1. DNA fingerprinting recognizes the differences in
satellite DNA

2. This force can stabilize a DNA double-helix
Hydrophilic sugar-phosphate groups are found on the exterior of the helix where interaction with water occurs
Hydrophobic bases are present in the interior of the helix; each base-pair is stabilized by the same number of hydrogen bonds
covalent base stacking interactions may take place between neighbouring bases within the same strand in the helix

one such molecule
two such molecules
four such molecules
eight such molecules

10. The bases are held together in a DNA double helix by hydrogen bonds. These bonds are
Ionic bonds
Covalent bonds

11. This factor contributes to the carbon cycle
fossil fuel combustion
respiration
photosynthesis
all of these
12. The source of carbon to plants in the carbon cycle is
fossil fuels
carbonate rocks
atmospheric carbon dioxide
all of the above
13. The role of bacteria in the carbon cycle is
Breakdown of organic compounds
Chemosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Assimilation of nitrogen compounds
14. In the carbon cycle; the human body returns carbon to the atmosphere through this way:
formation of glucose
waste products
photosynthesis
cellular respiration
15. Respiration and photosynthesis are central to this process
nitrogen cycle
phosphorous cycle
carbon cycle
sulphur cycle
16. The difference between the phosphorous cycle and carbon cycle lies in the fact that
the phosphorous cycle does not include a gaseous phase but the carbon cycle does
phosphorous does not enter living entities but carbon enters
the phosphorous cycle includes a solid phase; the carbon cycle does not
primary reservoir of the phosphorous cycle is the atmosphere; but rocks are the primary reservoirs for carbon cycle
17. Most of the global warming is due to the perturbation of which of these cycles?
Global nitrogen cycle
Global carbon cycle
Global water cycle
All of these cycles equally contribute
18. This carbon isotope is radioactive and very rare
Carbon – 11
Carbon – 12
Carbon – 13
Carbon – 14
19. By this method; the majority of carbon moves from the lithosphere to the atmosphere
erosion
deposition
weathering
fossil fuel burning
20. These entities sequester most carbon from the atmosphere
Plants
Archaea
Bacteria
Insects
21. The stimulation of a muscle fibre by a motor neuron occurs at the
myofibril
transverse tubules
neuromuscular junction
sarcoplasmic reticulum
22. An injury sustained by the hypothalamus is most likely to interrupt
coordination during locomotion
short term memory
regulation of body temperature
executive function like decision making
23. In humans; the Alzheimer disease is linked with the deficiency of
acetylcholine
dopamine
glutamic acid
Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA)
24. What is the person with these symptoms suffering from? Outbursts of emotions; unpredictable moods; quarrelsome behaviour; conflicts with others
Mood disorders
Addictive diroders
Schizoprenia
Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
25. Even after the brain of a frog has been crushed; it still responds to a pinch on the leg by drawing it away. This act is an example of
Conditioned reflex
Simple reflex
Automated motor response
Neurotransmitter induced response

28. This is the outermost cranial appendage
Dura mater
Pia mater
Skull
Arachnoid
29. This cranial meninges is in close proximity of the brain tissue
Dura mater
Pia mater
Arachnoid
Skull tissue
30. This statement is not associated with midbrain
the ventral portion of the midbrain is composed of mainly four; round swellings known as corpora quadrigemina
located between thalamus of the forebrain and pons of the hindbrain
the canal called cerebral aqueduct passes through the midbrain
hindbrain and midbrain constitute the brain stem
31. Entities exhibiting properties of both non-living and living are:
diatoms

bacteria
viruses
32. This has a smaller intestine
carnivore
herbivore
both (a) and (b)

All of the above
34. Here; the maximum exchange of material between blood and surrounding cells takes place
