(a) Diaphragm is a membrane that separates
thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity. It is
present only in mammals. All other
chordates do not have diaphragm as their
body cavity is not divided into thoracic and
abdominal cavities. Chordates are coelomate
animals having a true coelom, entercoelic
and shizocoelic in origin. Pharyngeal gill slits
are present at some stage, may or may not
be functional. Nerve cord is dorsal and
tubular.

the sister group to echinoderms, and closely
related to chordates. They have thus been
used to gain insights into the origins of
deuterostome and chordate body plans.

these are openings between the pharynx, or
throat, and the outside.

different taxonomic groups :  cetaceans 
(whales, dolphins, and
porpoises), pinnipeds (seals, sea lions,

dugongs), and marine fissipeds (polar
bears and sea otters).

Artificial insemination is the deliberate
introduction of sperm into a female's cervix
or uterine cavity for the purpose of achieving
a pregnancy through in vivo fertilization by
means other than sexual intercourse
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT)
is used for infertile women who are ovulating
but have blocked oviducts (fallopian tubes)
or for infertile couples who, for religious
reasons, wish to avoid fertilization outside
the human body.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a
specialised form of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
that is used primarily for the treatment of
severe cases of male-factor infertility.

MALT may consist of a collection of
lymphoid cells, or it may include small
solitary lymph nodes. Lymph nodes contain
a light-staining region (germinal center) and
a peripheral dark-staining region. The
germinal center is key to the generation of a
normal immune response. Their function is
to trap microorganisms or other antigens
that enter the lymph and tissue fluid.
Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT)
is formed of the masses of lymphoid tissue,
lining the mucosa of respiratory, digestive
and urogenital tracts. About 50% of
lymphoid tissue in human body is formed
by MALT
110. (1)
Classification of Horse is as follows:

Phylum: Chordata
Order: Perissodactyla (Odd toes)
Rhinos, Tapir, and Horses belong to order
Perissodactyla because they possess odd toes.

Frogs heart is myogenic in nature which
means it originates in muscle tissue and not
from nerve impulse and it is auto
excitable( does not need external stimuli).
When frogs heart taken out of the body
continues to beat for some time that is till the
time ATP is available, because it is not
dependent on nervous system and does not
require external stimuli as SA node can
generate action potential on its own

Homeotherms will only survive if the internal
temperature of the body is within a small
range.
Examples: Amphibians, mammals and birds.
A. Camelus is a mammal and regulates its
body temperature. It is a homeotherm.
B. Macropus is a marsupial, so it is also a
homeotherm.
C. Psittacula  is an ave, it is a homeotherm as
well.
D. Chelone is a plant. It cannot regulate the
internal body temperature.

Metamorphosis is a biological process by
which an animal physically develops after
birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous
and relatively abrupt change in the animal's
body structure through cell growth and
differentiation.
An earthworm is a terrestrial invertebrate
that belongs to the order Opisthopora. They
exhibit a tube-within-a-tube body plan, are
externally segmented with corresponding
internal segmentation, and usually have
setae on all segments. They occur worldwide
where soil, water, and temperature allow.

117(2)
The Radula is the organ of Pila, which is
used to cut the food in srnall pieces.
The radula is a flat ribbon-like structure
found inside the buccal cavity of Pila.
Silkworms (Bombyx mori) provide an ideal
candidate, as they accumulate large
amounts of calcium oxalate crystals in
their Malpighian tubules ,organs that
function like mammalian kidneys and are
considered analogous to kidney epithelium.
Pleurobrachia is Ctenophore. The body bears
eight external rows of ciliated comb plates,
which help in locomotion
Excretory organs are flame cells
scattered all over the mesenchyme. A flame
cell is of irregular shape with granular
cytoplasm and a nucleus. Bundle of cilia or
flame arises from basal granules near
nucleus. The excretory products pass out
through excretory canals and out of
excretory pores.

hollow with air cavities (pneumatic)

124(d) High temperature about 94°C is

required for the process of denaturation
which is the first step of PCR.
Ligation of DNA fragments is performed with
the help of an enzyme called DNA ligase.
Annealing is performed at 50°-60°C which is
the second step that can get affected.
Addition of nucleotides to the primer,
synthesizing a new DNA strand using only
the template sequences with the help of
enzyme DNA polymerase is called primer
extension polymerisation.
