The ion required as the co-factor for the proteolytic enzyme, carboxypeptidase, is:
1. Zinc

2. Copper

3. Iron

4. Manganese

With respect to meiosis, when does DNA replication occur?
1. Before meiosis I only
2. After meiosis I only
3. Before and after meiosis I
4. After meiosis II

The inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate is an example of:
1. Non-competitive reversible inhibition
2. Non-competitive irreversible inhibition
3. Competitive inhibition
4. Allosteric inhibition

The component molecules of the cell membrane have two main parts, the head and the tail. These parts are either hydrophobic (repelled by water) or hydrophilic (attracted to water). Which is which?
1. Hydrophilic Head and Hydrophobic Tail
2. Both Hydrophobic
3. Hydrophilic Tail and Hydrophobic Head
4. Both Hydrophilic

The living state of an organism is a :
1. non-equlibrium steady state
2. non-equilibrium variable state
3. steady state in perfect equlibrium
4. variable state in perfect quilibrium

The main difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion is:
1. In active transport the molecules move from areas of high to areas of low concentration
2. In active transport, you need carrier proteins
3. In active transport you need ATP to move molecules against a concentration gradient
4. In active transport, only water molecules move.

Scientists think that mitochondria may have once been separate living organisms for all of the following reasons except that they
1. have cilia and flagella
2. have their own DNA
3. can reproduce
4. can produce their own proteins

The phase of mitosis in which the spindle fibers break apart, two new nuclear membranes begin to form, and the chromosomes disperse into chromatin is
1. metaphase
2. telophase
3. anaphase
4. prophase

The most important significance of meiosis is that:
1. It increases variations in the gene pool of the species that helps in evolution of that species.
2. It causes growth in the multicellular organisms
3. It conserves specific number of chromosomes in each species across generations
4. It is vital for repair and regeneration functions in the living organisms.

Consider the following statements regarding meiosis:
I. At metaphase I the microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the pair of homologous chromosomes.
II. At anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associates with each other.
Of the two statements:

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
