  1. Circular, ssRNA

  2. Circular, dsDNA

  3. Linear, triple stranded DNA

  4. zig-zag DNA

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bacterial genome as that of a bacteria E.coli consists of Double-stranded DNA (ds DNA) which is circular which means it doesn't have ends like eukaryotic chromosomes. E.coli consists of 4.6 x 10$^6$ base pairs(bp).

So, the correct answer is 'Circular, dsDNA'.

  1. 9+0

  2. 9+2

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Eukaryotic cilia and flagella have similar organization-
  • They possess a central bundle of microtubules called the axoneme which contain nine outer doublet microtubules surrounded by a central pair of singlet microtubules.
  • This characteristic 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules is seen when the axoneme of eukaryotic flagella.
  • The correct answer is OPTION B.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of

  1. Cellulose

  2. Hemicellulose

  3. Cellulose and hemicellulose

  4. Peptidoglycan

  5. Glycogen

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Peptidoglycans (or mucopeptide or glycopeptide or murein) are the structural elements of almost all bacterial cell walls. They constitute as much as 95% of the cell wall in some Gram positive bacteria to as little as 5 to 10% in Gram negative bacteria. Peptidoglycans are made up of a polysaccharide backbone consisting of alternating muramic acid and glucose amine residues in equal amounts.

  1. Plasmodium

  2. Saccharomyces

  3. Streptococcus

  4. Chlamydomonas

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Membrane bound organelles are absent in prokaryotes. As compared to a eukaryotic cell, the only comparable organelles present in prokaryotes are ribosomes which are naked nucleoprotein particles. Plasmodium is a unicellular eukaryotic organism which belongs to Kingdom Protista. Saccharomyces is also a unicellular eukaryotic organism which belongs to Kingdom Mycota or Fungi. Streptococcus is a unicellular prokaryotic organism which belongs to Kingdom Monera. Chlamydomonas is a unicellular eukaryotic organism, previously classified under Kingdom Plantae as Chlorophyceae but has now been moved to Kingdom Protista. Of the given options only Streptococcus is a prokaryotic organism. Hence, membrane bound cell organelles are missing in Streptococcus.
