Itisa foetal sex determination test based on the chromosomal pattern in cells of the amniotic fluid surrounding the developing embryo. In this method, the amniotic fluid of the developing foetus is analyzed for the foetal cells and dissolved substances to test the presence of certain genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, haemophilia, sickle-cell anaemia, etc., to determine the survivability of the foetus. Itis banned in our country to legally check the increasing menace of female foeticides.Hand Book for Examination 24. Whena single gene exhibit multiple phenotypic expression. It is knownas pleiatropy. Example: Pheriyl ketonuria (PKU) is caused due to mutation in the single gene manifests itself through phenotypic expression characterized by mental retardation, reduction in hair and skin pigmentation. 25. Shum cultivation (Slash and burn agriculture): \is a method of cultivation, practiced by farmers of north - eastern states of India. They cut down the trees of the forest and burn.

The process of development of embryo from the zygote is called embryogenesis. Based on the development of embryo animals are categorized into O Oviparous animals: ‘These animals lay fertilized eggs and further development of zygote takes place, outside the body of the female. Example : Reptiles and birds. O Viviparous animals Inthese animals fertilization is intemal and further development of zygote takes place, inside the body of the female organism. Example : Mammals Intentional or voluntary terminatiori of pregnancy, before foetus reaches maturity is called medical termination of pregnancy. Advantages : 1 MTPs are essential in cases, where continuation of the pregnancy could be harmful or even, fatal either to the mother or to the foetus or both. U MTP helps to get-rid of unwanted pregnancies either due to casual unprotected intercourse or failure of the contraceptive used during coitus or rapes. Disadvantages : @ Itis being misused to eliminate illegal and unwanted pregnancies and indiscriminate Killing of female foetus. 32.

