The salient features of genetic code are as follows:
(i) The codon is triplet. 61 codons code for amino
acids and 3 codons do not code for any amino
acids, hence they function as stop codons.
(ii) Some amino acids are coded by more than one
codon; hence the code is degenerate.
(iii) The codon is read in mRNA in a contiguous
fashion. There are no punctuation.
(iv) The code is nearly universal: for example, from
bacteria to human UUU would code for
Phenylalanine (phe). Some exceptions to this
rule have been found in mitochondrial codons,
and in some protozoans.

Transfer of pollen grains (shed from the anther) to the
stigma of a pistil is termed pollination. Although
geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination
involving a pollinating agent, genetically it is similar
to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the
same plant. Some plants such as Viola, Oxalis, and
Commelina produce two types of flowers –
chasmogamous flowers which are similar to flowers
of other species with exposed anthers and stigma, and
cleistogamous flowers which do not open at all.
Cleistogamous flowers produce assured seed-set
even in the absence of pollinators. Majority of plants
use biotic agents for pollination. Only a small
proportion of plants use abiotic agents.

When only PS I is functional, the electron is
circulated within the photosystem and the
phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of
electrons. While the membrane or lamellae of the
grana have both PS I and PS II the stroma lamellae
membranes lack PS II as well as NADP reductase
enzyme. The excited electron does not pass on to
NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex
through the electron transport chain. The cyclic flow
hence, results only in the synthesis of ATP, but not
of NADPH + H+.

Plants follow different pathways in response to
environment or phases of life to form different kinds

ABO blood groups are controlled by the gene I. The
plasma membrane of the red blood cells has sugar
polymers that protrude from its surface and the kind
of sugar is controlled by the gene. The gene (I) has
three alleles IA, IB and i. The alleles IA and IB produce
a slightly different form of the sugar while allele i
does not produce any sugar. Because humans are
diploid organisms, each person possesses any two of
the three I gene alleles. IA and IB are completely
dominant over i, in other words when IA and i are
present only IA expresses (because i does not
produce any sugar), and when IB and i are present IB
expresses. But when IA and IB are present together
they both express their own types of sugars: this is
because of co-dominance.

The inheritance of flower colour in the dog flower
(snapdragon or Antirrhinum sp.) is a good example
to understand incomplete dominance. In a cross
between true-breeding red-flowered (RR) and
truebreeding white-flowered plants (rr), the F1 (Rr) (NEW NCERT 12th Page No. 197)
was pink. When the F1 was self-pollinated the F2
resulted in the following ratio 1 (RR) Red: 2 (Rr) 149. (3)
Pink: 1 (rr) White. Here the genotype ratios were UUU Phenylalanine
exactly as we would expect in any mendelian AUG Methionine
monohybrid cross, but the phenotype ratios had UAG Stop codon
changed from the 3:1 dominant : recessive ratio.
(NEW NCERT 12th Page No. 96)
What happened was that R was not completely
dominant over r and this made it possible to
distinguish Rr as pink from RR (red) and rr (white).

The monocot stem has a sclerenchymatous
hypodermis, a large number of scattered vascular
bundles, each surrounded by a sclerenchymatous
bundle sheath, and a large, conspicuous
parenchymatous ground tissue. Vascular bundles are
conjoint and closed. Peripheral vascular bundles are
generally smaller than the centrally located ones. The
phloem parenchyma is absent, and water-containing
cavities are present within the vascular bundles. Each
vascular bundle is conjoint, open, and with endarch
protoxylem in dicot stem.

Removal of C chain results in maturation of pro
insulin to insulin. The Bt toxin protein exist as
inactive protoxins but once an insect ingest the
inactive toxin, it is converted into an active form of
toxin due to the alkaline pH of the gut which
solubilise the crystals. The activated toxin binds to
the surface of midgut epithelial cells and create
pores that cause cell swelling and lysis and
eventually cause death of the insect.

Tumors are of two types: benign and malignant.
Benign tumors normally remain confined to their
original location and do not spread to other parts of
the body and cause little damage. The malignant
tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating
cells called neoplastic or tumor cells. These cells
grow very rapidly, invading and damaging the
surrounding normal tissues.

During follicular phase, Graafian follicle ruptures and
ovulation takes place. The ovulation (ovulatory phase)
is followed by the luteal phase during which the
remaining parts of the Graafian follicle transform as

amounts of progesterone which is essential for
maintenance of the endometrium. During
menstruation, shedding of endometrium takes place.

Blood is the medium of transport for O2 and CO2.
About 97 per cent of O2 is transported by RBCs in the
blood. The remaining 3 per cent of O2 is carried in a
dissolved state through the plasma. Nearly 20-25 per
cent of CO2 is transported by RBCs whereas 70 per
cent of it is carried as bicarbonate. About 7 per cent of
CO2 is carried in a dissolved state through plasma.

Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present
only in the heart. Cell junctions fuse the plasma
membranes of cardiac muscle cells and make them
stick together. Communication junctions
(intercalated discs) at some fusion points allow the
cells to contract as a unit, i.e., when one cell receives
a signal to contract, its neighbours are also
stimulated to contract.

Normal activities of the heart are regulated
intrinsically, i.e., auto regulated by specialised
muscles (nodal tissue), hence the heart is called
myogenic. A special neural centre in the medulla
oblangata can moderate the cardiac function through
autonomic nervous system (ANS). Neural signals
through the sympathetic nerves (part of ANS) can
increase the rate of heart beat, the strength of
ventricular contraction and thereby the cardiac
output. Pons contains pneumotaxic centre which
moderate the functions of the respiratory rhythm
centre.
