• Snake venom has highly modified
saliva containing Zootoxins. It
facilitates the immobilization and
digestion of prey and at the same
time defending from threats. It is
injected after a bite or through
spit.
• Snake venom is basically highly
modified saliva that is made up of
around 80% proteins and some
20% enzymes. Most of these
enzymes are harmless to
humans, but there are about 20
toxic enzymes known to man,
and the unique mixtures of
these zootoxins and proteins
make for the lethal snake venom.

A. It grows in the soil.
B. Carotene
C. It is not exposed to sunlight.
D. The entire plant is orange in colour.

and are made of strands of genetic
material called deoxyribonucleic acid, or
DNA. The physical location of a gene is
its locus. When genes are organized in
structure they are called chromosome.
Every person has two copies of each
gene, one inherited from each parent.
