1st Year Biology ch # 1 ( Biodiversity and Classification) – Important Shorts Click Here To Download Exercise Imp. MCQs Imp. Longs 📌 Short Questions with English & Roman Urdu Explantion – Biology Chapter 1 (Biodiversity & Classification) Q1: What are the three domains of life and how do they differ in terms of cellular structure?   Answer (English): In 1990, Carl Woese classified living organisms into three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Archaea and Bacteria are prokaryotes, but they differ in cell membrane lipids (ether-linkage in Archaea, ester-linkage in Bacteria). Eukarya possess eukaryotic cells with a true nucleus and membrane-bounded organelles. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Carl Woese ne life ko teen hisson mein baanta hai. Archaea aur Bacteria mein nucleus nahi hota, lekin inki cell membrane banane ka tareeqa alag hai. Eukarya advanced hote hain kyunke inke paas nucleus aur organelles dono hote hain. Q2: Describe one key feature that differentiates Archaea from Bacteria.   Answer (English): The main difference is cell wall composition. Archaea cell walls lack peptidoglycan and contain distinct polysaccharides and proteins, whereas bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Dono mein sab se bara farq cell wall ka hai. Bacteria ki cell wall ‘peptidoglycan’ se banti hai, jabke Archaea mein ye cheez nahi hoti. Q3: Which kingdom is characterized by organisms with chitin in their cell walls and that are mostly decomposers?   Answer (English): Kingdom Fungi is characterized by organisms with chitin in their cell walls. They are decomposers because they use an absorptive mode of nutrition. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Fungi ki cell wall ‘chitin’ se bani hoti hai. Ye janwaron ki tarah khana khaate nahi, balki absorb karte hain, isliye inhein ‘decomposers’ kehte hain. Q4: What type of speciation occurs when populations are geographically separated?   Answer (English): Allopatric speciation occurs when populations are geographically separated, leading to independent evolution. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Jab koi aabadi (population) kisi rukawat (jaise pahar ya samundar) ki wajah se alag ho jaye, toh unhein ‘Allopatric speciation’ kehte hain. Q5: What is the role of genetic drift in the process of speciation?   Answer (English): Genetic drift involves changes in allele frequency by chance in small populations, causing genetic divergence and creating new species. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Choti aabadi mein chance ki wajah se genes mein jo tabdeeli aati hai, use genetic drift kehte hain. Ye nayi species banne mein madad karti hai. Q6: What is the primary method used to assess species distribution along an environmental gradient?   Answer (English): Transect sampling is the primary method used to assess species distribution across different conditions by recording species at regular intervals along a line. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Kisi alaqay mein species kahan kahan hain, ye check karne ke liye ‘Transect sampling’ ka method best hai, jismein ek line laga kar check kiya jata hai. Q7: Which level of biodiversity assessment involves evaluating the variety of ecosystems in a region?   Answer (English): The ecosystem level involves evaluating the variety of habitats, such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands, to understand ecological health. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Jab hum ek poore ilaqay ke jungle, darya ya sehraon ki variety check karte hain, toh use ‘Ecosystem level’ biodiversity assessment kehte hain. Q8: Define phylogeny and phylogenetic tree.   Answer (English): Phylogeny is the evolutionary relationship among organisms, and a phylogenetic tree is a diagram representing these relationships. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Phylogeny ka matlab hai jandaron ka aaps mein evolutionary rishta, aur phylogenetic tree wo diagram hai jo is rishte ko dikhati hai. Q9: Why did Carl Woese propose the three-domain system?   Answer (English): Woese proposed it based on molecular evidence showing that prokaryotes are not a monophyletic group, separating them into Archaea and Bacteria. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Carl Woese ne ye system isliye banaya kyunke molecular science se pata chala ke prokaryotes do alag alag groups (Archaea aur Bacteria) mein bante ja sakte hain. Q10: What molecular evidence suggests that Archaea are more closely related to Eukarya than to Bacteria?   Answer (English): Archaea share genetic sequences and regulatory mechanisms with Eukarya that are absent in Bacteria. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Archaea ke genes aur kaam karne ka tareeqa Eukarya se milta hai, jo Bacteria mein nahi milta, isliye Archaea aur Eukarya aapas mein zyada kareebi hain. Q11: Define Domain.   Answer (English): The highest rank or level of classification in the biological taxonomic hierarchy is termed as Domain. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Domain biological classification ka sab se bara aur top level hai. Q12: Describe the size range and reproduction in domain Archaea.   Answer (English): They range from 0.1 µm to 15 µm in diameter and reproduce asexually through binary or multiple fission, fragmentation, or budding. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Archaea ka size bohat chota hota hai aur ye asexual tareeqon se (jaise binary fission) reproduce karte hain. Q13: Compare the cell membrane of Archaea with bacteria and eukarya.   Answer (English): Archaean membranes have lipids with ether-linkages and branched fatty acid chains, while bacteria and eukarya have ester-linkages and unbranched chains. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Archaea ki cell membrane mein ‘ether-linkage’ hoti hai aur chains branched hoti hain, jabke Bacteria aur Eukarya mein ‘ester-linkage’ hoti hai aur chains seedhi (unbranched) hoti hain. Q14: Draw the sketch of Archaean and Eukaryan membrane lipid.   (Note: Ye diagram aap apni post mein as a reference image zaroor lagayein)   Q15: How does Archaea differ from Eukarya and Bacteria in cell wall composition?   Answer (English): Archaea cell walls contain distinct polysaccharides and proteins (lacking cellulose and peptidoglycan), unlike bacteria (peptidoglycan) or plants (cellulose). Explanation (Roman Urdu): Archaea ki cell wall Bacteria aur plants se bilkul alag hoti hai kyunke ismein na peptidoglycan hota hai na cellulose, balki kuch aur proteins hote hain. Q16: State the metabolic differences between Archaea and Eukarya or Bacteria.   Answer (English): Archaea perform unique metabolic processes like methanogenesis (methane production). Bacteria carry out photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and fermentation, while Eukarya perform complex processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Explanation (Roman Urdu): Archaea ka metabolism alag hota hai
