Question #1
The most common method of reproduction in bacteria is:
A. Binary fission
B. Budding
C. Spore formation
D. Fragmentation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Binary fission is the primary and most common method of asexual reproduction in bacteria. In this process, the bacterial cell replicates its DNA and then divides into two identical daughter cells. Under optimal conditions, some bacteria can divide every 20 minutes. Bacteria can also exchange genetic material through processes like conjugation, transformation, and transduction.

Question #2
A virus particle (virion) consists of genetic material enclosed in a protein coat called:
A. Envelope
B. Capsid
C. Plasmid
D. Cell wall

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A virus is an obligate intracellular parasite. The basic structure of a virus particle, or virion, consists of genetic material (either DNA or RNA, but never both) enclosed in a protective protein coat called a capsid, made of subunits called capsomeres. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane.

Question #3
Consider statements about bryophytes: 1. They are called amphibians of the plant kingdom. 2. They possess vascular tissues. 3. They require water for fertilization. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bryophytes are termed amphibians of the plant kingdom because they live on land but require water for the swimming of male gametes to reach the egg during fertilization. They lack true vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), which first appear in pteridophytes. Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct, but statement 2 is false.
