Q.No
1 (b) 8 nuclei and 7 cells 1 1
2 Ethidium bromide 1 1
3 Totipotency 1 1
4 (d) Funicle 1 1
5 Intrinsic rate of natural increase/ (b–d) 1 1
6 Ceistogamous flowers which do not open at all .In such flowers, the anthers and 1
stigma lie close to each other./When anthers dehisce in the flower buds, pollen
grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination. 1 2
7 (a) Somatic hybrid of potato and tomato/ Hybrid plant by fusing the 1
protoplast of potato and tomato.
(b) Somatic hybridization/ Tissue culture 1 2
13 In Brood parasitism the parasitic bird lays its eggs in the nest of its host and lets 1
the host incubate them.
During the course of evolution, the eggs of the parasitic bird have evolved to
resemble the host’s egg in size and colour to reduce the chances of the hostbird 2
detecting the foreign eggs and ejecting them from the nest.
E .g . cuckoo (koel) and the crow. 1
14 (a) Exonuclease - (iii)
(b) Endonuclease- (iv)
(c) DNA ligase- (ii) 4 x½ 2
(d) Taq polymerase - (I)
15 1.α-1-antitrypsin -used to treat emphysema. 1
2.Human alpha-lactalbumin - nutritionally a more balanced product for human
babies than natural cow-milk 1 2
16 The tumor inducing (Ti) plasmid of Agrobacterium tumifaciens has 1
been modified into a cloning vector which is no more pathogenic to
the plants but is still able to use the mechanisms to deliver genes of 2
our interest into plants. 1
Retroviruses have also been disarmed and used to deliver desirable
genes into animal cells.
Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell
open to release DNA .This can be achieved by treating
the bacterial cells/plant or animal tissue with enzymes such as
20 lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase (plant cells), chitinase (fungus). 6x ½ 3
RNA can be removed by ribonuclease, proteins can be removed by
treatment with protease. Purified DNA ultimately precipitates out after the
addition of chilled ethanol. This can be seen as collection of fine threads in the
suspension
