Concerning their biological function what is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Answer»

The main biological function of mitosis is cellular multiplication, a fundamental process for the growth and development of multicellular organisms, tissue renewing, asexual reproduction, etc. The biological function of meiosis is gamete formation (in gametic meiosis) or spore formation (in sporic meiosis), i.e., the production of cells qualified for sexual reproduction with half the quantity of chromosomes compared to the original cell.

There is a special type of meiosis that happens in zygotes of some algae, protozoans and fungi. This meiosis, called zygotic meiosis, has the function of reducing to a half the number of chromosomes of adult individuals that will be formed from the zygote. In species with zygotic meiosis the adult individuals are haploid and they form gametes by mitosis. These gametes fuse in pairs with others and generate a the diploid zygote that, then, undergoes meiosis to restitute the normal ploidy of adult individuals.

22.

For the biological diversity is mitosis or meiosis the more important process?

Answer»

Meiosis is the cell division process that allows the formation of gametes to sexual reproduction, with aleatory separation of each chromosome of the individual homologous pairs. These gametes can fecundate gametes from other individuals promoting a combination of homologous chromosomes from different individuals. In that manner the chromosomal recombination provided by meiosis and sexual reproduction creates individuals with dissimilar genetic patrimony from their fathers and thus promotes biological diversity.

Some fungi species and plants, for example, present sporic meiosis, i.e., a structure where half of the chromosomes of the species is generated from meiosis. This structure, by mitosis, forms gametes. Even in this case diversity comes from meiosis. Meiosis then is the cell division process that in conjunction with genetic mutations are responsible for the biological diversity.

Even in species having zygotic meiosis the aleatory separation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis creates biological diversity. 

23.

Describe Natural methods of Contraception.

Answer»

The contraceptive natural methods work on principle of avoiding chances of ovum and sperms meeting. It can be through following methods : 

(1) Periodic abstinence is one such method in which the couples avoid or abstain from coitus from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle when ovulation could be expected. As chances of fertilization are very high during this period, it is called the fertile period. Therefore, by abstaining from coitus during this period conception could be prevented. 

(2) Withdrawal or coitus enterruptus is another method in which the male partner with draws his penis from the vagina just before ejaculations so as to avoid insemination. 

(3) Lactational amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) method is based on the fact that ovulation and therefore the cycle do not occur during the period of intense lactation following parturition. Therefore, as long as mother breast-feeds the child fully, chances of conception are almost nil. However, this method has been reported to be effective only upto a maximum period of six months following parturition. As no medicines or devices are used in these methods, side effects are almost nil. Chances of failure, are also high.

24.

Describe Lamarck’s ‘evolution of life form.’

Answer»

What do you understand by population? On which factors does the population of organism depend at any place? Write in brief. 

Answer»

A population may be defined as a group of organisms of the same species occupying a certain area or space at a given time. Any species of population of any area is not certain. It keeps changing in time, depending on various factors including food availability, predation pressure and adverse weather. For study population following factors must be keep in mind– (1) number and type of members of species, (2) a certain place and area and (3) certain time.

 The density of apopulation in a given habitat during a given period, fluctuates due to changes in four basic processes, two of which (natality and immigration) contribute to an increase in population density and two (mortality and emigration) to a decrease. 

(1) Natality – It refers to the number of births during a given period in the population that are added to the initial density. 

(2) Mortality – It is the number of deaths in the population during a given period. 

(3) Immigration – It is the number of individuals of the same species that have come into tha habitat from elsewhere during the time period under consideration. 

(4) Emigration – It is the number of individuals of the population who left the habitat and gone elsewhere during the time period under consideration.

What is adaptation? Which type of adaptation is found in plants of deserts?

Answer»

Adaptation is any attribute of the organism to survive and reproduce in its habitat. Many adaptations have evolved over a long evoltionary time and are genetically fixed. It is of two types– temporary and permanent. e.g. Shrinking of pupil due to bright light is temporary adaptation while change of forelimbs in feathers for fly in birds is permanent adaptation. 

Following adaptation is found in plants of deserts– 

(a) Its roots are long, thick and goes deep in the soil. 

(b) Its stems are flesly and thick for storage of water. 

(c) To check loss of water due to vapourisation, stems are generally cuticlised and fill with dense hairs. 

(d) Leaves are changed into small scales and spines, which decreas loss of water due to vapourisation. 

(e) Leaves have suitable tissues for storage of water. 

(f) Stomata are embeeded in stomatal cavity. Example of xerophytic plants are – Opuntia, Euphorbia, Argemone, etc.

39.

Write short notes on molecular diagnosis?

Answer»

For effective treatment of a disease, early diagnosis and understanding its pathophysiology is very important. Using conventional method of diagnosis (serum and urine analysis), early detection is not possible. Recombinant DNA technology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Enzyme linked Immuno sorbent Assay (ELISA) are some of the techniques that serves the purpose of early diagnosis. Very low concentratin of pathogen (bacteria, viruses) can be defectd in early stage by amplication of their nucleic acid by PCR. PCR is now routinely used to detect HIV in suspected AIDS patients. It is being used to detect mutations in genes in suspected cancer patients too. It is powerful technique to identify many other genetic disorder.

ELISA is based on the principle of antigen-antibody interaction. Infection by pathogen can be detected by the presence of antigens (proteins, glycoproteins) or by detecting the antibodies synthesised against the pathogen. Hybridoma technology is also used to produce monoclonal antibody to detect microscopic pathogens.

What do you understand by polyembryony? Describe its causes and importance.

Answer»

Occurrence of more than one embryo in a seed is referred to as polyembryony. Polyembryony was discovered by Leeuwenhoek in 1719. It is mostly found in gymnosperms and less found in angiosperms (eg. Mango, lemon etc.). it is of two types– true polyembryony and false polyembryony. 

Causes of polyembryony are as follows– 

(1) When more than one embryosac in ovule; 

(2) When more than one egg cell in embryosac; 

(3) When after fertilization, egg is separated in many small parts and every part forms a embryo; 

(4) When any cell of embryosac forms embryo; 

(5) When embryo is formed by outer cells of embryosac. 

Importance of polyembryony are– 

(a) It is very important for horticulture scientists. 

(b) By this same types of plants may be formed. 

(c) Characters of mother plants are present in daughter plants. 

43.

What do you understand by polyembryony?

Answer»

Polyembryony is the presence of more than one embryo in the seed. It may be due to the presence of more than one egg cell in the embryo sac & more than one embryo sac in the ovule and all egg cell may get fertilized or in number of embryos may develop simultaneously from different part of the ovule like synergides and the antipodal cells from fertilized unfertilized egg cells & from the tissues of the nucleus and integumente Ex. Onion, mangoes, lemons etc.

What are the functions of glucagon?

Answer»

Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone. It is a potent hyperglycaemic hormone that acts on the liver and promotes the breakdown of glycogen to glucose (Glycogenolysis), synthesis of glucose from lactic acid and from non-carbohydrate molecules (gluconeogenesis).

Releases glucose from the liver cells, increasing the blood glucose levels. Since glucagon reduces the cellular uptake and utilisation of glucose it is called a hyperglycemic hormone. Prolonged hyperglycemia leads to the disorder called diabetes mellitus.
