Variation & Genetics (Heredity)
Solution
The correct base pairing for DNA is
A
adenine → thymine and guanine → cytosine
B
adenine → guanine and thymine → cytosine
C
adenine → cytosine and guanine → thymine
D
adenine → adenine and cytosine → cytosine
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
In DNA, the correct base pairing follows a specific pattern: adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C). These pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
i.e A → T
G → C

Reproduction in Plants & Animals
Solution
The basking of Agama lizards in the sun is to
A
change the colour of their body
B
raise their body temperature to become active
C
fight to defend their territories
D
attract the female for courtship
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Agama lizards bask in the sun to help them regulate their body temperature, their internal temperature depends on external sources like sunlight. while courtship display may occur after basking, the primary purpose is thermoregulation rather than attracting females for courtship.

Adaptation & Evolution
Solution
The significance of a very large number of termites involved in nuptial swarming is to
A
provide birds with plenty of food
B
ensure their perpetuation despite predatory pressure
C
search for a favourable place to breed
D
ensure that every individual gets a mate
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Nuptial flight is an important phase in the reproduction of termites, and some bees. During this flight, pairs of male and female termites isolate themselves from others and fall to the ground. Their wings then break off and each pair goes on its own to form a nest in a suitable spot. mating occurs in the new nest after some time.
