ICSE Class 10 Biotechnology: Principles and Processes — Mock Test (2027)

Free online mock test for Biotechnology: Principles and Processes (ICSE Class 10 Zoology) — 74 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.

What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Biotechnology: Principles and Processes chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.

Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.

Sample questions

  1. 1.Negatively charged DNA fragments produced by restriction digestion are separated according to size by:
    • A.Gel electrophoresis
    • B.Centrifugation
    • C.Chromatography on a column
    • D.Spooling on a glass rod
  2. 2.Arrange the steps of separating and recovering DNA fragments after restriction digestion: (P) Elution from the gel piece (Q) Staining with ethidium bromide (R) Loading and running on agarose gel (S) Visualising orange bands under UV.
    • A.R, Q, S, P
    • B.Q, R, S, P
    • C.R, S, Q, P
    • D.P, R, Q, S
  3. 3.In the naming convention for restriction enzymes, in EcoRI from Escherichia coli RY13, the Roman numeral 'I' indicates:
    • A.The order in which the enzyme was isolated from that strain
    • B.The number of base pairs recognised
    • C.The number of copies per cell
    • D.The number of sticky ends produced
  4. 4.Assertion (A): A thermostable DNA polymerase is used in PCR. Reason (R): The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus, remains active during the high temperature induced denaturation of double-stranded DNA.
    • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
    • B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
    • C.A is true but R is false
    • D.A is false but R is true
  5. 5.In the exercise Explain briefly PCR, the molecules that are required to be complementary to the regions of DNA being amplified are the:
    • A.Primers (small chemically synthesised oligonucleotides)
    • B.Restriction enzymes
    • C.Ligases
    • D.Plasmids
