No. 1 Reproduction in organisms. Region Tinsukia

Q 1 Rahul observed green coloured long algal filaments in a stagnant pond, which are single layer

aggregation of vertically arranged cells. What sort of strategy can this type of cellular aggregation

adopt for multiplication?

A Fragmentation (vegetative method).

Q 2 Both the prefixes ( Uni- and Mono- ) have the same meaning i.e. one in number. Does it mean

that uni-sexual and mono-ecious species are the same?

A Unisexual is used in reference to the flower (presence of either anther or carpel). Monoecious

is used in reference to the plant (morphologically one plant bearing both the sexes in their

flowers.

Q 3 In oogamy, female gamete is large and non-motile but the male gamete is reverse in its

properties. Why such type of adjustment is there in higher organisms?

A In oogamy, female gamete being larger and non motile, is an adaptation for having more food

reserves that may be required for the future development. The male gamete has to move to

reach the counterpart, so it has the machinery for its reaching and delivering the

chromosomes. A lot of cytoplasm will means extra weight also. So both the sex cells have

specialized themselves for their functions.

Q

4

Name organisms that reproduce to produce genetically similar individuals. What is the type of

reproduction do they follow? Why are the individuals so similar?

A Unicellular organisms. Asexual reproduction. Because they are morphologically and

genetically

identical.

Q

5

How do gemmules and gemma cup differ from each other?

A Gemmules are the internal buds found in coelenterates and sponges.

Gemmae are the external buds found in bryophytes.

Q 6 Fill in the blanks with their correct vegetative propagules:

a) Agave ---------------

b) Hydra----------------

c) Onion-----------

d) Mint------------

A a) Bulbil b) Buds c) Bulb d) Sucker

Q 7 In a pond ecosystem you may find the plant with purple flowers that spread very fast to cover

the entire pond within a short span of time. How does it spread? How does it harm the aquatic

body?

A It is water hyacinth which reproduces by vegetative mean i.e. offset mean. It causes floods and

popularly known as `terror of Bengal`.

Q

8

In turkey there is no males found. Why? How is it possible? Give term for such type of

reproduction.

A It is parthenogenesis. In turkey diploid egg mother cell directly developed in to a female

zygote.

Q

9

It is found that in organisms like algae, fishes and amphibians gametes are produced in a large

number. Suggest a reason to support your answer.

A To enhance the chance of syngamy that occurs externally in water.

Q

10

In algae and fungi zygote would not undergone meiosis immediately, than what is its future?

A It develops a thick wall i. e. resistant against dessication and damage and undergone resting

before meiosis to pass out the unfavourable conditions.

No.3 Human Reproduction Tinsukia Region

Q What lead to menstruation in the absence of fertilisation?

A In the absence of fertilization, corpus luteum degenerates which causes disintegration of

endometrium leading to menstrual cycle.

Q Why not all copulations lead to fertilisation and pregnancy?

A Reason: fertilisation can only occur if the ovum and sperms are carried simultaneously.

Q A mother gets infected with a virus which causes German measles during pregnancy. Is it

possible that the foetus will also get infected? How ? What are its ill-effect on the foetus?

A Yes, it is possible that the foetus gets infected. These viruses may diffuse through placenta. It

may cause malformations in the developing embryo.

Q How is the action of LH different in male and female?

A In male, LH is called ICSH (Interstitial cells stimulating hormone) which stimulates the leydig cells of the testis to secrete testosterone. In females, LH promotes ovulation and controls the

Q It is found that in the Transcription process the DNA strand with 3’5’ is always transcribed

.Why ?

A As RNA polymerase can work only in 5’---> 3’ direction.

Q Where are UTRs located on m RNA ? Find out the UTRs from this segment of mRNA - 5’ UCG

A UTRs are present at both 5’-end (before start codon) and at 3’ –end (after stop codon). UCG,

AGC,GAG &GAA .

Q What is the importance of Lactose in Lac-Operon ?

A It induces Lac- Operon by binding with repressor protein.

Q What are the different attachment sites on t RNA ?

A Amino acid , anticodon ,enzyme and ribosome attachment sites .

A BAC- Bacterial artificial chromosome , YAC- Yeast artificial chromosome .

Q What will happen if both template and coding strands of a DNA segment take part in the

transcription process ?

A If both the stands take part in transcription (1) one segment of DNA Would be coding for two

different proteins which will complicate the genetic information machinery. (2)Two RNA

molecules will be produced, complementary to each other, hence form a double stranded RNA.

Above picture shows industrial melanism. Prior to industrial revolution England had plenty of lichen flora on the bark of trees giving light coloured background suitable for white coloured moth but dark coloured moths were easily predated by the predators declining their numbers. After industrial revolution lichens disappeared from the tree barks which caused easy predation of white coloured moths than dark coloured declining the numbers of white moth in course of time.

A Alien species are species that have been introduced from another geographic region to an area outside its natural range. For example;- Parthenium, Lantana and Eicchornia are invaded the native species of India and causes environmental damage. Introduction of African catfish Clarias gariepinus in India for aquaculture purpose is posing threat to many indigenous catfish.

A As plants could not move away from their predators and harsh environmental conditions, many of them have become extinct. Animals can move away from harmful environment and their predators and survive better and so more diversity.

Q 3 Species extinction is accelerating at a fast speed mainly due to human activities. Group

such activities under four major heads and explain.

A Habitat loss and fragmentation; over exploitation; Alien Species invasions and co-extinctions.

Q 4 Why is the number of prokaryotic species not yet estimated till now?

A Conventional taxonomic methods are not suitable for the identification of prokaryotic species.
