Section – B

(1.5 Marks)

Question 4.
Write three problems related to reproductive health. [1.5]
Answer:
Problems related to Reproductive Health:

  1. There is little knowledge of personal hygiene and hygiene of reproductive organs. This causes sexually transmitted diseases.
  2. Early marriage lead to high maternal and infant mortality rate.
  3. Due to lack of awareness, there has been a rapid increase in population size.

Question 5.
Write causative organism, symptoms, transmission and treatment of gonorrhoea. [1.5]
Answer:
Gonorrhoea:
Causative Organism : It is caused by diplococcus bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoea.
Symptoms : The bacterium lives in genital tract producing a pus containing discharge, pain over genetalia and burning during urination. It may lead to arthritis, and eye infections.
Transmission : The bacterium transmitted through sexual contact, common toilets and undergarments.
Treatment : For this penicillin and Ampicillin are effective drugs.

Question 6.
(a) Explain what is meant by biofortification, (b) Write down the objectives of plant breeding. [1.5]
Answer:
(a) Biofortification is the process by which the nutritional quality of food crops is improved through agronomic practices, conventional plant breeding or modern biotechnology.
(b) Objectives of plant breeding :

  • Higher yield from crops.
  • Better quality of plants.
  • Disease, insect and pest resistance.
  • New varieties adaptive for particular environment.

Question 7.
Which part of the plant is best suited for making virus free plants and why? [1.5]
Answer:
The apical and axillary meristem present in apical and axillary buds respectively are the best plant parts to make-virus free plants. This is because the rate of division of meristematic cells is higher than the rate of multiplication of virus and viruses are unable to invade newly formed meristematic cells.

Question 8.
Differentiate between plasmid DNA and chromosomal DNA. [1.5]
Answer:
Differences between plasmid DNA and chromosomal DNA

Plasmid DNA Chromosomal DNA
1. Double stranded, circular Double stranded, circular or linear.
2. Not attached with histone. Attached with histone protein.
3. Replicate autonomously. Replicates under nuclear control.

Question 9.
Describe the role of DNA ligase in r-DNA technology. [1.5]
Answer:
Role of DNA ligase:

  • DNA ligase leads the formation of phosphodiester bond between two DNA fragments.
  • Joining of two sticky or blunt ends by the formation of hydrogen bonds.
  • Ligation of all purine and pyrimidine bases.

Question 10.
Why is proinsulin so called? How is proinsulin different from functional insulin in humans? [1.5]
Answer:
Pro-insulin is naturally synthesised by human and other mammals contain a c-peptide chain that does not found in mature insulin. Pro-insulin contain three chains A, B and C, when pro-insulin undergoes maturation c-peptide separate out from insulin and fully mature insulin only contain two A and B chains, bonded with di-sulphide bond.

Question 11.
Explain how Eli Lilly, an American company, produced insulin by recombinant DNA technology? [1.5]
Answer:
In 1983, American company Eli Lilly designed two DNA sequences, similar to A and B chain of insulin. E. coli bacteria used to produce A and B chains in culture medium separately. Though disulphide linkage both the chains are exactly like mature insulin. This artificially synthesised insulin is named humulin, which is very safe and cause no allergy.

Question 12.
Explain the pyramid of numbers with example. [1.5]
Answer:
Pyramid of numbers : It gives the graphical representation of the number of individuals found at each trophic level in a food chain of an ecosystem. This pyramid can be inverted or upright depending on the crowd of producers.

Example : In a Grassland ecosystem, this pyramid is upright where in the food chain, the number of producers is followed by the number of herbivores, which in turn is followed by number of secondary and tertiary consumers. Therefore, the number of individuals at the level of producers will be maximum, whereas the number of individuals at the top carnivores will be the least. The pyramid of numbers in a parasitic food chain is inverted, where in the food chain, producers provide food to fruit eating birds which in response support few species of insects.

