The given figure shows monthly changes in the human ovary during the reproductive cycle.Which of the following statements is correct regarding the labelled structures? (A) Before puberty, only structure T undergoes meiosis. (B) The hormone produced by structure R stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete luteinising hormone. (C) The hormone produced by structure S is responsible for the development of female secondary sex characters. (D) The hormone produced by P and Q stimulates the proliferation of the endometrial lining of the uterine wall. |
|
Answer» Correct option (D) The hormone produced by P and Q stimulates the proliferation of the endometrial lining of the uterine wall. Explanation: ln the given figure of human ovary, P is primary follicle, Q is mature Graafian follicle, T is secondary oocyte, R is corpus luteum and S is corpus albicans. Secondary oocyte (T) is formed only after puberty in a monthly cycle (one in each cycle). The corpus luteum (R) is developed under the effect of luteinising hormone from pituitary. The hormone progesterone secreted by it, maintains the uterine endothelium and stimulates secretion of watery mucus from uterine glands. Corpus albicans (S) secretes no hormone. P (primary follicle) and Q (Graafian follicle) secrete estrogen which stimulates the proliferation of endometrial lining of the uterine wall. |

New plants may be grown from groups of cells that are taken from other plants. The given diagram shows parts of a plant X. Cell samples obtained from which of the labelled structures will grow into new plants that are genetically identical to plant X?(A) P (B) Q(C) R (D) S |
|
Answer» Correct option (D) S Explanation: There are two types of cells in an organism-somatic cells (2n) and germ cells (n). Somatic cell samples give rise to new organisms that are genetically identical to their parents because in somatic cells, crossing over does not occur and hence variations are not produced. Germ cells produce variations. Thus, cell samples taken from part S (thalamus) of plant X will give rise to new plants that are genetically identical to plant X. Other parts P, Q and R have germ cells. |

What does the term “double circulation” mean? |
|
Answer» Blood flows twice in the heart before it completes one full round. The full round thus includes pulmonary and systemic circulation. In pulmonary circulation, blood enters the lungs through pulmonary arteries. Pulmonary veins collect the blood from the lungs and carry it back to the left In systemic circulation, blood from the left ventricle enters the aorta through which the blood is sent to the body parts. From the body parts blood is collected by veins and sent back to the heart. Therefore, the blood circulation in the human body is called double circulation. |
|

Give reason, why a matured mammalian erythrocyte lacks nucleus and mitochondria? |
|
Answer» A matured mammalian erythrocyte lacks a nucleus and mitochondria. The lack of a nucleus increases the surface area-volume ratio of RBCs, thus increasing the area for oxygen absorption. Also, the lack of a nucleus reduces the size of the cell, making it easy to flow through the blood vessels and more cells can be accommodated in a small area. The lack of mitochondria implies that the cell does not use any oxygen absorbed for respiration, thus increasing the efficiency of the cell to transport oxygen as all the oxygen absorbed is transported without any loss. |
|
| 32. |
Explain the term Double Circulation. |
|
Answer» In mammals the heart produces two separate circulations, the pulmonary to the lungs and systemic to the rest of the body. These two separate circulations are jointly called double circulation. From the right ventricle deoxygenated blood goes to lung for purification and comes back to left auricle through pulmonary vein after purification which is known as pulmonary circulation. Distribution of blood from left ventricle to different parts of the body and back to hearts as deoxygenated blood is known as systemic circulation. |
|
| 33. |
What does the term ‘double circulation’ mean ? |
|
Answer» Double circulation means that the blood flows twice in the heart before it completes one full round-the short pulmonary (lung) circulation and the long systemic (general body) circulation. For this reason the blood circulation in human body is also called double circulation. |

A tree breaks due to storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree touches the ground making an angle 30° with it. The distance between the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 8 m. Find the height of the tree. |
|
Answer» Answer Let AC be the broken part of the tree. ∴ Total height of the tree = AB+AC In right ΔABC, cos 30° = BC/AC ⇒ √3/2 = 8/AC ⇒ AC = 16/√3 Also, tan 30° = AB/BC ⇒ 1/√3 = AB/8 ⇒ AB = 8/√3 Total height of the tree = AB+AC = 16/√3 + 8/√3 = 24/√3 |

Explain, why is water used as a coolent in motor car radiators? |
|
Answer» Water has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2Jg-1°C-1 and its temperature does not rise beyond 100°C. Thus, it can absorb large amount of heat from the working engine, which is then radiated out through radiator Thus, on low temperature the engine works efficiently. |
