    Q11_ (@) Give the evidence that the birds have evolved from reptiles. (b) Insects, octopus, planaria and vertebrates possess eyes. Can we group these animals together on the basis of eyes that they possess ? Justify your answer giving reason. Solution: (a) Fossils provide evidence of evolution. fossil bird called Archaeopteryx, which ved in the Late Jurassic Period around 148-150 millon yoars ago, had feathered wings ike that of birds and a long bony tal, jaws with sharp teeth and various skeletal features lke that of repties. Thus, Archaeopteryx is considered a connecting ink between repties and birds. ‘Some dinosaurs had feathers that provide them insulation in cold weather, however, they could not fy using those feathers. Birds seem to have later used feathers to fly This, of course, means that birds are very closely related fo reptiles because dinosaurs were reptiles. Hence, it suggests thal birds have evalved tram repties. (b) White making groups, we need to decide the characteristics that are responsible for the more fundamental diflerences among organisms. The characteristics that account forthe broadest divisions among Iving organisms should be independent of any olher characteristics in their effects fon the fous and structural functions of organisms Ike colulniy, mode of nutrition and natura of cell Insects, octopus and planaria ara invertabrates; they cannot be grouped tagather with vertebrates, as they lack an internal skelaton with @ backbone. Also, all of them belong to diferent phyia on the basis of diferent charactersstcs trey possess. Just on the basis of one characteristic, |e, presence of ey@s, these organisms cannot be grouped together Q12 (@) Mendel crossed tal pea plants with dwarf pea plants in his experiment, Write his observations giving reason on the Fy and F2 generations. () List any two contrasting characters other than height that Mendel used i his experiments in pea plants Solution: (2) Mendel crossed tal pea plants with dwarf pea plants ~ fig Psat Pas aopant an oo ~ $4 eee | tte ‘Mendel's Observation ‘The Fy generation contained all tall plants. When Fy generation underwent selfing, the trait that was unexpressed in F (dwarf) was observed in some F proven Thu, both was, tall end dee, wore expressed in F) aeneration i the asio 31 ‘Mendel proposed that something was being passed unchanged fiom generation to generation, He called these things factions (presently called jenes). Factors contain a carry hereditary information Ho also observed that waits might nor show up in an sividuel but were pasad to the next generation (b) The to ooensting tints other haa heist usa boy Mendel ae (@)Pod colour - Green pod colour was dominant over yellow eslour (G) Seed shape - Round seed shape vie dominant over wrinkled seed shape Q13 state the laws of refraction of light. If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 108 ms~1, find the speed of ight in a medium of absolute refractive index 15 Solution: (a) There are two laws of reftaction: First law of refraction: ‘The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine ofthe angle of refraction is constant. This is known as Snel's lew. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: Here, n42 isthe relatve refractive index of medium 1 wih respect to medum 2. Second law of refraction: ‘The incident ray the refracted ray and the normal othe interface of two media at the point of ncidenca te on the same plana Ia light ray goes from medium 1 to medium 2, then te reffactve ndex of medum 1 with respect to medum 2is expressed as. seed of take matt 2 Seal o Tat som T maa = Hore, v4 and vz are the speads of light in medium 1 and madiu 2, respectively, @) Given: ‘Speed of ight in vacuum = 3 x 108 ms Refractive index of the medium Speed of Heke mene Pm = Spee af ght i
