(iv) Tryptophan operon (try operon) in bacteria is a repressible operon. Here repressor is inactive and it becomes active as DNA binding protein only when c o m p l e x e d with a c o - r e p r e s s o r ( t r y p t o p h a n ) . In absence of tryptophan, the operator site is open to binding by RNA polymerase, which transcribes the structural genes of tryptophan operon, leading to production of enzymes that synthesize tryptophan. When tryptophan becomes available, the enzymes of tryptophan synthetic pathway are no longer needed and tryptophan ( c o - r e p r e s s o r ) - r e p r e s s o r c o m p l e x blocks transcription. Thus the regulation of this operon is a negative control.

1. (d) : Self fertilization is fusion of male and female gametes (sex cells) produced by the same individual. Self-fertilization occurs in bisexual organisms, including most flowering plants, numerous protozoans, and many invertebrates. Flukes are hermaphrodites, meaning each worm has both ovaries and testes. Probably cross fertilization is the rule, but self fertilization is certainly a possibility. In any case, it means that every individual is capable of producing fertilized eggs, certainly an advantage in species in which a high reproductive output is required.

5. (d) : Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a gram-negative soil bacterium that infects a wide range of plants and causes tumorous growths (galls), especially at the root/stem junction (crown gall). It is of interest because the bacterial cells contain a plasmid, the Ti plasmid (tumour-inducing plasmid), a segment of which is transferred to cells of the plant host. This T-DNA (transfer DNA) segment, which comprises the genes responsible for the tumorous growth, becomes integrated into the genome of infected plant cells. Possession of the Ti plasmid has made A. tumefaciens an important tool in genetic engineering for the introduction of foreign genes into plant tissue. 6. (a) : In each turn of the double helix structure of DNA, there are 10 base pairs each placed at a distance of 3.4 A.

(a) : Dedifferentiation is a phenomenon of reversion of ""BIOLOGY TODAY | JULY 07
differentiated cells or nuclei to n o n - d i f f e r e n t i a t e d ( o f t e n meristematic) cells or nuclei. 8. (b) : In dicotyledonous roots, a well developed pericycle lies below endodermis which gives rise to lateral roots, part of vascular cambium and whole cork cambium. Pericycle functions as the site of lateral root initiation. 9. (c) : A bulbourethral gland (or Cowper's gland) is one of two small exocrine glands present in the reproductive system of human males. They are homologous to Bartholin's glands in females. Bulbourethral glands are located posterior and lateral to the membranous portion of the urethra at the base of the penis, between the two layers of the fascia of the urogenital diaphragm, in the deep perineal pouch. The bulbourethral glands are compound tubuloalveolar glands, each approximately the size of a pea. During sexual arousal each gland produces a clear, viscous secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, and to help flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. 10. (c) : When the concentration of the soil solutes is low, the absorption of water is increased. This is due to diffusion of water inside the absorbing cell. This is because water moves from high concentration (of water) to low concentration (of water). So when the soil has less solute the water concentration must be more and thus absorption of water by the cell will be more at the relatively high content of water. 11. (a) : Lenticels are some loosely arranged areas in the periderm. Due to more activity of certain portions of phellogen, the phellem cells are cut off very rapidly and hence these cells are loosely arranged with much intercellular spaces. These loosely arranged cells are called complementary cells and loosely arranged areas in the periderm, are called lenticels. 12. (a) : Sterilization refers to any process that effectively kills or eliminates transmissible agents (such as fungi, bacteria, virus ana prions) from a surface, equipment, foods, medications or biological culture medium. Sterilization can be achieved through application of heat, chemicals, irradiation or filtration. A widely used method for heat sterilization is the autoclave. Autoclaves commonly use steam heated to 121°C (250°F), at 103 kPa (15 psi) above atmospheric pressure. Solid surfaces are effectively sterilized when in this temperature for at least 15 minutes or to 134°C for a minimum of 3 minutes. This method is used in sterilizing tissue culture medium. 13. (c) 14. (b) : Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an English naturalist. In 1831, Darwin got an opportunity to travel on H.M.S. Beagle (a ship in which Charles Darwin sailed around the world) for a voyage of world exploration. Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), another English naturalist, also travelled widely, and studied the fauna and flora of South America and South East Asia. Evolutionary ideas similar to those of Darwin developed in Wallace's mind. The thinking of both Darwin and Wallace in respect of organic evolution was similar. In 1859, Wallace's paper and a summary of Darwin theory together appeared in the Journal of the proceedings of Linnean Society. Finally in 1859, Darwin published his observations and conclusions under the name "Origin of species by Natural Selection".

15. (a) : History of auxins dates back to Darwin (1886). He took Avena seedling and placed it under a dark chamber with a hole (through which light enters). After sometimes the tip bent towards light (hole). But when the tip was cut, no bending was observed. Therefore, some substances are secreted in tip, due to which bending was there. The substances secreted in the tip are soluble in water (gelatin). The substances secreted in the tip are translocated downwards and caused cell elongation in half portion and hence bending was observed in opposite direction. F.W. Went was the first person to name these substances at tip as auxins. Auxins are the chemical substances which are responsible for elongation of shoot cells. Auxins predominantly show basipetal movement (from shoot apex to base), however, acropetal movement is also seen (from root to shoot). This is called polar transport of auxins. 16. (a) : The class deuteromycetes or deuteromycota is also known as "Fungi imperfecti". It is an artificial group, which lacks the sexual stages. 17. (b) : Krebs cycle is also called as citric acid cycle. It occurs in mitochondria and starts with 6 carbon compounds. The intermediate compound which links glycolysis with Krebs cycle is pyruvic acid. 18. (d) : Loss of half of the leaves of tree provide maximum harm to tree because rate of transpiration slows down and metabolic activity is also lowered but the plants remains alive in stressed condition. 19. (b) : In the given diagram ' D ' represent the vena cava. Vena cava is either of the two large veins that carry deoxygenated blood into the right atrium. 20. (b) 21. (d) : Edaphology is one of the two main branches of soil science, the other being pedology. Edaphology is concerned with the influence of soils on living things, particularly plants. The term is also applied to the study of how soil influences man's overall use of t h e land. G e n e r a l s u b f i e l d s within edaphology are agricultural soil science and environmental soil science. 22. (c) : Melatonin is a hormone derived from serotonin and secreted by the pineal gland and retinas of vertebrates. Melatonin secretion by the pineal is linked to the dark-light cycle of the organism's environment, being greatest at night and lowest by day. The hormone is involved in regulating certain diurnal and seasonal changes in the body, such as the reproductive cycle in seasonally breeding animals. Melatonin also controls pigmentation changes; it triggers aggregation of the pigment melanin into melanophores in the skin, causing the skin to turn pale. 23. (c) Tall plants with round seeds TTRR
Dwarf plants with wrinkled seeds ttrr

