The combining up of vascular compartments of scion and stock cause joining of the two parts in grafting. 

The plant contributing scion should be able to produce flowers and fruits quicker than those plants which are planted through seeds. 

The plant contributing root stock should be able to keep the plant more resistant to diseases and pests.

Primary sex organs are those organs of reproductive system, which directly participate in the process of reproduction. In humans males, the primary sex organs are testes, and in females, the primary sex organs are ovaries. Apart from producing sperms and ovum, these organs also release some reproductive hormones, namely, testosterone (from testis) and estrogen and progesterone (from ovaries), which control the growth, function and maintenance of other reproductive system organs, like epididymis, vas deferens (in males) fallopian tube and uterus (in females), also called the secondary sex organs. Hence primary sex organs control the growth, function and maintenance of secondary sex organs.

The sector in which small and scattered units are outside the control of the government is called unorganized sector. It consists of low wages, no job security, no paid leaves, no health facilities, etc.

The sector in which small and scattered units are outside the control of the government is called unorganized sector.

A) Industry to service

A) Amerigo Vespucci

(a) 

1. Agriculture was the largest producing sector in 1972 – 73. 

2. Out of the aggregate GDP of 5,86,346 the contribution of agriculture was 2,43,082 and the remaining industry was 1,33,912 and services was 2,09,352.

(b) 

1. Services vyas the largest producing sector in 2009 -10 .

The DNA replication processes, though precise are not absolutely accurate and thus mistakes can be made. These mistakes in DNA copying mechanism result in variations in the population, which are necessary for the survival of individual in a population. This process of creating variations speeds up in sexual reproduction. Here, two individuals of a population, with different patterns of accumulation of variations, interact and participate in producing a new generation. These variations are unique. Thus, the diversity in characters of offsprings is promoted in sexual reproduction.

i) • Sexual reproduction includes crossing over of chromosomes which leads to variations. 

• These variations are responsible for making the existing species better and healthier and then ultimately to evolution. 

• Sexual reproduction could also lead to speciation which is the formation of new species from the pre-existing one. 

• Since it involves 2 parents so, the offspring receive characteristics from both the parents. Also, it is a time-consuming process so it somehow controls the population explosion which could have been there due to asexual reproduction.

ii) After the 14th day of menstruation cycle, the egg is taken to the uterus where it waits for the sperm to reach and fertilize it. 

Female receives sperms after sexual intercourse, sperms travel through the vagina and reaches the egg in the uterus and fertilize it. After fertilization zygote is formed. zygote divides and forms an 8 celled structure called blastocyst. This blastocyst attaches itself to the uterine wall by a process called implantation. From here it further divides and develops into a fetus and then ultimately into a baby.

Since the offspring formed from sexual reproduction has genetic material from two parents thus it exhibits more variations.

1. The graph explains about the shares of different sectors of employment in the years of 1972-73 and 2009-2010 

2. The agriculture sector is the largest employer in India. 

3. Service sector 

4. Industrial sector.

1. Regarding service sector, limited number of skilled workers in organised sector are getting higher wages. 

2. On the other hand, the large number of unskilled workers in unorganised sector are not able to get minimum wages. They are living in miserable conditions. 

3. Self employed, shop keepers, migrant labourers etc., do not have better working conditions, regular employment and other allowances. 

4. They are being forced to continue in the same job due to the lack of required skills and alternative employment sources. 

5. By considering these situations, the government has to plan suitable programmes for the balanced development of service sector.

1. According to this paragraph many workers are shifting from industries to service sectors in developed countries. 

2. The service sector plays an important and key role in economy. 

3. Most of the production activities are now in service sector. 

4. There are three sectors in the economy. 

They are agriculture, industrial and service sectors. 

5. In developing countries many people depend upon agriculture sector whereas In developed countries it is the industrial sector which gives more work but recently we observe the trend that many people are shifting from industrial sector to service sector for their livelihoods.

6. I think that the people want to work in the sector which is providing more opportunities and where security, safety and respect are available. 

7. Job in service sector provides these to some extent better than the other sectors the people shift toward service sector.

1. Wages to be increased 

2. Regular payment of wages 

3. Overtime work should be paid 

4. Sick leave provision and paid leave.

5. Better working conditions 

6. Retirement benefits to be provided 

7. Security in jobs 

8. Medical and health facilities

(i) Nowadays employment opportunities are available more in secondary and tertiary sectors.