Question 13.
Differentiate between food chain and food web. [1.5]
Answer:
Difference between food chain and food web

Food chain Food web
1. Constitutes for a single linear sequence of entities. Consists of a number of interconnected food chains.
2. Members inhabiting higher trophic levels feeds only on one type of entity. Any given individual has alternate options for food sources.

Question 14.
What are hot spots? Name one hot spot in India. Name three endangered animal species. [1.5]
Answer:
Hot spots are the richest and most threatened reservoirs of wildlife that need immediate attention for their conservation.
Example : Himalaya.

Name of Endangered Species:

  • White lion
  • Cheetah
  • Rhino.

Question 15.
How co-extinction causes species loss? [1.5]
Answer:
Co-extinction : One species is connected to the other in native habitat in an intricate network. Hence, the extinction of one species causes the extinction of the other wherein they are associated with each other in an obligatory connection. For instance, the extinction of host would cause the extinction of its parasites.

Section – C

Question 16.
Define external and internal fertilization. Mention disadvantages of external fertilization. [3]
Or
Explain regeneration process with suitable diagrams. [3]
Answer:
External Fertilization : When the fusion of male and female gametes takes place outside the body of an organism, it is called external fertilization.
Example : Frog

Internal Fertilization : When the fusion of male and female gametes takes place inside the body of female organism is called internal fertilization.
Example : Goat.

Disadvantages of External Fertilization :

  • It requires a medium for fusion of gametes.
  • It is not ensured and there are chances of wastage and distinction of gametes.
  • The young ones are often exposed to predators and no parental care is provided.

Question 17.
What is pedigree analysis? Suggest how such an analysis, can be useful? [3]
Or
Two heterozygous parents are crossed. If the two loci are linked what would be the distribution of phenotypic features in generation for a dihybrid cross? [3]
Answer:
A pedigree is a diagram of a family tree showing the relationships between individuals together with relevant facts about their medical histories. A pedigree analysis is the interpretation of these data that allows a better understanding of the transmission of genes within the family. In human genetics, pedigree study provides a strong tool, which is utilized to trace the inheritance of a specific trait, abnormality or disease. By carefully observing the position of affected individuals, mutation carriers may be identified. From this data, the risk of carrier status for other family members or the chance that a couple may have an affected child can be estimated.

Question 18.
Differentiate between benign tumors and malignant tumors. [3]
Or
Name the pathogen and their carrier for following diseases :
(i) AIDS, (ii) Leprosy, (iii) Tetanus, (iv) Malaria, (v) Tuberculosis, (vi) Aspergillosis. [3]
Answer:
Differences between benign tumors and malignant tumors.

Benign Tumors Malignant Tumors
1. Benign tumors are single mass of cells enclosed in capsule. Malignant tumors are mass of proliferating neoplastic cells without capsule.
2. Cells grow slowly. Cells grow very rapidly.
3. Cells are non migratory, hence do not migrate from place of origin. Cells have pseudopodia like processes, hence are migratory.
4. Cells remain combined to the site of their origin. Cells invade and damage the surrounding normal tissues and lymphatic vessels to be carried to remote areas of body.
5. They are non-cancerous. They are cancerous.

Question 20.
How nucleoside and nucleotide are form? Name four nucleotides present in DNA molecules. [4]
Or
A DNA segment has a total of 1000 nucleotides, out of which 240 of them are adenine containing nucleotides. How many pyrimidine bases this DNA segment possesses? [4]
Answer:
Nucleosides : The combination of a molecule of pentose sugar with a nitrogenous base form nucleoside i.e., Pentose sugar + Nitrogenous base = Nucleoside.
Nucleotides : The combination of a nucleoside with a phosphate group form a nucleotide, i.e., Pentose sugar + nitrogenous base + phosphoric acid = Nucleotide.

Nucleotides present in DNA Molecules:

  • Deoxyadenylic acid
  • Deoxyguanylic acid
  • Deoxycytidylic acid
  • Deoxythymidylic acid