Therefore, the proportion of dwarf plants with wrinkled seed is zero. 24. (d) : The major carbohydrates making up the primary cell wall are cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. The cellulose microfibrils are linked via hemicellulose to form the cellulosehemicellulose network, which is embedded in the pectin matrix. The most common hemicellulose in the primary wall is xyloglucans. The three primary polymers that make up plant cell walls consist of about 35-50% cellulose, 20-35% hemicellulose and 10-25% lignin that fills the spaces in the cell wall between cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin components. 25. ( a ) : All members ofthe phylum Chordata exhibit the following four major morphological features at some stage of their life cycle.These are - notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and post-anal tail. The post-anal tail is a muscular region of the body that extends beyond the anus. In non-chordates the digestive tract usually extends the entire length of the body and the anus is typically positioned at the posterior end of the body (an earthworm is a good example of this type of body plan). The chordate post-anal tail includes skeletal support and musculature that improves the locomotion of many aquatic chordate species. 26. (b) : The term cytoplasm and nucleoplasm were given by Strasburger. Cytoplasm is a gelatinous, semi-transparent fluid that "fills" most cells. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus that is kept separate from the cytoplasm by a double membrane layer. The cytoplasm has three major elements; the cytosol, organelles and inclusions. The cytosol is the semi-transparent fluid in which the other cytoplasmic elements are suspended. Cytosol makes up about 80% of the cell and is composed of water, salts, organic molecules, and enzymes that are necessary for the cell to catalyze reactions. The organelles are the metabolic machinery o f t h e cell and are like little organs themselves. The inclusions are chemical substances that store nutrients, secretory products and pigment granules. The cytoplasm is the site where most cellular activities are done. All the functions for cell expansion, growth and replication are carried out in the cytoplasm o f t h e cell.The cytosol has enzymes that takes molecules and breaks them down , so that the individual organelles can use them as they need to. The cytosol also contains the cytoskeleton which gives the cell its shape and can help in the movement of the cell. Similar to the cytoplasm of a cell, the nucleus contains nucleoplasm or nuclear sap. It is enveloped by the nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope. The nucleoplasm is a highly viscous liquid that surrounds the c h r o m o s o m e s and nucleoli. M a n y substances such as nucleotides (necessary for purposes such as the replication of DNA) and enzymes (which direct activities that take place in the nucleus) are dissolved in the nucleoplasm. A network of fibres known as the nuclear matrix can also be found in the nucleoplasm. The nucleoplasm is partly made up of nucleohyaloplasm. 27. (b) : Thistle funnel whose mouth is tied with parchment paper is the physiological experiment of osmosis. Parchment paper is a semipermeable membrane which allows all solvents but no solute to pass through them. 28. (c) : Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway by which a 6-carbon glucose molecule is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvic acid. It is the initial process of most carbohydrate catabolism, and it serves three principal functions:
74
- The generation of high-energy molecules (ATP and NADH) as cellular energy sources as part of anaerobic and aerobic respiration. - Production of pyruvate for the citric acid cycle as part of aerobic respiration. - The production of a variety of six- and three-carbon intermediate compounds, which may be removed at various steps in the process for other cellular purposes. In eukaryotes and prokaryotes, glycolysis takes place within the cytosol of the cell. In plant cells some of the glycolytic reactions are also found in the Calvin-Benson cycle which functions inside the chloroplasts. The net gain of ATP during glycolysis is 2. In glycolysis (i) ATP produced by oxidation at substrate level. Step-6 : 1, 3, diphosphoglycerate to 3, phosphohlyceric acid ( 1 x 2 = 2) Step-9 : Phosphoenol pyruvate to Pyruvate (1 * 2 = 2) Total ATP produced (ii) ATP consumed Step-1 : Glucose to glucose-6-phosphate Step-3 : Fructose 6-phosphate to Fructose 1-6 diphosphate Total ATP consumed Net Gain of ATP (4 ATP - 2 ATP) = 2 ATP

29. (d) : Coronary heart disease is due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle. Main function of the coronary arteries is to supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle and remove C 0 2 and other metabolic wastes. But due to narrowing and hardening of these arteries due to accumulation of fatty deposits, lead to clot formation and resulting in the blockage of blood supply to a part of heart. These includes angina pectoris, heart attack and rheumatic heart disease. 30. (b) : Manas Wildlife Sanctuary, situated amidst the gentle slopes at the foothills of the Himalayas in India's northeastern state of Assam, is the only tiger reserve of its kind in the entire northeast. Apart from the rising population of tigers, Manas Wildlife Sanctuary is also the home of the rare golden langur, the hispid hare, the pigmy hog, the one-horned rhinoceros and at least twenty other species of animals and birds that are listed as highly endangered. Manas Wildlife Sanctuary derives its name from the Goddess Manasa. This beautiful Manas Wildlife Sanctuary was previously known as North Kamrup and was declared a sanctuary on October 1, 1928, with parts of it having been notified as reserved forests as early as 1907 and 1927. It was established as the core o f t h e Manas Tiger Reserve from April 1973 and consecutively inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1985 and elevated to the position of a National Park status on September 7, 1990. 31. (a) : C 0 2 has capacity of absorbing heat radiations and thus increases temperature. It does not allow the heat to radiate back to atmosphere. This increase in global temperature (global warming) which is mainly due to C 0 2 concentration is called green house effect. Besides C 0 2 , other important gases associated with green house effect are CH 4 , N 0 2 , CFC, and 0 3 . 32. (b) : Mutation is a sudden random change in the genetic material of a cell that may cause it and all cells derived from it differ in appearance or behaviour from the normal type. So, genetic ""BIOLOGY TODAY | JULY 07
material is DNA in most of the organisms and thus mutation brings in changes in the DNA of chromosomes. RNA and enzyme may also be affected by mutation as they occur inside cell and also RNA is genetic material in some organisms. But mutation does not affect environment. 33. (d) : In Hill's reaction, the experiment performed on Chlorella alga (unicellular green alga) using radioactive isotopes of oxygen, i.e., , 8 0 i.e., when normal H 2 0 and radioactive C 0 2 {i.e., C 1 8 0 2 ) were used, normal 0 2 is evolved. light C 1 8 0, + 2 H , 0 (CH20)+02 t + H20 chlorophyll (normal) C0 2 + 2H 2 , s O