Significance : © It provides a protein rich food supplement for human beings and animals. Q Spirulina can be grown in waste water (from potato processing plant) to produce protein rich biomass, treated as food. Itreduces environmental pollution. b) Examples : O Spirulina OQ Methylophilus and Methylotrophus . Restriction enzymes (Restriction endonucleases and exonucleases), polymerase enzymes and ligases. Q Cloning veetors: Example : Plasmids, p8R322 (artificial plasmid), Aesbacts rium tumifaciens. Q Competent host Example : Escher ‘ichia coli (E.coli). Q Bioreactors : Example : Stirred tank and sparged stirred tank bioreactors Sex determination in human beings is X-Y method. Itis of male heterogametic type, in which males produce two kinds of sperms. 50 percent of the total sperm produced carry the X chromosome and the rest 50 percent have Y chromosome besides the autosomes. Females, however, produice only one type of ovum with X-chromosome. The sex of the ¢ the ovum. When sperm carrying X offspring depends on the sperm that fertiliz chromosome fertilizes the egg, the zygote with XX chromosomes develops into a female on the other hand sperm with Y chromosome fertilizes the egg the zygote with XY chromosomes develops into a male offpring PART-D Ovule is the megasporangium. It develops inside'the ovary from a structure called placenta. Ovule is attached to the placenta bya stalk called funicle. The point of attachment ofthe ovule to the finicle is known as hilum. The ovule encloses nucellus. Each ovule has one orHand Book for Examination two protective integuments, which surrounds the ovule except at the tip having small opening called micropyle and opposite side of the of micropylar end is called chalaza, Generally single embryo sac or female gametophyte is located in nucellus. The cells of nucellus have abundant reserve food material and provide nourishment to the developing embryo. Hilum Outer integument Inner fntegument Nucellus 38. Stanley Miller’s apparatus Stanley Milleran American scientist in 1953 demonstrated chemical evolution of life by creating primordial conditions on earth such as high temperature, voleanie storms and oyHand Book for Examination 39, 40. ea reducing atmosphere containing CH, H,,NH, etc. He created electric discharge ina closed flask containing CH,, H,, NH, and water vapourat 800°C, He observed formation ofaminoacids. ‘Conclusion: In similar experiments others observed, formation of sugars, nitrogen bases, pigment and fats, Analysis of meteorite content also revealed similar compounds indicating that similar processes are occurring elsewhere in space. With this limited evidence, the first part of the conjectured story, i.c., chemical evolution was more or less accepted, The disorders caused due to either alteration or mutation in the single gene (Mendelian disorders) or absence or excess or abnormal arrangement of one or more chromosomes (Chromosomal disorders) are called genetic disorders, a) Haemophilia: ‘This is a sex-linked recessive genetic disease. It shows its transmission from unaffected carrier females to some of the male progeny. Itis caused due to the absence of proteins involved in the clotting of blood. This results in non-stop bleeding even from asimplecutin an affected individual. The heterozygous female (carrier) for haemophilia may transmit the disease to sons. The possibility of'a female becoming haemophilic is extremely rare because the mother of such a female has to be at least a carrier and the father should be haemophilic. The family pedigree of Queen Victoria shows many haemophilic descendants as she was a carrier of the disease, b) ‘This is an autosome linked recessive genetic disorder. The defect is caused by the substitution of Glutamic acid (Glu) by Valine (Val) at the sixth position of the beta globin chain of the haemoglobin molecule, This results due to the single base substitution at the sixth codon ofthe beta globin gene from GAG to GUG The mutant haemoglobin molecule undergoes polymerisation underlow oxygen tension causing the change in the shape of the RBC from biconcave disc to elongated sickle like structure. The disease is controlled by a single pair of allele, Hb’ and Hb‘. Itis transmitted from parents to the offspring when both the partners are heterozygous. Only homozygous individuals for HbS(HbSHb*) show the diseased phenotype. Heterozygous (H*AHb) individuals appear apparently unaflected but they are carrier of the disease. ‘kle - cell anaemia: Innate immunity is anon specific type of body defence that is present at the time of birth. Types of barriers of innate immunity = i Physical barriers: Skin is the main barrier which prevents the entry of microbes and mucus coating of the epithelium of respiratory, gastro- intestinal and urinogenital tracts also help in trapping microbes.Hand Book for Examination 41. 42, O Physiological barriers: Acid in the stomach, saliva in the mouth, tears from eyes—all prevent microbial growth. O Cellular barriers: Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. Q Cytokine barriers: A Virus-infected cells secrete proteins called interferons which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection. a) The technique of regenerating a whole plantin a culture medium using explants, under sterile conditions is called tissue culture. b) Any part ofa plant taken outand grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media. Meristems (apical and axillary) are used as explants to produce virus free plants. ) The process of fusion of protoplasts from two different varieties of plants, each havinga desirable character, and growing them to forma new plant is called somatic hybridization, Example: Protoplast of potato is fused with that of tomato to produce a somatic hybrid called pomato. Q Fermented Beverages * Yeasts have been used for the production of beverages like wine, beer, whisky, brandy orrum. * Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used for bread-making and for fermenting malted cereals and fruit juices to produce ethanol. Q Antibiotics: The fungus Penicillium notatum is used to obtain Penicillin, O Organic a © Aspergillus niger is used for production of citric acid. is used for production of acetic acid, © Clostridium butylicum is used for production of butyric acid, * Lactobacillus is used for production of lactic acid. Enzymes: Microbial enzymes have many economic uses. + Lipases are used in detergents to remove oil stains from laundry. « -Pectinases and proteases are used to clarify bottled juices. * Streptokinase from Streptococcus is used as clot-buster in patients with heart attack (myocardial infarction). © Acetobacter acet Q Bioactive molecules : © Cyelosporin A: It is an immunosuppressive agent produced by Trichoderma polysporum is used in organ transplant patients. * Statins: [tis produced by yeast Monascus purpureus is used as blood cholesterol loweringagent.Hand Book for Examination VIA3.a)| 44, 45.

Symptoms : Symptoms of altitude sickness include nausea, fatigue and heart palpitation. Quick physiologicat adaptations in the body to overcome altitude sickness : O Body compensates low oxygen availability by increasing RBC production. © Decreasing the binding affinity of haemoglobin and 0 Increasing breathing rate. a) The cyclic movement of nutrient elements through the various components of an ‘ecosystem is called nutrient cycling or biogeachemical cycle. There are two types of biogeochemical cycles, namely The gaseous eyele: Example: Nitrogen, carbon cycle. Q Sedimentary cycle: Example: Phosphorus, Sulphur cycle, b) The reservoir of gaseous cycle exists in the atmosphere whereas the reservoir of sedimentary cycle is located in earth crust. ©)[__ Carbon cycle _ Phosphorus cycle O There is respiratory release of ‘There is no respiratory release of carbon into atmosphere. phosphorus into atmosphere. TF Atmospheric inputs of carbon ‘Atmospheric inputs of phosphoras through through rainfalare maximum, rainfall are much smaller, @ Gaseous exchanges of carbon Gaseous exchanges of phosphons between organismand between organism and environment are environment are maximum, negligible, ‘Human insulin consists of two polypeptide chains A und B, linked by disulphide bonds, The human insulin is synthesised as a prohonnone which contains an extrastretch called C -peptide.
