Question : Vegetative propagation is seen in which plants ? Flowering or non-flowering plant ? Artificial vegetative propagation is practised in which plants? Seed bearing or seedless plants ? |
Answer» Solution :VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION is seen mainly in flowering plants. But non-flowering plants such as moss, fern also show vegetative propagation. Artificial vegetative propagation is PRACTISED in seed bearing plants such as ROSE, sugarcane, grapes, jasmine, orange, etc. |

Question : "Vegetarian food habits can sustain a larger number of people." Justify the statement in terms of food chain. |
Answer» Solution :Vegetarian FOOD HABITS involve two-step food chains. The two chains are : (i) PRODUCER plants `""` (II) Herbivorous animals Energy flows according to ten per cent law from one TROPHIC level to the next trophic level. So vegetarians get much more energy than non-vegetarians. More energy in the producer plants can feed larger number of people. Thus, vegetarian food habits can sustain a larger number of people. |

Question : Variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism only will survive in population. Justify. |
Answer» Solution :Variations is the difference in the characters or traits among the INDIVIDUALS of a species sexual reproduction of organisms produces VARIATION. The variations produced in organisms during successive generations gets ACCUMULATED in the organism the significance of variations shows up only if it continues to be inhertied by the offspring for several generation. | |

Question : Variation is useful for survival of each species. Explain. |
Answer» Solution :The population of ORGANISMS fill niches in the ecosystem, using their ability to reproduce. During reproduction the consistency of DNA COPYING is important for the maintenance of body design. This ALLOW the organism to USE that particular NICHE. Thus, the stability of populations of species in particular niches are maintained by the process of reproduction. There are chances that niches can change due to reasons beyond the control of organisms. The changes may be in form of fluctuations in temperature of the earth, varying water level, meteorite hits or any other ecological imbalance. Under such conditions any alteration in the particular kind of niche is surely going to hit the population of reproducing organisms. The affected population may be wiped out due to this. Few individuals of this population, with some variations in their DNA may survive. Example: A population of bacteria living in water with moderate temperature. Because of global warming the temperature of water may be increased, many bacteria may die, but few temperature resistant bacteria may survive and grow further. Thus, variation is useful for the survival of species. |

Question : Usually the seed part of the fruit will not be tasty (may tastebitter) why? |
Answer» SOLUTION :If the SEEDS are tasty then the animals will consume the seeds along with the fruits. To enable dispersion of seeds, mother nature has made some of the seeds bitter so that animals just discard those enabling SEED dispersion. (Mangalore CUCUMBER is a classic EXAMPLE) | |

Question : Two green plants are kept separately in oxygen-free containers, one in the dark and the other in continuous light. Which one will live longer? Give reasons. |
Answer» SOLUTION :Plant kept in continuous light will live longer. Because it will be able to produce oxygen REQUIRED for its RESPIRATION by the process of photosynthesis. | |

Question : Two green plants are kept separately in oxygen free containser, one in the dark and the other in continuouslight. Whichone will livelonger and give appropriate reason for the same ? |
Answer» Solution :Plants need sunlight and `CO_(2)`for performing PHOTOSYNTHESIS, Hence, plants kept in `O_(2)`FREE environment can survive. But the one in dark will not be ABLETO perform photosynthesisand hence will not survive. Whereasthe one in sunlightwill make its food and will alsoperformrespiration as `O_(2)`will be givenout, and thus will survive longer. | |

Question : Two black female mice are crossed with a brown male. Later female I produces 9 black and 7 brown offsprings, female II produced 57 black off springs during first filial generation. Then i) What inference can you make concerning inheritance of black and brown coloured mice? ii) With the help of phenotype given, find out what are the genotypes of parents? |
Answer» Solution : i) INFERENCE regarding the INHERITANCE of black and brown colour. Since the black colour genes are dominant over brown .colour genes, only black COLOURED offsprings appear in the first filial GENERATION. (in case of female 2). II) Since both black and brown offsprings are obtained when female 1 is crossed with a brown male (bb), its genotype would be Bb (heterozygous). Female 2 will have genotype BB (homozygous). | |

Question : "Two areas of study namely 'evolution and classification are interlinked." Justify this statement. |
Answer» Solution :Different forms of organisms have EVOLVED during the course of evolution. Classification deals with GROUPING of these organisms into groups and subgroups BASED on their SIMILARITIES and differences. The more characteristics any two species have in common more closely they are related. In other words, they will have a more recent ANCESTOR. Thus, classification helps tracing the evolutionary relationships between the two organisms. Hence classification and evolution are interlinked. |