O) were used,
34. (a) : Guttation occurs when transpiration rate is very low as compared to rate of water absorption. Due to this, root pressure is developed and water is pushed out through specialized pores at vein endings called hydathodes. So, guttation is not due to activity of hydathodes but due to root pressure. 35. (b) : Metatherians are pouched mammals or marsupials. Whereas eutherians are placental mammals with well developed placenta. 36. (d) : Population density is the total population within a geographic entity divided by the number of square miles of land area of that entity measured in square kilometers square meters or square miles. 37. (b) : The main excretory product of frog is urea but excretory product of tadpole larva is ammonia. The urea along with some unnecessary salts and water is collected into the urinary bladder in the form of urine. It will be stored there for some time and is sent out through cloaca. So frog is described as ureotelic animal. 38. (b) : Blue eye colour (bb) is recessive to brown eye colour (BB). The mother is blue eyed (bb) and son is brown eyed (Bb). So, the brown colour gene must come from father who is homozygous brown (BB). The cross will be as follows : bb (mother)
BB (father)
Son — Brown (homozygous). 39, (b) : The hypothesis proposed by Munch to explain the mechanism of solute transport, demands a turgor pressure gradient for translocation of food leading from the supplying tissue to the receiving tissue. He also suggests that the turgor gradient is chiefly dependent upon an osmotic gradient. 40. (b) ; Interferons are antiviral proteins. Alliac Issacs and Lindeman ( 1 9 5 7 ) gave the term interferons to the chemical substances responsible for viral interference. Interferons are 75" " B I O L O G YTODAY |APRIL07 ,
proteins molecules or polypeptides of low molecular weight which prevent viral multiplication. 41. (d) : When seed is soaked in water it shows swelling due to imbibition. First step in imbibition is absorption, ie., attachment of liquid on the surface. Imbibition is the first step in germination of seeds, ie., first imbibition occurs by seed coat and then by embryo and other parts. 42. (a) : A vulnerable species is a species which is likely to become endangered unless the circumstances threatening its survival and reproduction improve. There is a very small, non-representative fraction of the 8,565 species listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red list. 43. (a) : Inflammation is the defence reaction of tissue to injury, infection, or irritation by chemicals or physical agents. Cells in the affected tissue release various substances, including histamine, serotonin, kinins, and prostaglandins. These cause localized dilatation of blood vessels so that fluid leaks out and blood flow is increased. They also attract white blood cells (lymphocytes) to the site. Overall, these responses lead to swelling, redness, heat, and often pain. White blood cells, particularly phagocytes, enter the tissue and an immune response is stimulated. A gradual healing process usually follows. 44. (a) 45. (c) : Secretion of intestinal glands (which occurs as crypts of Leiberkuhn and Brunner's gland) are called succus entericus or intestinal juice. Intestinal juice refers to the clear to pale yellow watery secretions from the glands lining the small intestine walls. Secretion is stimulated by the mechanical pressure of partly digested food in the intestine. Its function is to complete the process begun by pancreatic juice; the enzyme trypsin exists in pancreatic juice in the inactive form trypsinogen, it is activated by the intestinal enterokinase in intestinal juice. Trypsin can then activate other protease enzymes and catalyze the reaction pro-col ipase —> colipase. Colipase is necessary, along with bile salts, to enable lipase function. Intestinal juice also contains hormones, digestive enzymes, mucus, substances to neutralize hydrochloric acid coming from the stomach and erepsin which further digests polypeptides into amino acids, completing protein digestion. 46. (b) : The C 4 plants have a characteristic leaf anatomy called kranz anatomy. Vascular bundles are surrounded by sheath of large parenchymatous cells called bundle sheaths, which are surrounded by mesophyll cells. Bundle sheath chloroplasts are larger in size, lack grana and contain starch grains whereas mesophyll chloroplasts lack starch grains. The calvin cycle or C 0 2 fixation occurs in bundle sheath chloroplast where carbohydrate is formed. The mesophyll chloroplast converts C 0 2 to OAA to malic acid which is transported to bundle sheath for Calvin cycle. 47. (4) : The lac operon is an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in Escherichia coli and some other enteric bacteria. It consists of three adjacent structural genes, a promoter, a terminator, and an operator. The lac operon is regulated by several factors including the availability of glucose and of lactose. Gene regulation of the lac operon was the first genetic regulatory mechanism to be elucidated and is often used as the canonical example of prokaryotic gene regulation. The three structural genes are: lacZ, lacY, and lacA. 63
• lac Z encodes (LacZ), an intracellular enzyme that clcaves the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose. • lacY encodes (3-galactoside permease (LacY). a membrane bound transport protein that pumps lactose into the cell. • lacA encodes thiogalactoside transcyclase (LacA), an enzyme that transfers an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to p-galactosides. Only lacZ and lacY appear to be necessary for lactose catabolism. 48. (c) : Fruit of tomato is called berry, developed from mono or multicarpellary superior or inferior syncarpous ovary with axile or parietal placentation. Pericarp is distinguished into three layers - epicarp forms the skin of fruits. Mesocarp is fleshy and endocarp is hard and stony. Hence, pericarp and placentae are edible part of tomato. 49. (b) : The given figure of Amoeba shows the process of phagocytosis. Amoeba is carnivorous and its mode of nutrition is holozoic, i.e., it feeds by phagocytosis, a mechanism in which the food is engulfed in a solid form. The food consists of flagellates, ciliates and rotifers. Amoeba, even in the absence of special sense organs, is able to select its food. Amoeba captures and engulfs its prey by means of pseudopodia. Pseudopodia arc formed at the points where the food comes in contact with the surface of body. The food vacuole or the gastric vacuole, formed by the extension and joining of the pseudopodia that capture the prey, is comparable to the gut of higher animals. Its membrane will resemble in all respects the plasmalemma. Several such vacuoles, small and large, may be seen in an actively feeding Amoeba. Lysosomes containing digestive enzymes fuse with the food vacuole and the digestion of contained food organism slowly proceeds. It has been demonstrated that the reaction in the food vacuole is first acidic and later on becomes alkaline. This suggests that in the acidic medium, the organism is killed and in the alkaline medium the digestion of starch, proteins and fats takes place by the enzymes amylase, protease and lipase, respectively. As digestion goes on, the food vacuoles shrink and the products of digestion arc diffused into the cytoplasm. The digested food is assimilated to form new protoplasm. 50. (b) : Essential elements are indespensible for growth of plants. Plants are not able to grow normally and hence unable to complete their life cycle in the absence of essential element. It cannot be replaced by other element and it plays direct role in metabolism of plant. 51. (d) : The residual volume is that part o f t h e air in the lung which cannot be exhaled; it represents the remaining volume of lung when forced exhalation of the lung has occurred. It is calculated by subtracting expiratory reserve volume from functional residual capacity. The residual volume is usually 20-25% of total lung capacity. The residual volume increases in difiuse airway obstruction. In this situation there is also an increase in the ratio of residual volume to total lung capacity. The value of residual volume is about 1200 ml. The value of tidal volume is about 500 ml. The value of inspiratory reserve volume is about 3000 ml. The value of vital capacity is about 4600 ml. 52. (b) 53. (a) : Blood is a highly specialized circulating tissue consisting of several types of cells suspended in a fluid medium known as plasma. The cellular constituents are: red blood cells (erythrocytes), which carry respiratory gases and give it its red colour because they contain haemoglobin (an iron-containing protein that binds
76
oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues in the body), white blood cells (leucocytes), which fight disease, and platelets (thrombocytes), cell fragments which play an important part in the clotting of the blood. Neurons (also known as neurons and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. Parts of neuron are -soma (body ofthe cell), dendrites (receive messages), and axon (sends messages). Synapses are specialized junctions through which cells of the nervous system signal to one another and to non-neuronal cells such as muscles or glands. Lymph is a pale liquid consisting chiefly of plasma and white blood cells and circulates throughout the lymphatic system, returning to the venous bloodstream through the thoracic duct. Lymph acts to remove bacteria and certain proteins from the tissues, transport fat from the small intestine, and supply mature lymphocytes to the blood. 54. (d) : Pollen grains contain the male gametophyte produced by tneiosis of microspore mother cells that are located along the inner edge of the microsporangia (anther sacs). The outer part of the pollen is exine, which is composed of a complex polysaccharide; sporopollenin. Inner part is intine. The cell contains vegetative cell which develop into the pollen tube and germ pore and generative cell (degenerative) are also present. 55. (c) : All vertebrates except cold-water ice fish transport oxygen via haemoglobin packaged in red blood cells (RBCs). Vertebrate RBCs vary in size by thirtyfold. Differences in RBC size have been known for over a ccntury, but the functional significance of RBC size remains unknown. One hypothesis is that large RBCs are a primitive character. Agnathans have larger RBCs than do mammals. However, the~ largest RBCs are found in urodele amphibians which is inconsistent with the hypothesis that large RBCs are primitive. 56. (d) : A nucleic acid is a complex, high-molecular-weight biochemical macromolecule composed of nucleotide chains that convey genetic information. The most common nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleic acids are found in all living cells and viruses. Nucleic acids also occur in semiautonomous bodies like mitochondria and chloroplasts. 57. (d) : Mitotic cell division is equatiqnal division where a mother cell divides to form 2 daughter cells. So to produce 256 cells from a single cell, 8 mitotic divisions will occur which can be represented as 1 —» 2 —» 4 —> 8 —> 16 —> 32 —> 64 —> 128 —> 256. 58. (a) 59. (a): Auxins induces new root formation by breaking root apical dominance induced by cytokinins. High concentrations of auxin inhibit root elongation and instead cnhance adventitious root formation. Removal of the root tip can lead to inhibition of secondary root formation. In tissue culture low cytokinin to high auxin ratio induces differentiations of roots. 60. (d)

