(f) Choose between the two options to answer the

question specified in the brackets for th following: [5]e

An example is illustrated below.

Example: Lenticels or stomata. (Which one remains open always?)

Answer: Lenticels (i) Insulin or glucagon.

(Which one lowers the blood sugar level?) (ii) Homologous organs or analogous organs.

Which one provides the actual mechanism of evolution?)

(iii) Population density or demography. (Which one is important for ecological . studies of an area?)

(iv) Identical or fraternal twins.

(\Which one may or may not be look alike but are genetically similar?)

(v) Ampulla or organ of Corti: (Which one is called the actual organ of hearing?)

(i) Insulin

(ii) Analogous organs

(iii) Demography

(iv) Identical twins

(v) Organ of Corti

(g) The figure given below shows a certain stage of

cell division with four chromosomes. [5]

(i) Name the parts of the chromosome labelled A and B.

(ii) Name the structure C. What is its function? (iii) Name the type of division. Give a reason.

(iv) Name the stage of division.

(v) What. is the diploid number for the organism from which the cell is taken?

A115. (1) A is a chromatid and B is a centromere

(ii) C is the spindle fibre to which the chromatids attach. The spindles pull the chromatids apart.

(iii) Mitosis. It is because the chremosomes line up on the spindle singly. If it was meiosis, then the
chromosomes would be in homologous pairs.

(iv) Metaphase

(v) Four

Concave lens
Ans. (i) a-cells --> Glucagon

(ii) Phloem --> Translocation of food (iii) Low rate of transpiration --) Cactus (iv) Micturition -) Passing out
urine

(v) Acetylcholine --) Neurotransmitter

Question 2

(a) The diagram below represents an experimental set up to demonstrate a vital process. Study the
same and then answer the questions that follow: .

[5]

Sugar solution

Thistle fimnel C CC » Water "" Parchment paper V

(i) Name the above process. (ii) Define the above named process. (iii) Mention two advantages of this
process to

the plant.

(iv) Name two liquids that could be used in this experiment.

(v) Why did the level of liquid in the vertical

tube rise?
Ans. (i) Osmosis

(ii) The passage of water or solvent molecules from the region of their higher concentration to the
region of their lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

(iii) Two advantages of osmosis: I It helps in water absorption. 0 It helps in stomatal movements.

(iv) Distilled water and concentrated sugar solution. (v) The level of liquid in the vertical tube rises

. due to the movement of water molecules lntO it through the parchment paper.
