Explanation / Answer
Hi
12. Ans: B. It is a fungus.
Fungus is an eukaryote, yet single celled in nature. It divide by binary fission, can exist either as haploid or diploid. Fungus has a cell wall.
13. OPLL
14. D protozoa, they have huge variations in genome size, C-value.
15. d.
THe archaer were infact thoght to be close to bacteria, but sequence information and molecules details have put them close to eukarotes and now in a separate kingdom.
16. Lysosome
Lysosome is an organelle, only found in eukaryotic cell. A prokaryotic cell lacks organelles such as mitochondria, golgi bodies etc.
17. c.Diffusion
Diffusion is a passive process which does not need active ATP or energy utilization.
18. c. ATP production in mitochondria, as it lacks organelles.
19. a.
these two being two different family, show highest difference. The ribosome and tRNA are conserved in nature so much variation we can expect.
20. C. As all organisms on this earth utilize energy in the form of ATP, that must be the common thing shared by all species.
