Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following statements are correct regarding the general difference between plant and animal cells?
- Plant cells have cellulose cell walls whilst animal cells do not.
- Plant cells do not have plasma membrane unlike animal cells which do.
- Mature plant cell has one large vacuole whilst animal cell has many small vacuoles.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct
Solution (c)
- A cell wall gives mechanical support to a plant cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls.
- Plants have both a cell wall that is made up of cell membrane (plasma membrane) and cellulose. Plants cells are primarily identified with the presence of large vacuole at the centre of the cell.
- Animal cells may have many small vacuoles, a lot smaller than the plant cell.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
In the context of recent advances in human reproductive technology, ‘Pronuclear Transfer” is used for
Correct
Solution (d)
Pronuclear Transfer
- In this method, first mother’s eggs with abnormal mitochondria and the donated egg with normal mitochondria are fertilised with sperm.
- Then the pronuclei from the normal mitochondria are destroyed and the pronucleus from zygote of the abnormal mitochondria is transferred to the emptied zygote.
- After this procedure the embryo with normal mitochondria and maternal and paternal genome is transferred to the uterus.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following activities:
- Spraying pesticides on a crop field
- Inspecting the craters of active volcanoes
- Collecting breath samples from spouting whales for DNA analysis
At the present level of technology, which of the above activities can be successfully carried out by using drones?
Correct
Solution (d)
All the statements are correct.
Drones have become a critical tool for professionals working in a large variety of different sectors such as public safety, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, surveying and mapping, agriculture, wildlife conservation and many more.
The agriculture sprayer drones protect farmers from poisoning and heat stroke, while spraying liquid pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides on agricultural land.
Scientists recently conducted a study using drones to make aerial images of a volcano in Guatemala.

4. Question
The experiment will employ a trio of spacecraft flying in formation in the shape of an equilateral triangle that has sides one million kilometres long, with lasers shining between the craft.” The experiment in question refers to
Correct
Solution (d)
e-LISA is a plan of setting into space three spacecraft, a mother and two daughter spacecraft, which will fly in a triangular formation, trailing the earth in its orbit around the sun at a distance of over 50 million km.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements:
- Genetic changes can be introduced in the cells that produce eggs or sperms of a prospective parent.
- A person’s genome can be edited before birth at the early embryonic stage.
- Human induced pluripotent stem cells can be injected into the embryo of a pig.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution (d)
Genetic changes can be introduced in the cells that produce eggs or sperms of a prospective parent. This is how various genetically modified organisms are born.
Using this technique various genetic diseases of the off-springs can be cured, i.e. by editing their DNA.
Induced pluripotency is one where a mature cell can be modified into a nascent cell, which has the capability to reproduce any tissue. Injecting such human cells into embryo of the pig; we can cultivate a human like kidney, heart, etc through this embryo, as it grows.