(ii) Last 50 years onwards the changes are occurred in GDP in all sectors, but employment is not increased. Yet, employment opportunities are increased in secondary and tertiary sectors. 

Reasons:

1. Establishment of industries in public and private sectors. 

2. Increasing of technological methods. 

3. Increasing of educational facilities. 

4. Due to globalisation, Multi-national companies are entered and industrial and service sectors are developed. 

5. Transportation facilities are developing. 

6. Migrations are increased. 

7. Increasing of local foreign investment.

1. It is explained in this paragraph that the small farmers in India have not sufficient work in the fields but they are not getting sufficient work as well as income. 

2. There is a suggestion for the families like Gayathri to go elsewhere for additional work so as to earn more income. 

3. Lakhs of families in India are small families having less than two acres of cultivable land. 

4. All the family members depend on the small piece of land. 

5. They get less work and they don’t work up to their potentials. 

6. This condition is called underemployment. 

7. According to my opinion the government should identify these people and plan to design various schemes to be implemented. 

8. In villages many people have no sufficient work. Many developmental works are needed for villages and towns. 

9. These people will be involved in that works and so they earn some income.

10. People also think to work by organizing small shops, working as repair persons, transport persons and so on.

1. According to this paragraph there is no full employment in agriculture. 

2. Partial employment is there. It means many people depend on agriculture but they are not fully employed. 

3. If some of them move to another sector it will not affect the production. 

4. In other words, it is called disguised unemployment. There are so many farmers like Gayathri owning about 2 or less acres of land. 

5. All the five members are working in the same fields though they don’t have sufficient work. 

6. My suggestion is that the government should collect data of this situation throughout the state and prepare plans to provide work by implementing programmes like MGNREGA, Watershed Development Program, Water Conservation Movement (Neeti Samrakshana Udyamam), and other activities. 

7. Thus the people are engaged in some useful work and so they get sufficient work and improve their living conditions.

1. The contribution of service sector to GDP has grown considerably. 

2. But all service activities are not grown equally. 

3. Only highly skilled and educated workers, which are limited in number, are earning good income. 

4. Whereas a very large number of workers engaged in services such as small shopkeepers, repair persons, transport persons, etc. are a part of service sector.

5. But they barely manage to earn a good income. 

6. They have no other alternative opportunity for work. 

7. Hence, we can conclude that only a part of the service sector is growing.

1. There is a great shift from the agricultural sector to industrial and service sectors.

2. The table is about the percentage of workers employed in different sectors in India in 1972-73 and in 2009-10.

3. Agriculture sector is providing more employment in 1972-73. It is about 74%.

4. The sector which has doubled in providing employment is industrial sector. 11% has become 22% from 1972-73 to 2009-10.

5. 21% of employment is decreased in agriculture sector. (74% – 53%)

6. The employment in agriculture is decreasing because the workers are shifting to other sectors as there is no prosperity in agriculture.

The money value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country borders during the year.

B) Contour line

Correct option is D) Plains

A) Waterbodies

A) historical map

A) topography

Correct option is D) 7^th

The answer is (c) pollination, fertilisation, embryo, seedling

• Pollination leads to fertilization after which embryo is formed. 
• Seedling comes out from embryo

Syngamy. (Fusion of egg cell with male gamete that leads the formation of zygote)

During 2004-05, 92% of all workers contributed 50% of GDP whereas only 8% of people had decent employment and contributed 50% of GDP.

Nearly 80% of rural households in India are in the small and marginal farmer category.

Places of work of organized sector are registered by the government and have to follow its rules and regulations.

Gross Domestic:

It is the value of all final goods and services produced within a Product country during a particular year.

We should invest in many industries, in both rural and semi-urban areas, so that we are able to produce many more goods and services. 

We not only have to generate new employment opportunities but also train many workers to work efficiently and with machines.

Small and scattered units where Jobs are low-paid and not regular and have remained largely outside the control of the government.

Employment shifts: 

In 1972-73 the shares of employment in Agricultural, Service and Industrial sectors were 74%, 15% and 11% whereas In 2009-10 they were 53%, 25%, and 22% respectively. This phenomenon is known as the employment shift.

Final Goods: 

The goods become final if they are not used further in producing goods to be sold.

This kind of unemployment is hidden in contrast to someone who does not have a job and is clearly visible as unemployed. Hence it is called ‘disguised unemployment.
