- Write a four-step aquatic food chain. Among them, which group of organisms is most important and why?
- How many billion tons productivity of oceans?
- Assertion (A): Gross primary productivity is always less than net primary productivity.
Reason (R): Rate of synthesis of organic matter by consumers is known as secondary productivity. Consider the following statements:
Every step in a food chain is called a trophic level.
Decomposers convert complex organic matter into simple substances that mix with the soil.

Questions Asked in IIT JAM BT exam
The vector, shown in the figure, has promoter and RBS sequences in the 300 bp region between the restriction sites for enzymes X and Y. There are no other sites for X and Y in the vector. The promoter is directed towards the Y site. The insert containing only an ORF provides 3 fragments after digestion with both enzymes X and Y. The ORF is cloned in the correct orientation in the vector using the single restriction enzyme Y. The size of the largest fragment of the recombinant plasmid expressing the ORF upon digestion with enzyme X is ........... bp. (answer in integer)