combination of parental traits to be inherited as such. It is rare but has been reported in male Drosophila and some other heterogametic individuals. Example : a red eyed normal winged (wild type) pure breeding female Drosophila is crossed to homozygous recessive purple eyed and vestigial winged male. The progeny or F, generation individuals are heterozygous red eyed and normal winged. When F, males are test crossed to homozygous recessive female (purple eyed and vestigial winged), only two types of individuals are produced - red eyed normal winged and purple eye vestigial winged in the ratio of 1.: 1 (parental phenotypes only). Similarly inbreeding of Fq, recombinant types are absent. In practice, this 1 : 1 test ratio is never achieved because total linkage is rare. SI. no.

Placenta is a temporary endocrine gland. It secretes some hormones like oestrogens, progesterone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), human chorionic somatomammotropin HCS (formerly known as human placental lactogen)', chorionic thyrotropin, chorionic corticotropin and relaxin. The globin portion of haemoglobin A (HbA) consists of two a-chains and two (3-chains (a2(32). Each a-chain contains 141 amino acids while (3-chain contains 146 amino acids. The four subunits of haemoglobin are held together by non-covalent interactions primarily hydrophobic, ionic and hydrogen bonds. Each subunit contains a heme group. Hem contains a porphyrin molecule mainly protoporphyrin IX with iron at its center. Photosynthesis is called an anabolic process because in this process glucose (C 6 H 12 0 6 ) molecules are synthesised from atmospheric carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) and soil water (H 2 0) with conservation of photonic energy (energy from sun) of the visible wave length of sunlight as a biochemical energy within the complex glucose molecules.

Many auxins have been synthesized and some examples of synthetic auxins are indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4D), 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4, 5 -T). Auxins like IAA, I PA, NAA and IBA are commercially used to induce parthenocarpy in banana, orange, citrus, guava etc. Sodium bicarbonate, sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate are the bile salts that help in the digestion of fats in the small intestine by bringing about their emulsification. 7. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released by axon terminals in a synaptic cleft to transmit nerve impulse, for e.g. acetylcholine, GABA etc. Neurohormones are the hormones that are produced not by an endocrine gland but by a specialized nerve cell and are secreted from nerve endings into the bloodstream or directly to the tissue or organ whose growth or function they control. Examples of. neurohormones are noradrenaline, antidiuretic hormone and hormones associated with metamorphosis and moulting in insects.

(a) The given figure shows the V.T.S of Dryopteris leaflet through a sorus. The part labeled as A' is true indusium and 'B' is sporangium (b) The given figure shows conidiophore of Aspergillus, which is also called Eurotium. The parts labelled as (C) and (D) are called vesicle and primary sterigmata or phialides respectively. (c) The given figure shows a type of free-floating hydrophytes called Salvinia and the labelled part 'E' is submerged leaves. (d) (i) The given figure shows epigynous condition of flower. In this, ovary or gynaecium is said to be inferior while other floral organs are called superior, eg : apple, sunflower, guava and cucumber. (ii) Refer Ans. above (i) (e) The given figure shows the ventral view of microsporophyll of Cycas and the labelled part 'F' and 'G' are called apophysis and sori respectively. (i) Cucurbita, Guava (ii) Marselia, Nymphaea (iii) Cycades, Vallisneria (iv) Nilgiri, Karnataka (a) Nudeosome, i.e., subunit of chromatin is an octamer of histones (2 molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H 4 ) with DNA of 200 base pairs, i.e., nudeosome is made of core of eight molecules of histones wrapped by double helical DNA with 1% turns making a repeating unit. (b) Ribozyme or catalytic RNA is a type of RNA molecule that can catalyze changes to its own molecular structure. Self-splicing introns are examples of ribozymes. Cech et al discovered it in a ciliated protozoan called Tetrahymena thermophila. (c) Genetically modified crops contain and express one or more useful foreign genes or transgenes. Its four main objectives are: (i) They are resistant to pest (ii) They are more tolerant to abiotic stresses such as cold, draught, salt, heat etc. (iii) They enhance nutritional value of food eg. vitamin A enriched rice. (iv) They also help to reduce post harvest losses. (d) Phellogen originates from hypodermis or outer cortical cells in stems and gives rise to phellem or cork cells on outer side and'phelloderm or secondary cortex on inner side. While in root phellogen layer is differentiated into pericycle or cortex, which cuts of few phellem cells on outer side and phelloderm on inner side and thus protective layer is formed. (e) The primary atypical pneumonia is any one of a group of community - acquired pneumonia that do
not respond to penicillin. This is due to the fact that it is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae which lacks cell-wall in its structure, Due to the absence of cellwall, it is resistant to enzymes and penicillin.

