct because all three are homopolysaccharides made up of glucose monomers.

If the DNA of a zygote has adenine, thymine in the gametic DNA is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
20%20\%
Option B (20%20\%) is correct because in gametic DNA, A=T. If A is 20% in the zygote, it must also be 20% in the gamete.
131 Medium
131 of 142
Analyzing +4 | -1
Select the incorrect statement.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Cellulose, inulin, starch and glycogen are homopolymers of glucose
Option C (Cellulose, inulin, starch and glycogen are homopolymers of glucose) is correct because inulin is a homopolymer of fructose, not glucose.
132 Medium
132 of 142
Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following are not polymeric?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Lipids
Option A (Lipids) is correct because lipids are not formed by the polymerization of repeating monomeric units, unlike nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides.
133 Medium

Cellulose is made up of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Unbranched chain of glucose molecule linked by β-1, 4 glycosidic bond
Option C (Unbranched chain of glucose molecule linked by β-1, 4 glycosidic bond) is correct because cellulose consists of a linear chain of glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

Name the plant pigments present in the following I. Carrots II. Tomatoes
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
I-Carotene II-Lycopene
Option B (I-Carotene II-Lycopene) is correct because carrots are known for their high carotene content, while tomatoes are known for their lycopene content.

Aminoacids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group
and a carboxyl group in their structure. In addition, all naturally
occurring aminoacids (those which are found in proteins) are
called L-aminoacids. From this, can you guess from which
compound can the simplest aminoacid be made?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Glycine
The correct answer is Glycine because it is the simplest amino acid and can be conceptually derived from methane by substituting one hydrogen with an amino group and another with a carboxyl group.

How many Nucleotides are present in 170 A∘{A^ \circ } length of DNA
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
100
Option C (100) is correct because each base pair occupies 3.4 Å, so 170 Å contains 50 base pairs, which equals 100 nucleotides.

Glycosidic bond is seen in
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D

II. Lecithin is phospho lipid present in plasma membrane
III. Glycerol is chemically trihydroxypropane
IV. Palmitic acid contain 20 carbons including carboxyl group
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
II & III
Option B (II & III) is correct because lecithin is a phospholipid found in plasma membranes, and glycerol is chemically trihydroxypropane.

Statement-I : Starch −I2-\mathrm{I}_2 is blue as starch can hold I2\mathrm{I}_2 molecules but cellulose cannot hold I2\mathrm{I}_2

Statement-II : Starch is a homopolymer whereas cellulose is a heteropolymer
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement - I is true but Statement - II is false
Option C (Statement - I is true but Statement - II is false) is correct because starch does hold iodine giving a blue color, but both starch and cellulose are homopolymers of glucose.
