EXPLANATIONS

1. (b) Binomial nomenclature means the scientific name of any
organism consist of a generic epithet and a specific epithet.
2. (d) The class Basidiomycetes includes those members that
produce their basidia and basidiospores on or in a
basidiocarp.
6. (b) Replication of the genetic information causes transfer
of genetic information from one generation to the next.
8. (a) NO3–, is negatively charged and not tightly bound to
soil particles.
10. (c) Gibberellins and ABA are antagonistic with each other.
ABA counteracts many effects of gibberellins like
induction of hydrolases and a-amylases in barley
seedlings.
12. (b) Net primary productivity is the rate of organic matter
built up or stored by producers in their bodies per unit
time and area. Net productivity is equal to gross primary
productivity minus loss due to respiration and other
reasons. Rate of increase in energy containing organic
matter or biomass by heterotrophs or consumers per
unit time and area is known as secondary productivity.
13. (c) If the forest cover is reduced to half, large areas will
become deserts, on a long term basis.
21. (b) The second male gamete entering the ovary fuses with
two haploid polar nuclei to form triploid primary
endosperm nucleus which develops into endosperm.
This fusion of two male gametes with two different
structures (egg and secondary nucleus) in the same
female gametophyte is called double fertilization.
24. (d) Though the flagella are of different structure, they serve
the same role in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
27. (b) In most fruits the rate of respiration will undergo a sharp
rise and then fall near the end of ripening. Kidd and West
termed this phenomenon "climacteric rise". The climacteric
acts as a trigger that sets in progress those changes that
rapidly transform the fruit from an unripe to a ripe condition.
Finally, application of ethylene to unripe fruit will bring on
a premature climactric and accelerate ripening.
29. (a) The first reaction of the Krebs cycle is the condensation
of acetyl CoA (2 C compound) with oxaloacetate
(4 C compound). Citric acid, a 6 carbon-compound is
the first product of Krebs cycle.
42. (a) F2 phenotypic and genotypic ratio in monohybrid cross
involving incomplete dominance is
1 : 2 : 1
RR Rr rr
(red) (pink) (white)
44. (c) Each molecule of ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate fixes one
molecule of carbon dioxide with the addition of water,
thereby resulting in the formation of two molecules of
3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA). The fixation and
reduction of one molecule of CO 2 requires three
molecules of ATP and two of NADPH, coming from the
photochemical reactions.
45. (b) Because endosperm is haploid (n) and formed before
fertilization and megaspore mother cell divides
reductionally to form a linear tetrad of haploid
megaspores and microspore (= pollen grain) is the first
stage of the gametophyte (n).
46. (a) Jointed legs and chitinous exoskeleton are the common
characters found in centipede, cockroach and crab.
47. (d) The most abundant prokaryotes helpful to humans in
making curd from milk and in production of antibiotics
are the heterotrophic bacteria. Lactobacillus converts
milk into curd.

50. (c) Dendrites generally receive inputs and conduct signals
towards the cell body, whereas axons conduct signals
away from the cell body.
51. (d) The cytoplasm immediately surrounding the nucleus is
loaded with protein synthetic machinery and is called
perikaryon, dendrites are usually shorter, tapering and
much branched processes which may be one to several.
These two are only present in nerve cells.
52. (a) At 14th day of normal human menstrual cycle rapid
secretion of LH normally occurs.
53. (c) Blood group AB is also known as the universal recipient.
55. (c) In testis, the immature male germ cells or spermatogo-
nia (2n) multiply by mitotic divide and increase in num-
ber. Some spermatogonia (2n) known as primary sper-
matocytes divide meiotic division to form secondary
spermatocytes (n). The secondary spermatocytes un-
dergo second meiotic division to produce spermatid
which are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by
the process called spermiogenesis.
57. (b)
In this question A is transcription, B - translation C -
Francis Crick (central dogma) It is unidirectional flow of
information DNA to mRNA (transcription) and then
decoding the information present in mRNA in the
formation of polypeptide chain or protein (translation).
59. (b) Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the causal agent of crown
gall disease (the formation of tumours) in over 140
species of dicot. This disease caused by a DNA plasmid
(Ti plasmid) carried by bacterium and transferred to the
plant cells. Ti plasmid is widely used in plant engineering
as a vector in order to inject gene in host plant to form
transgenic plant.
60. (b) • Growth hormone secreted by Anterior pituitary
• Corpus leutum secrete Progesterone
• Oxytocin is secreted by Posterior pituitary
62. (b) Ex-situ conservation is the conservation of selected
organism in places outside their natural homes. They
include off site collection and gene banks.
In situ conservation, on the other hand, is the
conservation of endangered species in their natural
habitat. Biosphere reserves, National parks, Wildlife
sanctuaries and sacred groves all are examples of In
situ conservation.
65. (b) Ligases are the enzymes used to glue together DNA
fragments.
67. (d) Roquefort cheese is produced with the help Penicillium
roquefortii.
70. (c) Cerebrum is the first and most developed part of fore
brain. It makes 2/3 part of total brain. Pons is a small
spherical projection, which is situated below the mid-
brain and upper side of the medulla oblongata. It acts
as a relay centre among different parts of brain. B and D
are thalamus and spinal cord respectively.

71. (a) Oxygen tends to displace CO2 so that the curve shifts
more to the right.
72. (b) The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in
female mammals that is involved in the production of rela-
tively high levels of progesterone. A marked in the figure
shows primary follicle, a layer of granulosa cells, surrounds
each primary oocyte. A large number of these follicles de-
generate during the phase from birth to puberty.
76. (a) Fructose and amino acids are absorbed through
intestinal mucosa with the help of carrier ions like Na +.
Carbohydrates are absorbed as monosaccharides
(simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose
that cannot be further broken down by hydrolysis) or
as disaccharides (such as sucrose, lactose, maltose, and
dextrin that can be hydrolyzed to two monosaccharides).
These simpler molecules, however, must be obtained
by the breaking down of polysaccharides, (complex
carbohydrates) that contain many monosaccharides.
Chief among these is amylase, a starch that accounts
for 20 percent of dietary carbohydrate.
79. (c) Nephridia of earthworm and malphigian tubules of
cockroch belongs to excretory organs. Earthworm has
a well developed excretory system which is composed
of large number of minute, coiled and glandular
segmentally arranged excretory tubules called the
nephridia. Malphigian tubules of cockroach are
extremely fine yellowish unbranched thread like
structure present at the function of midgut and hindgut.
81. (d) Increased arterial pressure in kidney will promote the
filtration but the person is suffering from poor renal
reabsorption, so the volume of glomerular filtrate and
urine will increase and person would be unable to
maintain the volume of blood.
83. (d) Chemical process of digestion started in the oral cavity
by the hydrolytic action of the carbohydrate (potato
contains starch) splitting enzyme, the salivary amylase.
Carbohydrates in the chyme are hydrolysed by
pancreatic amylase into disaccharides.
85. (c) The use of condoms has been shown to decrease the
transmission of AIDS because condoms is contraceptic.
86. (b) The structure of the abdominal wall is similar in principle
to the thoracic wall. There are three layers, an external,
internal and innermost layer. The vessels and nerves lie
between the internal and innermost layers. The abdomen
can be divided into quadrants or nine abdominal
regions. Pain felt in these regions may be considered to
be direct or referred to abdominal wall made up of smooth
muscles.
87. (b) Genotype of carrier parents is –
Aa (male parent) × Aa (female parent)
AA normal child (25%)
Aa carrier child (50%)
aa affected child (25%)