The fundamental difference in these two groups is that a lytic phage kills (lyses) its host bacterium very soon after the initial infection, resulting in the release of progeny phages, whereas a lysogenic phage has a choice between two life styles after infection : either it can follow a lytic course (kills the host cell and produces many progeny), or alternatively it can enter the lysogenic pathway. ( 0 A living place of an organism is called its habitat while niche includes habitat as well as functional role of an organism in the community, i.e., trophic structure. Thus ecological niche is the profession of the species. (a) The amount of nutrients such as P, S, C, N, H etc., present at any given time in the environment of an ecosystem, is known as the standing state or standing quality. The amount of living material, present in a component population at any time, is known as the standing crop, which may be expressed in terms of numbers or weight per unit area. Biomass is the standing crop expressed in terms of weight'(i.e. organism mass) of the living matter present. (c) During photosynthesis Chlorobium is capable of synthesizing their organic food in presence of light and in absence of 0 2 . The equations of reaction is: Chlorobium chlorophyll CO, + 2H,A 2

cell wall is peptidoglycan or mucopeptide or murein, while the cell wail of Methanococcus doesn't contain cellulose or peptidoglycan. It contains proteins and non cellulosic polysaccharides. (e) In Claviceps ascospores are produced in small, thinwalled sac-like units called asci. These ascospores are endogenous in origin. In Agaricus a typical basidium bears four basidiospores which arise exogenously. 8.

(b) Black or stem rust is caused by Puccinia graminis tritici. Its life cycle starts with following spores in sequence: uredospores —> teleutospores —> basidiospores —> pycniospores aecidiospores. (c) Bt toxin is a toxic insecticidal protein obtained from a soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis.lhe Bt toxin proteins exist as inactive protoxins but once an insect ingests the inactive toxin it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of the alimentary canal that soiublizes the crystals. The activated toxin binds to the surface of midgut epithelial cells and create pores which cause cell swelling and lysis and finally cause death of the insect. (d) Monascus purpureus is the source of statins. Its ingredients called monacolin K inhibit the production of cholesterol by stopping the action of a key enzyme in the liver (e.g. HMG-CoA reductase) that is responsible for manufacturing cholesterol. (e) VAM haustoria or vesicular - arbuscular mycorrhizas has derived the name vesicular arbuscular from structures formed by the infecting fungus in host tissue. Ectomycorrhiza

This shows that this family has never had an affected girl because we know that this disease occurs only in homozygous recessive condition. So phenylketonuria is not possible.
13. (a) The given figure is of elbow or hinge joint which is a type of synovial joint. The part labelled as 1, 2, 3 and 4 are called humerus, hyaline articular cartilage, synovial fluid and synovial membrane. (b) Hyaline articular cartilage which forms articular surfaces at the joints consists largely of glycosaminoglycan, giving it a shiny glass like appearance. This gives flexibility and support at the joints. Synovial fluid is a thick sticky fluid secreted by synovial membrane. This acts as a lubricant to the joint, provides nutrient materials for the structures within the joint cavity and helps to maintain the stability of the joint. (c) Besides connective tissue, striated or striped or skeletal muscular tissue is present which helps in contraction of muscle and thus helps in movement. (d) The other such joint found in our body is knee joint which occurs between the end of the femur, the top of the tibia and the back of the patella and the structure which is analogous to part (1) is femur. (i) The parts labelled as 3,4, 5 and 6 in the given figure are —> Bowman's capsule, ascending limb of Henle's loop, collecting duct and proximal convoluted tubule. (ii) Bowman's capsule helps in the process of ultrafiltration or glomerular filtration. (iii) Ultrafiltration is one of the important processes of urine formation. It is filtration under pressure and this pressure is high. It is high because glomerular capillaries are narrower than the afferent renal arteries.'These glomerular capillaries rejoin to form an efferent arteriole by which a reduce volume of blood leaves the glomerulus. So if diameter of '2' i.e. efferent arteriole is made double to the part '1' i.e. afferent arteriole, ultrafiltration will not occur. (b) If the prostate gland is enlarged in old age, it frequently blocks the urethra and makes urination painful or difficult.

15. (a) The correct sequence of given ear ossicles is malleus, incus and stapes. These ear ossicles transmit the vibrations from tympanic membrane to the internal ear and also amplify them about ten times. (b) According to the body organisation and symmetry following are the differences between Ctenophora and Echinodermata :
Symmetry is biradial (2) along an oral-aboral axis.
(d) P-wave and QRS complex represent an electrocardiogram of heart which is a graphic record of the electric current produced by the excitation of the cardiac muscles. P wave is a small upward wave that indicates the depolarization ofthe atrial contraction and is caused by the activation of SA node. QRS wave complex represents ventricular depolarisation and is caused by the impulses of the contraction from AV node. (e) According to location and function following are the difference between corpus callosum and corpus luteum: Corpus callosum
Corpus luteum
(1)
it is broad band of ner- (1) vous tissue that connects the two cerebral hemispheres containing an estimated 300 million fibres.
It is glandular tissue in the ovary that forms at the site of a ruptured Graffian follicle after ovulation.
(2)
It enables the transfer (2) of information from one cerebral hemisphere to the other.
It secretes the hormone progesterone which prepares the uterus for implantation.

devices which are used as birth control devices. The copper ions released reduces sperm motility and its fertilising capacity. The hormones released makes the uterus unstable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms. (c) Klinefelter^ syndrome is a genetic disorder which occurs due to trisomy of sex chromosome which shows gynaecomastia like character and its karyotype is 44 + XXY i.e., individual has 47 chromosome. (d) Colostrum is the first secretion from the breast occurring shortly after or sometimes before birth prior to the secretion of true milk. This is yellowish fluid that contains cells from the alveoli and are rich in protein and low in fat. It is rich in antibodies (Ig A is the major immunoglobulin) and provides passive immunity to the new born infant. (e) The sequence of accessory ducts in human testis after seminiferous tubules is rete testis vas efferentia —> caput epididymis —» cauda epididymis vas deferens - » urethra. 17. (a) Kangaroo rat may live whole life without water, urea is the main excretory product. (b) Diesel automobile S02, suspended particulate matter (c) Methemoglobinaemia excess nitrates in water, can be fatal to infant (d) Endangered species —> wolf, wild ass, Red panda, Great Indian bustard (e) Ozone hole —> CFC 18.

