Four different receptors viz, A, B, C, and D bond to the same ligand X. In order to determine which receptor has the highest binding affinity following experiment was carried out. Cells were transfected with green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged receptors (A, B, C, and D) individually, then incubated with red fluorescence (RFP)-tagged -'X' and subjected to FACS analysis. Following are the results
Which receptor has the highest ligand binding affinity?
A
B
C
D
During line transect sampling of two solitary species of ground mammals the following observation was made:
Smaller species | Larger species | ||
A | Transect length | 100 km | 100 km |
B | No. of animals sighted | 30 | 36 |
C | Mean perpendicular distance from transect line | 10 m | 40 m |
Which of the following can be inferred from the data?
The smaller species is ore abundant but seen less frequently.
The smaller species are less abundant and seen less frequently.
The larger species are more abundant but seen less frequently.
The larger species are seen more frequently, but its abundance cannot be compared with the smaller species.
A protein contains 2 Trp and 4 Tyr residues. The molecular mass of the protein is 17000 D and that of Trp and try ae 204 and 180 D respectively. Values of E, the absorption coefficient of 1% (g/ v) solutions of Trp and Tyr in a 1-cm cell at 280 nm, are 269.60 and 8.33 respectively. The absorption of 1 mg/ ml protein solution in 1-cm cell at 280 nm will be:

A bee leaves its hive in the morning and after flying for 30 minutes due south reaches a garden and spends 5 minutes collecting honey. Then it flies for 40 minutes due west and collects honey in another garden for 10 minutes. Then it returns to the hive taking the shortest route. How long was the bee away from its hive? (Assume that the bee flies at constant speed)
85 min
155 min
135 min
Less than 1 hour
C.
135 min
After moving south when the bee flies west and stops at a point, it has traversed two perpendicular sides of a right triangle. To return to the starting point along the shortest path then it would lastly traverse the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
In this triangle, the bee has traversed the vertical side in 30 mins and the base side in 40 mins both at constant speed. As time is proportional to distance with speed remaining constant (Distance = Speed × Time), the hypotenuse length would be
L = units that would be covered by the bee in 50 mins (because of proportionality, we need not bother to find speed; the distance unit would be distance covered in 1 minute).
So total time = 30 mins + 5 mins + 40 mins + 10 mins + 50 mins = 135 mins.
A bird perched at the top of a 12 m high tree sees a centipede moving toward the base of the tree from a distance equal to twice the height of the tree. The bird flies along a straight line to catch the centipede. If both move at the same speed, at what distance from the base of the tree will the centipede be picked up by the bird?
16 m
9 m
12 m
14 m
