a) What is inbreeding depression? b) Explain the importance of "selection" during inbreeding in cattle.

Answer» a) Continued inbreeding, especially, close inbreeding, usually reduces fertility and even productivity. This is called inbreeding depression.
b) Inbreeding increases homozygosity. Thus, inbreeding exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection.
Where, there is selection at each step, increase the productivity of inbred population. A superior female, in case of cattle, is the cow or buffalo that produces more milk per lactation.

Seccondary treatment of the sewage is also called Biological treatment Justify this statement and explain the process.

Answer» Secondary treatment or Biological treatment : In secondary treatment , the primary effluent is passed into large acration tanks where it is contantly agitated mechanically and air is pumped to it . This allows vigorous growth of useful acrobic microbes into flocs. While growing , these microbes consume the major part of the organic matter in the effluent.
This significantly reduces the BOD of the effluent. BOD is a measure of the organic matter present in the water . the greater the BOD of waste water , more is its polluting potential.
BOD refers to the amount of the oxygen that would be consumed if all the organic matter in one litre of water were oxidised by bacteria.
Once the BOD of sewage or waste water is reduced significantly the effluent is then passed into a settling tank where the bacteria , flocs, allowed to sediment . this sediment is called activated sludge .A small part of the activated sludge is pumped back into the acration tank to serve as the inooculum.
The remaining major part of the slugde is pumped into lage tanks called anaerobic sludge digesters . Here other kinds of bacteria , which grow anaerobically , digest the bacteria and the fungi in the sludge . During this digestion , bacteria produce a mixture of gases such as methane , hydrogen sulphide and candon dioxide . these gases form biogas and can be used as source of energy as it s inflammable . the efflent from the secondary treatment plant is generally released into natural wator bodies like rivers and streams.
Secondary treatment , of the sewage is also called biological treatment because in secondary treatment , biological factors/organisms play a major role in treatment . So it is called Bioligical treatment.

Describe any two modes by which apomictic seeds and be produced.

Answer» Types of apomixis in flowering plants
Non-recurrent apomixis : In this type "the megaspore mother cell undergoes the usual meiotic divisions and a haploid embryo sac meqagametophyte is formed. The new embryo may then arise either from the egg (haploid parthenogenesis) or from some other cell of the gametophyte (haploid apogamy)." The haploid plants have half as many chromosomes as the mother plant, and "the process is not repeated from one generation to another"
(i) Recurrent apomixis, is now more often called gametophytic apomixis : In this type, the megagametophyte has the same number of chromosomes as the mother plant because meiosis was not completed. It generally arises either from an archesporial cell or from some other part of the nucellus.
(ii) Adventive embryony, also called sporophytic apomixis, sporophytic budding, or nucellar embryony: Here there may be a megagametophyte in the ovule, but the embryos do not arise from the cells of the gametophyte, they arise from cells of nucells or the integument. Adventive embryony is important in several species of Citrus, in Garcinia, Euphorbia dulcis, Mangifera indica etc.
(iii) Vegatative apomixis : In this type "the flowers are replaced by bulbils or other vegetative propagules which frequently germinate while still on the plant".
(iv) Vegatative apomixis is important in Allium, Fragaria, Agave, and some grasses among others.

Explain how natural selection operates in natural by taking an example of white winged and dark winged moths of England.

Answer» In the nineteenth century it was noticed that in towns and cities it was actually the black form of the moth that was more common than the pale peppered form. Industrialisation and domestic coal fires had caused sooty air pollution which had killed off lichens and blackened urban tree trunks and walls. So, now it was the plae form of the moth that was more obvious to predators, while the melanic form was better camouflaged and more likely to survive and produce offspring. As a result, over successive generations, the black moths came to outnumber the pale forms in towns and cities.
Since, moths are short-lived, this evolution by natural selection happened quite quickly. For example, the first black Peppered Moth was recorded in Manchester in 1848 and by 1895 98% of Peppered Moths in the city were black.

(a) Write symbolically the `beta`-decay process of `""_(15)^(32)P`. (b) Derive an expression for the average life of a radionuclide . Give its relationship with the half-life.

Answer» (b) Average or Mean Life : Average life is defined as the total life time of all the atoms of the element divided by the total number of atoms present in the sample of the element .
By definition , average life time of the radioactive element is
`tau = (int_(0)^(N_(0)) t dN)/(N_(0))`
Since , `" " dN = - lambda N` and `N = N_(0) e^(-lambda t)`
`therefore " " dN = - lambda N_(0) e^(-lambda t)` dt
When N = 0 then `t = oo` and when N = `N_(0)` then t = 0
`tau= (int_(oo)^(0) t. - lambda N_(0) e^(-lambda t) dt)/( N_(0)) = lambda int_(oo)^(0) t e^(-lambda t) dt`
`tau = lambda [ (t e^(-lambda t))/(lambda) - (e^(-lambda t))/(lambda^(2))]_(0)^(oo) " "` (Using integration by parts )
`tau = lambda [ (0-0) - (0 - (1)/(lambda^(2)))] = lambda xx (1)/(lambda^(2)) = (1)/(lambda)`
Since , `" " lambda = (0.693)/(t_(1//2))`
`therefore " " tau = (1)/((0.693)/(t_(1//2))) = (tau_(1//2))/(0.693) = 1.44 tau_(1//2)`
Hence , the average life period of a radioactive element is 1.44 times the half life period of the element .