A Pioneering Indian Scientist Remembered 150th birth anniversary of J.C. Bose at Cambridge University The 150th birth anniversary of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was commemorated jointly by Christ's College and the World Institute of Advanced Study, New Delhi, at Christ's College, Cambridge, on December 6. Christ's, one of the oldest colleges of the University of Cambridge, has the distinction of having had on its rolls Charles Darwin, John Milton and many other distinguished achievers including J.C. Bose over the years. J.C. Bose (1858-1937) was a pioneer in the field of electromagnetic waves and is widely regarded as the first scientist who demonstrated the phenomenon of wireless transmission of electromagnetic waves. The Daily Chronicle of England noted in 1896: "J.C. Bose has transmitted signals to a distance of nearly a mile and herein lies the first and obvious and exceedingly valuable application of this new theoretical marvel. Bose was also the first to use a semi-conducting crystal as a detector of radio waves." A symposium titled" Beyond Boundaries: from Physics to Plant Sciences," was organized to mark the occasion. Also, a beautiful bust of Bose sculpted by Biman Behari Das was unveiled at the college by Indian High Commissioner Shiv Shankar Mukherjee. In his welcome remarks, Professor Frank Kelly, Master, Christ's College, recalled'the contributions J.C. Bose made to Physics and Physiology. The symposium dealt with different aspects of trans-boundary research involving both advanced physics and Sir Jagdish Chandra advanced plant physiology. Dr. E.C. George Sudarshan gave a talk on "Bose's Work on Radio Waves." In his address titled, "Green Genes to Manage Global Warming," Professor M.S. Swaminathan pointed out that Bose's work on plant response to stress and stimulus has opened up new apportunities in the area of stress physiology to develop crop varieties that are tolerant to drought, floods and salinity which are some ofthe serious consequences of climate change. His work on Mimosa and Desmodium helped establish that plants respond to stress and stimuli much the same way animals do. Bose explained why the lotus opens its petals at sunrise and closes them at sunset. His remarakable experiments endeared Bose to Rabindranath Tagore, Profulla Chandra Ray, Gopalakrishna Gokhale, Mahatma Gandhi and Sister Nivedita in India, and George Bernard Shah and Romain Rolland outside India. Professor Swaminathan referred to Bose as the Architect of the Voice of Life and pointed out how his scientific findings strengthen the view that nonviolence to nature should become a non-negotiable human ethic. This message is of contemporary relevance in the context of growing violence in the human heart. The recognition of Bose's contributions to both Physics and Physiology by his alma mater, Christ's College, is a matter of pride for all Indian scientists and other scholars, he added. Professor Swaminathan said the bust of Bose will remind generations of scholars at the University of Cambridge of the original and significant scientific findings ofthe great Indian scientist, who established the Bose Institute in Kolkata in November 1917. He was the third Indian to be elected a Fellow ofthe Royal Society, in 1920, after Ardaseer Cursetjee (1841) and Srinivasa Ramanujam (1918). Sir C. V. Raman, the fourth Indian to be thus elected, in 1924, also devoted his scientific genius in marrying physics and physiology. Christ's College will commemorate the Darwin Bicentenary on February 12,2009. Courtesy-The Hindu BIOLOGY TODAY | JANUARY'19417

Shanghai : More than 1,000 applicants were caught cheating on China's civil servant exams, with some using spy technology such as micro-earpieces and wireless transmitters, state media reported on Monday. More than 300 were caught in the act during the November 30 exam, while about 700 others were deemed to have cheated because their papers "shared much conformity," the official Xinhua news agency reported. The State Bureau of Civil Servants' announcement that a record number of cheaters were caught highlights the difficulties for China's ruling Communist Party in stamping out rampant corruption among its ranks. More than half used technology provided by illegal organisations that provided answers in exchange for money. Some high-tech cheaters used carefully disguised wireless transmitters to obtain answers, while others received radio signals through tiny earpieces. BIOLOGY TODAY MARCH '09 •

SECTION B A nuclear envelope in eukaryotes separates events taking place in the nucleus from events taking place in the rest of the cell.This prevents one metabolic pathway from interfering with another and promotes efficiency in the chemical reactions of each pathway. Nuclear envelope also functions to protect the genetic material from damage, by preventing potentially damaging chemicals from gaining access to the chromosome. Fungi differ from plants in their mode of nutrition, reserve food material and composition of cell walls. They are heterotrophic organisms which derive their nutrients mainly by absorption from the surrounding medium due to lack of chlorophyll. They are essentially the decomposers and mineralisers of the biosphere. The reserve food material is glycogen and fat as in animals. The cell wall is generally composed of chitin. Therefore, fungi should not be included in plant kingdom. It is not possible to use homozygous dominant individuals in a test cross to determine the genotype of an individual showing the recessive phenotype, because always dominant gene will express itself. So we will not be able to determine the genotype of a recessive individual.

(a) In the descending limb of loop of Henle, because of high osmotic pressure of medullary extracellular fluid, Na + enters the tubule. In the ascending limb of loop of Henle, Na + , K+ and some C f ions are reabsorbed actively. (b) Systemic blood circulation will be affected. 8. The advantages of C4 cycle over C3 cycle are (i) More efficient photosynthesis. (ii) Absence of photorespiration. (iii) Ability to assimilate C0 2 at very low concentrations. (iv) Greater ability to withstand water stress because of the bundle sheath cells being located close to the xylem vessels. 9. The features of bird pollinated flowers are : (i) They produce large amount of nectar. Humming birds feed on the nectar of flowers like Bignonia capreolata. (ii) Bright colours of flowers attract birds from long distances, e.g., Bombax malabarica (Silk cotton). (iii) Another unique feature of these flowers is the presence of certain sticky, thread-like structures in the anther cavity, each holding hundreds of pollen grains. When a bird visits these flowers, the pollen-laden threads get attached to its breast or belly and move with it from flower to flower. 10. Primary productivity refers to the rate of production of biomass or organic matter per unit area over a time period by the producers in an ecosystem. Various factors which affect primary productivity include light, temperature, water, nutrients, etc. In deserts, sunlight is abundant but water is scarce or nutrients are lacking. Therefore, in such areas, water and nutrient supply become the limiting factor. Productivity increases from polar regions towards the tropics because of the increasing sunlight and temperature. • •

3. (a) The ability of a gene to have multiple phenotypic effect because it influences a number of characters simultaneously is known as pleiotropy. Hereditary disease sickle-cell anaemia is an example of pleiotropy. (b) Linkage is the tendency for two different genes on the same chromosome to remain together during the separation of homologous chromosomes at meiosis.

