what are vestigial organs

Answer»

Vestigial organ is a rudimentary structure in humans corresponding to a functional structure ororganin the lower animals.

Charles Darwin was familiar with the concept of vestigial structures, though the term for them did not yet exist. He listed a number of them in The Descent of Man, including themuscles of theear,wisdom teeth, theappendix, the tail bone,body hair, and the semilunar fold in the corner of the eye.

2.Why man is called a moving museum of vestigial organs ?

Answer»

During the course of evolution some organs remain in the organisms.We have studied about appendix in digestive system.In human beings it has no role to play in the process of digestin.But in herbivores like rabbit appendix plays an important role.Such type of organs which are not useful are called vestigial organs.There are nearly 180 vestigial organs in human beings. For example:-pinna,hair or skin,mammary gland in human,etc.,Thats why human being is said to be a moving museum of vestigial organs.

2)How ig MRNA formed ?

Answer»

The process of makingmRNAfrom DNA is called transcription, and it occurs in the nucleus. ThemRNAdirects the synthesis of proteins, which occurs in the cytoplasm.mRNA formedin the nucleus is transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where it attaches to the ribosomes.

Messenger RNACarries the Instructions for Making Proteins

mRNA is “messenger” RNA. mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus using the nucleotide sequence of DNA as a template. This process requires nucleotide triphosphates as substrates and is catalyzed by the enzymeRNA polymerase II. The process of making mRNA from DNA is calledtranscription, and it occurs in the nucleus. The mRNA directs the synthesis of proteins, which occurs in the cytoplasm. mRNA formed in the nucleus is transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where it attaches to theribosomes. Proteins are assembled on the ribosomes using the mRNA nucleotide sequence as a guide. Thus mRNA carries a “message” from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The message is encoded in the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA, which is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of the DNA that served as a template for synthesizing the mRNA. Making proteins from mRNA is called

DNA, RNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

The genetic material is stored in the form of DNA in most organisms. In humans, the nucleus of each cell contains 3 × 109base pairs of DNA distributed over 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each cell has two copies of the genetic material. This is known collectively as the human genome. The human genome contains around 30 000 genes, each of which codes for one protein.

Large stretches of DNA in the human genome are transcribed but do not code for proteins. These regions are calledintronsand make up around 95% of the genome. The nucleotide sequence of the human genome is now known to a reasonable degree of accuracy but we do not yet understand why so much of it is non-coding. Some of this non-coding DNA controls gene expression but the purpose of much of it is not yet understood. This is a fascinating subject that is certain to advance rapidly over the next few years.

give examples of analogous and homologous organs in plants

Answer»

Analogus Organsin plants: Analogous organs are those organs which have the different basic structural design and origin but have similar functions.

Examples: Plants can demonstrate analogous structures, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which have the same function of food storage.

Homologus Organs in plants :Homologous organs are those organs which have the same basic structural design and origin but have different functions.

Examples:The leaves of a pitcher plant, a Venus fly trap, a cactus and a poinsettia are all examples of homology. They are homologous structures because, although they have different shapes and different functions today, they all share a common ancestor.

Discuss about Sense Organs in vertebrate

Answer»

Avertebratehas receptors orsense organsfor touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing, which are stimulated by the environment.

There are othersense organsfound in the body, which detect temperature, pain, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and muscle position. They are spoken of as internal receptors or interoceptors.

Cutaneous (General) Receptors:

The entire body surface of aquatic vertebrates and the moist parts of the skin of terrestrial vertebrates are sensitive to chemicals. Certain parts of the skin are sensitive to contact and temperature changes. The cutaneous receptors are free nerve endings of peripheral nerves, and some encapsulated nerve endings or tactile corpuscles.

What are those organism called which bear both the sex organs in the same individual, Give the examples of such organisms.

