B-DNA shows 10 nucleotides per turn (coil) of
helix, if there are 20 coils then total number of
nucleotides is 200 out of which 120 are adenine

Crossing over occurs during pachytene or
thick thread or pachynemasubstage of
prophase-I of meiosis. During this stage, an
exchange of portions of chromatids between
homologous chromosomes occur. At chiasma,
the chromatids break rejoin in such a way
that sections are exchanged.
114 (b)
Replication of DNA takes place during S-phase of
cell cycle. The number of chromosomes reduced

Active transport is the movement of a
substance from a region of lower
concentration to region of higher
concentration i.e., against the concentration
gradient. This process involves the movement
of free-energy gradient, they require the
expenditure of energy from the breakdown of
ATP and are, therefore, sensitive to factors
affecting metabolism.

In apoplast pathway, water passes from root
hair to xylem through the walls of intervening 124 (a)
cells without crossing any membrane or
cytoplasm.
Water potential of pure water at atmospheric
pressure is 0 Mpa, addition of solutes reduce
water potential (to a negative value).
In symplast pathway, water passes from cell
to cell through their protoplasm. It does not
enter cell vacuoles. The cytoplasms of the
adjacent cells are connected through bridges
called plasmodesmata.
Membrane permeability is the ability of a
membrane to allow passage of gases, liquids,
solutes (dissolved substance) through it. It is
depend upon two factors- nature of
membrane (membrane composition) and
nature of passing substance.

Biological concept of species says that only the
members of a species can breed freely in nature to
produce fertile offsprings. The plant tobacco
(Nicotiana) has two different species,
Nicotianatobaccum and Nicotianasylvestris. These
two species cannot reproduce freely.
126 (a)
Ethylene is a gaseous hormone responsible for
fruit ripening. Germination of seed is triggered by
soaking of seeds in water. After imbibing water,
the embryo secretes gibberellin which stimulates
the synthesis of α amylase. Gibberellin is not
responsible for falling of leaves. Apical dominance
of plants occur due to auxin hormone

Duodenum of small intestine possesses Brunner’s
gland, which secretes large amount of mucous and
bicarbonates, which in turn, proteins, the
duodenal mucosa and neutralises the acidic
chyme. It also secretes two hormones, secretin
and cholecystokinin. However, secretin is
secreted by duodenal wall and cholecystokinin is
secreted by the epithelium of small intestine

Acetylcholine.
The junction between a motor neuron and the
sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the
neuromuscular junction or motor end plate. A
neural signal reaching this junction releases a
neurotransmitter, acetylecholine which generates
an action potential in the sarcolemma

Pelvic girdle consists of two coxal bones. Each
coxal bone is formed by the fusion of three bones-
ilium, ischium and pubis. At the point of fusion of
the above bones is a cavity called acetabulum to
which the thigh bone articulates.

Iris.
The choroid layer is thin over the posterior two
third of the eyeball. But it becomes thick in the
anterior part of form ciliary body. The ciliary body
itself continues forward to form a pigmented and
opaque structure called the iris which is the
visible coloured portion of eye. The eyeball
contains a transparent crystalline lens which is
held in place by ligaments attached to ciliary
body.
In front of the lens, the aperture surrounded by
the iris is called the pupil. This diameter of the
pupil is regulated by muscle fibres of iris

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), also known
as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide is
a member of the secretin family of hormones. It
has traditionally been called gastrointestinal
inhibitory peptide or gastric inhibitory peptide
and was believed to neutralise stomach acid to
protect the small intestine from acid damage,
reduce the rate at which food is transferred
through the stomach and inhibit the GI motility
and secretion of acid

Pheromone are chemicals used for
communication amongst individual of same
species. Also known as ectohormones/sex
attractants/semi chemicals. Pheromones involve
a specific response in other members like

Proliferation of endometrium.
In the ovulatory phase, both LH and FSH attain a
peak level in middle of cycle (about 14 day).
Rapid secretion of LH induces rupturing of
Graafian follicle and thereby releasing the ovum
in human beings (secondary oocyte is released).
This is called ovulation. Infact increase level of LH
causes ovulation

Implantation is the attachment of blastocytes to

Gametes. The major reproductive events in
human beings are as follows
(i) Gametogenesis It is the formation of gametes.
It includes spermatogenesis (formation of
sperms) and oogenesis (formation of ova/eggs)
(ii) Insemination It is the transfer of sperms by
the male into the genital tract of the female
(iii) Fertilization Fusion of male and female
gametes to form zygote is called fertilization
(iv) Cleavage It is rapid mitotic divisions of the
zygote which convert the single celled zygote into
a multicellular structure called blastocyst
(blastula)
(v) Implantation It is the attachment of blastocyst
to the uterine wall
(vi) Placentation It involves the formation of
placenta which is the intimate connection
between the foetus and uterine wall of the mother
to exchange the materials
(vii) Gastrulation It is the process by which
blastocyst is changed into gastrula with three
primary germ layers
(viii) Organogenesis It is the formation of specific
tissue, organs and organ systems from three
primary germ layers
(ix) Parturition (child birth) it involves expelling
of the baby from the mother’s womb uterus
151 (c)
Second meiotic division takes place in ova after
sperm and ova fusion. Proximal convulated
tubules and distal convulated tubules at the neck
region in sperm helps to complete the 2nd meiotic
division
153 (b)
IUDs (Intra Uterine Devices) increases the
phagocytosis of sperms.
Natural method of contraceptive are the natural
ways to prevent fertilisation. These methods are
(i) Periodic Abstinence
Couple avoid coitus or intercourse from day 10 to
17 of the menstrual cycle when ovulation is
expected to occur
(ii) Coitus interruption or withdrawl method
Withdrawl of penis from the vagina just before
ejaculation so as to avoid insemination
(iii) LactationalAmenorrhoea (Absence of
menstruation) This method is based on the fact
that ovulation and therefore the cycle don’t occur
during the period of intense following parturition.
Therefore, as long as the mother breast feeds the
child, chances of conception are almost nil

Biogeography is the study of the geographical
distribution of life forms on earth. Darwin under 168 (a)
took a voyage on the ship HMS Beagle. The ship
travelled the Southern Hemisphere where life is
most abundant and varied. Along the way, Darwin 170 (c)
found different forms of life very different from
those in England.
160 (d)
Reproduction by sexual methods brings the
change in progeny. In sexually genes reproduced
organisms, the independent assortment of genes
and genetic recombination takes place. Due to
these events, the progeny have high rate of
natural selection than the asexually reproduced
organisms

digestion
167 (b)
Microorganism such as Lactobacillus and others
commonly called Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB).
These bacteria are widely used in food
fermentation because of their ability to improve
flavours, texture and safety of perishable raw
materials such as milk, meat and vegetables
In gel electrophoresis, the sample DNA is cut into
fragments by restriction endonucleases
In callus culture, cell division in explant forms a
callus. Callus is irregular unorganized and
undifferentiated mass of actively dividing cells.
Darkness and solid medium gelled by agar
stimulates callus formation. The culture medium
contains growth regulators auxin 2, 4-D and often
a cytokinin like BAP. Both of these growth
regulators stimulate meristematic property in
callus.