5. (a) Pyramid of energy is a graphic representation of amount of energy trapped per unit time and area in different trophic levels of a food chain with producers forming the base and top carnivores the tip. The energy content is expressed as kcal/m2/yr or KJ/m2/yr. These are most fundamental and indicate overall nature of ecosystem. Pyramid of energy is always upright in all types of ecosystem as energy goes on decreasing with each and every trophic level. (b) The amount of energy accumulation in green plants as biomass or organic matter per unit area over a time period through the process of photosynthesis is known as primary productivity. Thus primary productivity is the rate of synthesis of organic matter by producers whereas net primary productivity is the amount of organic matter stored by producers per unit time and area. Besides primary productivity is comparatively quite high. (c) Dry, freezed storage of germplasm at-196°C (liquid nitrogen) is called cryopreservation. Under these conditions, there is near stoppage of all biological activities and further there are no chances of genetic changes. This method is not used for plant germplasm. (d) Reducing disaccharide is maltose and non-reducing disaccharide is sucrose. (e) Zwitterion (or dipolar ion) is a hybrid molecule containing positive and negative ionic groups. The amino acids rarely exist in a neutral form with free carboxylic (-COOH) and free amino (-NH 2 ) groups. In strongly acidic pH (low pH), the amino acid is positively charged (cation) while in strongly alkaline pH (high pH), it is negatively charged (anion). Each amino acid has a characteristic pH (e.g., leucine, pH 6.0) at which it carries both positive and negative charges and exists as zwitterion. (f) The five polar amino acids with no charge on side chain are - glycine, serine, threonine, glutamine and asparagine.

7. (a) If several plants are collected at the same time, one is the holotype and others are designated as isotypes, i.e., isotype is duplicate of holotype. When all the material on which description of new species based is missing, then the new specimen or element selected to serve as nomenclatural type is called neotype. (b) Crossing over is an exchange of portions of chromatids between two non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. The essential features of crossing over are as follows: (i) Only two of the four chromatids cross over, while the other two chromatids preserve their original constitution. (ii) The crossing over occurs between the nonsister chromatids of the homologous pair of chromosomes. (iii) The number of chiasmata per set of chromosomes depends upon the length of chromosomes. The longer are the chromosomes, the greater is the number of chiasmata. (iv) Chances of crossing over are more if the genes are located farther apart. The more is the distance between the genes, the greater is the opportunity of chiasma formation. (c) The fresh weight of a plant is more in the early morning due to accumulation of water in the cells and absence of transpiration in the previous night. (d) Chlorosis

The most important role of Krebs' cycle is to provide energy for various catabolic processes in plants. It also provides carbon skeleton or raw materials for various anabolic processes as many intermediates of Krebs' cycle are further metabolised to produce amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids or other important metabolites. For example, succinyl CoA is used for synthesis of aromatic porphyrins which give rise to cytochrome, phytochrome and head of chlorophyll molecule; oxalo acetic acid gives rise to aspartate and a-ketoglutarate gives rise to glutamate.

(a) In an electrical synapse, action potentials move from presynaptic to postsynaptic membranes in a fashion similar to the conduction of the impulse along an axon. In such a junction, the synaptic cleft is so narrow that electric currents generated by the action potentials in the presynaptic membrane flow across the gap (through a gap junction) to the postsynaptic membrane, where they affect voltage-sensitive ion channels and produce action potentials. Such synapses are found in invertebrates and vertebrates. In chemical synapses, the synaptic cleft is too wide for electric current to pass directly between the membranes. Instead, the action potential message is transmitted to the postsynaptic membrane by a variety of neurotransmitter molecules that diffuse across the cleft. (b) The axons of vertebrate neurons are myelinated, and thereby insulated, by glial cells that have their plasma membranes wrapped tightly around the axons. However, the nodes of Ranvier - each located at the junction of two glial cells - are exposed. With the axon insulated by myelination except at the nodes of Ranvier, the action potential jumps from node to node (saltatory) instead of moving continuously along the axon. It jumps in this way because the lateral flow of Na + ions from each action potential can only depolarize adjacent membrane at the uninsulated nodes. This movement from node to node is called saltatory conduction and it is much faster and more energy-efficient-than conduction in unmyelinated axons of the same diameter. (c) Hepatic portal system is a system made of a portal vein and the capillary complex formed by it in a liver. It occurs in all vertebrates. Posterior mesenteric, anterior mesenteric, duodenal and lineogastric join to form hepatic portal vein. It pours blood from digestive system into the liver. This blood is collected by hepatic veins and poured into post caval to be returned to the heart. This system function as a short circuit for (i) Removal of glucose, amino acids and other nutrients. (ii) Deamination of extra amino acids and conversion of harmful ammonia into urea. (iii) Separation of chemicals and their detoxification. (iv) Direct pouring of liver product into venous blood. (a) A - neurotransmitter B - synaptic cleft C - synaptic vesicles D - presynaptic membrane (b) Function of 'A' - » Neurotransmitter is a chemical that mediates transmission of a nerve impulse across a synapse or a neuromuscular junction. The neurotransmitter is released at the synaptic knob at the tip of the axon into the synaptic cleft. It diffuses across the opposite membrane (the postsynaptic membrane), where it stimulates receptors and initiates the propagation of a nerve impulse in the next neuron. At a neuromuscular junction, the neurotransmitter transmits impulses to the muscle-fibre membrane. Function of 'C' —> This stores neurotransmitter.

When the mycelia of both the mating types are present in the same medium, they produce <2) ..... by the reaction, which stimulate the mycelia to form special types of subaerial hyphae called <4> which in the region of contact produces a club shaped outgrowth called due to the reaction. Both the opposite strained structure 5 remain in contact at their terminal ends and each of them is multinucleate and aseptate, hence is also (7) called a The terminal swollen part is (8) distinguished as a by the laying down of a septum at its base, due to which suspensor is formed. The protoplast of it behaves as a The contact wall between the two dissolved due to which the cytoplasms of two fuse together. The opposite strained nuclei come pair together. The paired nuclei fuse together to form diploid nuclei (karyogamy) as a result of which a diploid multinucleate structure called (10' is formed. This secretes a hard wall around itself to form a resting spore called (11> which is a dark brown or black .This method of sexual reproduction in Rhizopus is called

(a) Mass selection - In this method, plants are selected based on their desirable morphological characters (phenotype). Their seeds are composite or mixed and the progenies are grown in masses. They are not individually tested. After repeated selection for about five to six years, selected seeds are multiplied and distributed to farmers. The only disadvantage of mass selection is that it is difficult to distinguish hereditary .variation from environmental variation. (b) Pure line selection - A pure line is a collection of plants obtained as a result of repeated self-pollination from a single homozygous individual. Hence, a variety formed by this method shows more homozygosity with respect to all genes. One disadvantage is that new genotypes are never created by this method. Genetic variability is essential for adaptations in different environmental and seasonal conditions. (c) Clonal selection - Crops like sugarcane, potato, tea, banana and certain species of grasses are asexually propagated and produce very poor seeds. Based on their phenotypic appearance, the method of clonal selection is employed to select improved variety from a mixed population (clones). Selected plants are multiplied through vegetative propagation to give rise to a clone. The genotype of a clone remains unchanged for a long period of time. (d) The superiority of the F, hybrid in performance over its parents is called heterosis or hybrid vigour. Vigour refers to increase in growth, yield, resistance to diseases, pests and drought. (e) When two individuals ofthe same species are crossed, it is called inbreeding or selfing or self-pollination. This results in the increase of homozygosity. Particularly homozygous recessive alleles develop loss of vigor in plants.