Answer»

Hermaphrodites are organisms that possess both the male and female sex organs. Most invertebrates are hermaphrodites. It is a normal condition among this group of organisms enabling them to undergo a form of sexual reproduction where the partner can act either as 'male' or 'female'. Examples of such organisms are earthworm, leech and slugs. Interestingly, most plants are hermaphrodites too.

(e d18(a) What are chromosomes ? Where are they located in the cells ?(b)(c)What is a sex chromosome?Explain the mechanism of sex determination in human beings.

Answer»

(a) Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique

(b) Sex chromosomes are chromosomes which determine the sex of individual organisms. In man, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes and one of these pairs are sex chromosomes.

(c)In human beings, sex is determined by the sex chromosomes. Males have XY constitution of sex chromosomes. Females have XX constitution of sex chromosomes

Sex of child depends on what happens during fertilization. i) If a sperm carrying X chromosome fertilizes an ovum which carries X chromosome, then the child born will be a girl.ii) If a sperm carrying Y chromosome fertilizes an ovum which carries X chromosome, then the child born will be a boy.

43.What is the proper sequence in mitosis?

Answer»

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself.

Mitosis consists of four basic phases: in sequence prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Some textbooks list five, breaking prophase into an early phase (called prophase) and a late phase (called prometaphase).

(zi) In anaerobic respiration, the giuthe absence of oxygen (of air) to form ethanol and calUlow are oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in human beingnuman beings, oxygen is carried from the lungs by the respiratomrnuscles. Haemoglobin has a very high affinity fordioride produced

Answer»

Exchange of gases takes place between the alveoli of lungs and the surrounding blood capillaries. The two main gases exchanged are oxygen and carbon-dioxide. Oxygen is absorbed by the blood capillaries from the lungs alveoli by diffusion while carbon-dioxide is absorbed by the lungs alveoli from blood capillaries by diffusion. Transport of oxygen and carbon-dioxide occurs with the help of respiratory pigment called hemoglobin.Hemoglobin, the iron containing respiratory pigment is a red colored pigment of blood, which has a very high affinity for oxygen. Hemoglobin though is purple colored but oxy-hemoglobin is of bright red color. Oxygen is transported from lungs to the body cells in the form of oxy-hemoglobin.Carbon-dioxide is transported from the body cell to the lungs in the forms of carboxy-hemoglobin, carbonic acid, bicarbonates of sodium and potassium.

What is symbolic logic? Discuss theimportant characteristics of symbolic logic.

Answer»

Symbolic logic is the method of representing logical expressions through the use of symbols and variables, rather than in ordinary language. This has the benefit of removing the ambiguity that normally accompanies ordinary languages, such as English, and allows easier operation.

The important characteristics of symbolic logic:1) It formalizes the process of mathematical reasoning. 2) It removes the “meaning” from reasoning allow reasoning to be carried out symbolically without any concern for meaning. 3) It allows the discovery of different modes of reasoning such as classical, quantum, modal, etc. That clarifies the process of mathematical argument substantially.

What are reflex actions? Give two examples. Explain a reflex arc.

Answer»

Reflex action is an involuntary action by the body.Reflex is an action generated by the body in response to the environment.Example :

Blinking of eyes when a foreign particle gets in them.Sneezingif an unwantedparticle enters the nose. Watering of mouth at the sight or smell of good food.

In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron sends a signal to the interneuron and activates it. The interneuron then relays that signal to the next neuron, a motor neuron. Motor neurons connect with interneurons in the spinal cord. They send messages from the central nervous system to the body.

2049.

what is difference between reflex action and reflex arc

Answer»
2050.

what is reflex arc ?? why have reflex arc evolved in animals ?

Answer»

Reflex arc is pathway or route of neurons to perform a reflex act.

In animals, some of the responses might be completed quickly. In order to perform quick response or actions sensory neurons do not connect directly to the brain, instead they meet in the spinal cord. A basic reflex arc consist of sensory neurons, motor neuron and the muscle or gland cells.

Reflex arc, have evolved in animals, in order to perform quick responses, as the thinking process of brain is not fast enough.
