To determine the effect of intra-specific competition on the growth of saplings of Eucalyptus dives, an experiment was designed in which two sets of pots were used. In the first set only 1 sapling was planted per pot. To check for the effect of intra-specific competition on allocation to each set. the results have been graphically indicated below. Which of the following conclusions can be best drawn from the study ?

Few simple chemical tests are given below to differentiate between the pairs of compounds.Which of the following tests is not correct for differentiation ?

A homozygous sweet pea plant with blue flowers (RR) and long pollen (R_0R_0) is crossed with a homozygous plant having red flowers (rr) and round pollen (r_0r_0) . The resultant F_1 hybrid is test crossed. Which of the following genotype does not appear in its progeny?

(a) A student dropped a few pieces of marble in dilute hydrochloric acid contained in a test tube. The evolved gas was passed through lime water. What change would be observed in lime water ? Write balanced chemical equations for both the changes observed.

When trees become iron deficient, their leaves turn yellow prematurely. A botanist is testing iron doped fertilizers on maple trees with iron deficiencies. The botanist has selected 200 maple trees in the state of Wisconsin that have been identified as having an iron deficiency Half of the trees are randomly chosen to recieve the iron-doped fertilizer, while the other half are given a fertilizer without iron. The results from the test show that trees adminstered the iron doped fertilizer had fewer premature yellow leaves, indicating an increase in their iron levels. Which of the following statements best describes the results of the test?

The genotypes of a plant variety were TtHh, Tthh, ttHh and tthh, where T = tallness and H= hairy stem. Which one of the following crosses would produce progeny giving a phenotypic ratio approximately 1:1:1:1 ?

Bottles containing C_(6)H_(5)I and C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)I lost their original lables. They were labelled A and B for festing. A and B were separately taken in a test tube and boiled with NaOH solution. The end solution in each tube was made acidic with dilute HNO_(3) and then some AgNO_(3) solution was added. Substance B gave a yellow precipitate. Which one of the following statements is true for this experiment.

The following summaries describe some published research results. Research 1. Wu and Li (1985): The comparative analysis of homologous genes between human and mouse genomes suggests that the evolutionary rate of homologous genes was higher in the mouse lineage than in the human lineage. Research 2. Smith and Donohe (2008) : The plant families Caprifoliacease, Asclepiadeceae and Lamiaceae are compsed of both herbaceous and arborescent speciers. The comparative analysis of homologous genes between the herbaceous and arborescent species within a single plant family suggests that the evolutionary rate of homologous genes in herbaceous lineages were faster than of arborescent lineages in all three plant familes. Research 3. Gilman et al. (2009): The comparative analysis of 130 homologous mitochondrial genes between a sister species pair of vertebrates from the temperate region and from the tropical region indicate that the base substitution rates of homologous genes from the tropical region are 1.7 times faster than that of the temperate region. Based on these studies which of the following statements best describes the common evolutionary processes in plant and animal genes?

If the stem of a herbaceous plant is cut the sap exudes from that part. What is it due to?
