Q 29 ) Mitosis takes place both in somatic and reproductive cells of plants and animals. In
multicellular organisms, mitosis produces more cells for growth and repair. Mitosis division is
responsible for the growth and development of a single-celled zygote into a multicellular
organism. Mitosis division helps in maintaining the proper size. Mitosis also helps in restoring
wear and tear in body tissues, replacing damaged or lost part, healing wounds and regeneration
of detached parts. Mitosis is a method of multiplication of unicellular organisms. It produces
diploid daughter cells with identical genetic complements (both quantitatively and qualitatively)
as in the parent cell. Mitosis is a continuous process and it is divided into four phases viz:
prophase metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

(b) What happens during the mitotic cell division?

(c) What is the characteristic feature of mitosis?

OR

Proteins are polypeptide chains made up of amino acids. There are 22 types of amino acids
joined together by peptide bonds when carboxylic groups two amino acids: Essential and non-
essential amino adds. The Primary structure of a protein is the linear sequence of amino acids in
a polypeptide chain. The first amino acid of the enzyme is called a terminal acids and the last
amino acid of the peptide is called C-terminal amino acid. The secondary structure proteins
forms a helix. There are three types of secondary structure: a helix, p pleated and collagen helix.
In tertiary structure long protein chain is folded upon itself like a hollow woollen ball to give
three dimensional view of the protein. In quaternary structure, each polypeptide develops its
own tertiary structure and function as a subunit of protein.

(a) Amino acids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group and a carboxyl group in their
structure. In addition, all naturally occurring amino acids (those which are found in proteins) are
called L-amino acids. From this, can you guess from which compound the simplest amino acid
can be made?

(b) Many organic substances are negatively charged e.g., acetic acid, while others are positively
charged e.g., ammonium ion. An amino acid under certain conditions would have both positive
and negative charges simultaneously in the same molecule. Name such form of amino acid.