Prof. Siddharth Sanghvi Having experience of 11 years, he started teaching for medical entrance at the age of 17 years in 1997, that time he was himself a PMT aspirant. After cracking PMT he opted for teaching as a profession and now it has become a passion for him. He has worked with different institute of indore and kota in the span of 11 years as a faculty member of biology. Presently he is working with Rankers point as a HOD of Botany. His expert guidance has helped his student in securing TOP Ranks in different medical entrance. Cell - 09425107550, Web : www.wxyz.in,[email protected] (c) Thylakoids The lamellae, after separation from the inner membrane, usually takes the form of closed, flattened, ovoid sacs, the thylakoids, which lie closely packed in piles, the grana. A thylakoid encloses a very narrow intrathylakoid space bounded by a unit membrane. The thylakoids of adjacent grana are interconnected by branching, membranous tubules termed frets, or stromal lamellae. The later are also called intergranal thylakoids. A chloroplast may have 40 to 100 grana in its matrix. A granum is composed to 20-50 thylakoids in the chloroplasts of higher plants. Algae have a few thylakoids that do not form grana. They are said to be agranal. The thylakoid membrane contains photosynthetic pigments, namely, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids (carotene, xanthophylls) and plastoquinone. The pigments occur in groups termed

(v) Education and research - Each biosphere reserve supports education of information about research, restoration, conservation and development aspects at the national and global levels. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are able to renew themselves and produce all the specialized cells within an organ. Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by two important characteristics: (i) They are unspecialised cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, some times even after long period of inactivity. (ii) Under certain physiological or exprimental conditions they can be induced to become tissue or organ specific cells with special functions. E.g., In gut and bone marrow, stem ceils regularly divide to repair and replace worn out tissue. In other organs such as pancreas and heart, stem cells only divide under special conditions. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin or pitressin is ' secreted from the posterior lobe of pituitary gland.This hormone has two main functions. (i) Antidiuretic effect: It increaes the reabsorption of water from kidney. (ii) Pressor effect: Involuntary muscles in the walls of intestine,
gall bladder, urinary bladder and blood vessels are stimulated to contract by ADH. ADH raises the blood pressure by contracting the walls of the blood vessels, hence its name is vasopressin. At the end of p-oxidation of fatty acid 2 molecules of acetyl • coenzymes and thioester of the remaining fatty acid chain are produced. Spermiogenesis is the process of differentiation of immature sperm (spermatid) to matured spermatozoa. The different changes which occur during spermiogenesis are : (i) Formation of acrosome by Golgi apparatus (ii) Elongation and condensation of nucleus (iii) Formation of axial filament and distal centriole (iv) Development of mitochondrial spiral around upper part of axial filament (v) Differentiation of a limiting membrane and formation of flagellum After spermiogenesis sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells and are finally released from the seminiferous tubule by the process called spermiation. Sertoli cells are present in between the germinal epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules. Sertoli cells provide nourishment to developing spermatozoa, hence called nurse cells.

ANSWERS
1. (i) (a) — v, vii (b)-iii, ix, x (c) - i, iv (d) - viii (ii) Typhlosole - Annelida, Radulla -Mollusca, Choanocytes - Porifera . (a) Banyan tree (Ficus bengalensis) shows hypanthodium type of inflorescence formed by the condensation of main axis into a cup or flask-shaped fleshy receptacle with a small opening which is guarded by scales.The cavity of hypanthodium bears three kinds of flowers - male flowers, female flowers and neuter flowers. All the flowers arranged inside the cavity in cymose groups, so some person say, there are no flowers in banyan tree. (b) Hot spots are areas of rich biodiversity which have been declared sensitive due to direct or indirect interference of human activities. The two main characteristics for determining a hot spot are : - number of endemic species, - degree of threat in terms of habitat loss. Two hot spots of India are Western Ghats/Sri Lanka and Indo-Burma regions (c) Parasites are any living thing that lives in (endoparasite) or on (ectoparasite) another living organism e.g., Cuscuta reflexa. Pathogens are microorganisms (such as bacterium) that
parasitize any living organism (animal, plant or a human) and produce a disease e.g., Puccinia graminis. (d) Phyllodes are flat, green-coloured leaf like modifications of petioles or rachis. The leaflets or lamina of the leaf are highly reduced or caducous. The phyllodes perform photosynthesis and other functions of leaf e.g., Acacia. In some xerophytes, the function of leaves (mainly photosynthesis) is taken over by the stems which get modified into flattened or cylindrical structures called phylloclades e.g., Opuntia.

(a) Gene mutation that involve the substitution, deletion or insertion of a single nitrogenous base is called point mutations. (b) Transcription occurs in the nucleus during G1 and G2 phases of cell cycle. DNA has promoter and terminator sites. Transcription starts at the promoter site and stops at the terminator site. The bases from the promoter to the terminator sites form a transcription unit. (c) The genetic material present inside the reproductive cells or germ ceils of crops and its related species is called germplasm. (d) Plant breeding programme designed to increase the vitamin, minerals, higher protein and healthier fat content in crop yields is called biofortification.

(a) It is a tranverse section of cochlea and is located in coiled part of bony labyrinth which floats in a bony cavity containing perilymph. (b) Scala media. The scala media is filled with fluid called endolymph. (c) 4 - Basilar membrane 5 - Organ of corti 6 - Tectorial membrane After reaching oval window, the sound waves causes vibration of endolymph fluid of the cochlear duct that causes the basilar membrane at the base of the cochlea to vibrate. These movements of basilar membrane bend the hair cells of organ of Corti pressing them against tectorial membrane. Thus, the hair cells are excited whenever the basilar membrane vibrates. As a result, the impulses are generated from the cochlear nerves that synapse with the bases of the hair cells. These impulses are transmitted by afferent neurons via auditory nerve to auditory cortex of the brain (temporal lobe) where impulses are analysed and sound is recognised. 15. Examples
