True/false –
Write 't' if the statement is true and 'f' if the statement is false.
1) spontaneous generation refers to the idea that organisms came from other organisms.
⊚ true
⊚ false
Ans>> f
Spontaneous generation is the outdated belief that life can arise from non-living matter (e.g.,
maggots from rotting meat). It does not refer to organisms coming from other organisms. The
idea that organisms arise from other organisms is biogenesis, not spontaneous generation.
2) the human body only contains bacteria during illness.
⊚ true
⊚ false
Ans>> f
The human body is home to a normal microbiota—a collection of beneficial and harmless
microbes that live on and inside the body, especially in the gut, skin, and mouth—even when a
person is healthy. Bacteria are not only present during illness.
3) bacteria and eukarya both contain membrane-bound organelles.
⊚ true
⊚ false
Ans>> f
, Eukarya (eukaryotic cells) have membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, and
endoplasmic reticulum. Bacteria (prokaryotes) do not have membrane-bound organelles; their
genetic material is free-floating in the cytoplasm.
4) the scientific name of an organism indicates its domain.
⊚ true
⊚ false
Ans>> f
The scientific name (binomial nomenclature) consists of the genus and species of an organism,
not its domain. Domains (bacteria, archaea, eukarya) are higher-level taxonomic categories that
are not indicated by the scientific name alone.
5) viroids are naked (lacking a protein shell) pieces of rna that infect plants.
⊚ true
⊚ false
Ans>> t
Viroids are small, circular rna molecules without a protein coat. They infect plants and rely on
host enzymes for replication. Unlike viruses, they lack a protective capsid or envelope.
6) viruses simultaneously contain dna, rna, and protein.
⊚ true
⊚ false
Ans>> f
