Describe the mechanism of inheritance of the ABO system of blood group, highlighting the principle of genetics involved in it. OR Explain the genetic basis of blood grouping in human population.

Answer»

▪ The alleles which are able to express themselves independently, even when present together are called co-dominant alleles and this biological phenomenon is called codominance.For example, ABO blood grouping in humans. 

• ABO blood groups are controlled by gene I. Gene I has three alleles IA, IB and IO/i. 

• IA and IB produce RBC surface antigens sugar polymer A and B, respectively, whereas i does not produce any antigen. 

• IA and IB are dominant over i hence IA and IB are dominant alleles and i is recessive allele as in IAi and IBi.

 • When IA and IB are present together, both express equally and produce the surface antigens A and B, hence show co-dominance. 

• Since humans are diploid, each person possesses any two of the three ‘I’ gene alleles, resulting into six different genotaypic combinations and four phenotypic Expressions. Table showing the genetic basis of blood groups in human population

What changes do you see the position of the artistes and the subject of their performances since the time of the national movement?

Answer»

After the national movement, their condition became worse. Nobody is there to encourage them. As a result the folk artists are facing a decline and crisis of livelihood.

e. g :

Burrakatha: 

During the independence movement Burrakatha was brought into main stream in Andhra Pradesh and was used for political purposes. It played an effective role in conveying message to people and awakening them.

But now these troupes are being patronised by the government for creating awareness on various social issues. These performances are broadcast over TV. But the traditional performers have left this art form as their place has been taken over by other forms of entertainment and have no more patrons in the villages. Thus many changes took place in these arts.

45.

Discuss the changes that have come about in the lives of folk artistes during the last 50 years.

Answer»

With the coming of modern means of information and entertainment like films and television people are turning away from traditional forms of performing arts. Also landlords and head-men no longer patronise artistes like in the past. As a result the folk artistes are facing a decline and crises of livelihood. Since they have been travelling artists, they also lack modern school education and the only other profession they can adopt is one of unskilled workers.

The government has stepped in to use some of these art forms for propagation of government programmes. Many traditional troupes are now performing plays on themes like sanitation, healthcare, girl’s education, family planning and environment. Such scripts are generally provided by the government that sponsors the shows.
