Identify the wrong statement about meiosis.

botany division for growth and reproduction difference between meiosis and mitosis meiosis the origin of cells and cell division

  1. Pairing of homologous chromosomes

  2. Four haploid cells are formed

  3. At the end of meiosis number of chromosomes are reduced to half

  4. Two cycle of DNA replication occur

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. The two meiotic divisions are known as Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

So, the correct option is 'two cycles of DNA replication occur'.

Which of the following statement is not true for meiosis?

botany division for growth and reproduction difference between meiosis and mitosis meiosis the origin of cells and cell division

  1. It is a process in which the chromosomes duplicate only once

  2. It is a process in which the cell divides twice

  3. The karyokinesis skips one of the phases compared to mitosis

  4. It results in the formation of four haploid cells

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The stage of karyokinesis does not skip any phase in mitosis as compared to meiosis because the cell division phases are the same in meiosis and mitosis.

So, the correct option is 'The karyokinesis skips one of the phases compared to mitosis'.

........... is used for preparing standard solutions in which it is always desired to maintain a constant pH.

  1. Buffer

  2. Plasma

  3. Serum

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH upon the addition of acidic or basic components. To effectively maintain a pH range, a buffer consists of a weak conjugate acid-base pair. It is either a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Thus the correct answer is option A.

A buffer is a mixture of

  1. Weak acid and its salt with a strong base

  2. Strong acid and its salt with a strong base

  3. Weak acid and its salt with a weak base

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH upon the addition of acidic or basic components. To effectively maintain a pH range, a buffer consists of a weak conjugate acid-base pair, meaning either a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. An acidic buffer solution is the one which has a pH less than 7. Acidic buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts having a strong base. Thus the correct answer is option A.

The proton-pumps provide energy to cells through.

  1. pH gradient and electro potential gradient

  2. ATP and ADP

  3. Auxins and hormones

  4. Carbolwdrates and lipids

Correct Option: A

If the activity of an enzyme is constant over a broad range of pH values,it is likely that

  1. only ionizing groups on the enzyme participate in the reaction

  2. only ionizing groups on the substrate participate in the reaction

  3. ionizing groups on the enzyme and substrate participate in the reaction

  4. the temperature should be changed in order to observe a pH effect

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Changes in pH may influence the state of a catalyst as well as change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate can not tie to the dynamic site or it can't experience catalysis. In general, protein has a pH ideal. Anyway, the ideal isn't the equivalent for every chemical. 
So, the correct option is 'only ionizing groups on the enzyme participate in the reaction'
