CASE BASED QUESTION

Read the given passage and answer the questions given.

TAXONOMY
Taxonomy is the study of the classification, characterization, nomenclature, and identification of
organisms and it is a branch of science. Systematics is another branch of science that includes the
study of the classification, nomenclature, identification, and evolutionary history of an organism.
Thus, the taxonomic characteristics of an organism along with its evolutionary history come
under systematics. In 1813, A.P de Candolle was the first to introduce the term taxonomy while
systematics was introduced as the time of human civilization. The term Systematics is derived
from the Latin word ‘systema’ which means the
systematic arrangement of organisms. Linnaeus (father of taxonomy) published his book
Systema Naturae where the classification of plants, animals were based on taxonomy.
Neo-systematics is the branch of systematics that deals with the species to be the product of
evolution. In 1940, Julia Huxley was the one who developed this concept. It involves the known
characteristics of an organism and the known evidence from different fields of biology.
Identification – It is the method of pacing the organisms in their exact place based on their
classification. The identification of organisms can be done with the help of taxonomic keys.
Classification – The classification is the process of grouping various living organisms based on
the common features that they share. A single group consists of those organisms that have
similar common features. To make classification easier various groups are forms in which
different organisms are placed depending upon their characteristics.
Characterization – The studying and understanding of characters of organisms and categorizing
them like external and internal structure (morphology and anatomy), the structure of the cell
(cytology), developmental process (embryology), and ecological information (ecology) of the
organism.

CASE BASED QUESTIONS

CORONA VIRUSES

Corona viruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from
the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A
novel corona virus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified
in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and
people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet
cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known
coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness
of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause
pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand
washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly
cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of
respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.

(i) Name the family of the virus to which new Corona virus belongs.
a) MERS-CoV b) SARS-CoV c) N-CoV d) D. CoV

(ii) Which part or organ system of human body is affected by corona virus?
A. Nervous system B. Muscular & skeletal system
C. Respiratory system D. Digestive system

(iii) Symptoms of corona virus infection resembles to which viral infection

in humans?
A. Chikungunya B. Common cold C. Herpes D. Hepatitis

(iv) What are the precautions that need to be taken to protect from the
corona virus?
A. Cover your nose and mouth when sneezing & wear mask securely when
outside.
B. Add more garlic into your diet.
C. Visit your doctor for antibiotics treatment
D. Wash your feet after every hour.

(v) Name the molecule which forms genome of Corona virus.

A. RNA B. ds RNA C. DNA D. Both DNA & RNA

(vi) How does Corona virus transmit?

A. When a person sneezes or coughs, droplets spread in the air or fall on the
ground and nearby surfaces.
B. If another person is nearby and inhales the droplets or touches these surfaces
and further touches his face, eyes or mouth, he or she can get an infection.
C. If the distance is less than 1 meter from the infected person.
D. All the above are correct.

2. THE BIOLOGICAL THREAT

Germ-for-germ, biological weapons are the deadliest weapons ever produced.

Germs don’t respect borders, so biological threats—manmade and naturally
occurring—can quickly have global impacts. Although only a few countries are
suspected of having biological weapons, rapidly producing and weaponizing
biological agents is surprisingly easy.
What's more, it's difficult to tell the difference between legitimate and harmful
biological research. Advances in the life sciences hold extraordinary promise for
new treatments and cures for disease, but the same knowledge—and equipment—
can be used to engineer deadly pathogens.
Rapid advances in biotechnology mean that most countries with pharmaceutical
and medical industries possess the knowledge and tools to develop biological
weapons. And as technology and know-how spread, the risk of improper lab safety
increases, with consequences ranging from hazardous lab accidents to the
unwitting development of “superbugs” that are beyond the control of public health
systems.
a) The term biological weapons includes-
(i) Microorganisms or natural toxins to produce disease in humans, animals orplants
(ii) Microorganisms used to produce treatment for human diseases
(iii) Pharmaceutical and medical technology for public health
(iv) Hazardous lab accidents

b) How biotechnology provides a tool for making bio weapons?

(i) It allows alteration at DNA level.
(ii) Does corona virus come into that category?
(iii) Biotechnology is future of science.
(iv) All the above

c) Germs don’t respect borders. What does it mean?

(i) Can quickly have global impact
(ii) Have no impact globally
(iii) Deadly but cannot spread from one country to another.
(iv) None of above.
 d) Advances in the life sciences hold extraordinary promise for new treatments and cures for
disease, but the same knowledge—and equipment—can be used to
engineer deadly pathogens.
(i) No (ii) Yes

e) Can biotechnology also helpful in diagnosis and control of deadlymicroorganisms?

(ii) No (ii) Yes
