What experimental procedure will you follow to prove phototropism and geotropism in germinating seeds ?

Answer»

Aim : To show phototropism and geotropism in germinating seeds. 

Apparatus : Glass jar, soil, bean, seed, water. 

Procedure :

(i) Take a glass jar with soil. Sow a bean seed near the wall of the jar. 

(ii) After 4 – 5 days you will notice seed germination. 

(iii) Keep the jar under Sun. Observe how roots and shoots grow. 

(iv) Then tilt the glass jar and keep the plant horizontally for more than 1 week. 

Observation : 

(i) Observe the plantlet when plant keeps erect. Shoot will grow towards sun and root towards gravity (soil). 

(ii) When keep the plant horizontally, after one week you observe that shoot take tilt grows towards Sun and root will grow towards gravity

What are the reasons for selecting pea plant by Mendel to conduct his experiments ?

Answer»

Mendel selected pea plant for his experiments, because 

(1) Pea plants have short life cycle. 

(2) They exhibit seven pairs of contrasting characters which are easily recognizable such as smooth or wrinkled seeds, short or tall, height etc. 

(3) Hybrids and their offspring are fertile, that is continuous cross and self fertilizations were possible.

(4) Pea plants can be self pollinated and cross pollinated. 

(5) These plants are easy to grow either on the ground or its pots. 

(6) These plants have short maturity and can produce large number of seeds in a single generation.

13553.

Why does mendel selected garden pea plant for his experiments?

Answer»

Mendal selected garden pea plants for his experiments because.

(i) They grow quickly & easier to study.

(ii) Pea plants can be crossed or self-pollinated and have a flower structure that limits accidental contact.

(iii) garden pea has various contracting characters.

13554.

Mention the advantages of selecting pea plant for experiment by Mendel

Answer»

Mendel selected pea plants to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring.
He selected a pea plant because of the following features.

  •  Peas have many visible contrasting characters such as tall/dwarf plants, round/wrinkled seeds, green/yellow pod, purple/white flowers, etc.
  •  Peas have bisexual flowers and therefore undergo self pollination easily. Thus, pea plants produce offsprings with same traits generation after generation.
  •  In pea plants, cross pollination can be easily achieved by emasculation in which the stamen of the flower is removed without affecting the pistil.
  •  Pea plants have a short life span and produce many seeds in one generation.

Differentiate between the following:(a) Dominance and Recessive(b) Homozygous and Heterozygous(c) Monohybrid and Dihybrid.

Answer»
DominanceRecessive

A dominant factor or allele expresses itself in the presence or absence of a recessive trait.

A recessive trait is able to express itself only in the absence of a dominant trait.

For example, tall plant, round seed, violet flower, etc. are dominant characters in a pea plant.

For example, dwarf plant, wrinkled seed, white flower, etc. are recessive traits in a pea plant.

\[ Cr _{2} O _{7}^{2-}+ C _{2} O _{4}^{2-} \stackrel{ H ^{+}}{\longrightarrow} Cr ^{3+}+ CO _{2} \] Balance by onidation method

Answer»

Cr2O72- + C2O4-2 \(\xrightarrow{H^{+}}\) Cr+3 + Co2

hall cell reaction

CrO72- + 6e → 2cr+3 - (reduction)

C2O4-2 → 2 Co+ 2e(oxidation)

Reduction half reaction.

balancing oxygen atom - Cr2O7-2 + 6e → 2Cr+3 + 7H2O

balancing Hydrogenation

Cr2O72- + 6e- + 14 H+ → 2 Cr+3 + 7 H2O  --------(i)

Oxidation half reaction 

C2O4-2 → 2CO2 + 2e-

Multiplying by 3 , we got,

3C2O4-2 → 6CO2 + 6e --------(ii)

adding equation (i) and (ii) , we got-

Cr2O7-2 + 14H+ + 3C2O4-2 → 2 Cr+3 + 6CO2 + 7H2O -----(iii)

A conductivity cell find with 0.1 M KCI gives at `25^(@) C` a resistance of 85.5 other . The conductivity of 0.1 M KCI at `25^(@) C` is 0.01286 `"ohm"^(-1) cm^(-1) `. The same cell filled with 0.005 M HCI gives a resistance of 529 ohms. What is the molar conductivity of HCI solution at `25^(@) C`?

Answer» Correct Answer - Molar conductivity of HCI solution . `=^^_(m_((HCI)))`
`=416 ohm^(-1) cm^(2) mol^(-1)`
Given : Resistance Of KCI solution = `R_(KCI) = 85.5 Omega`
Conductivity of KCI solution `= k_(KCI) = 0.01286 ohm^(-1) cm^(-4)`
Concentration = C= 0.005 M HCI
Resistance of HCI solution = `R _(soln) = 529 ohms `
Molar conductivity of HCI `= ^^_(m(HCI)) = ? `
Conductivity `= (" Cell constant ")/("Resistance ")`
`k_(KCI) = ( b) /(R_(KCI))`
`:. b =(k_(KCI)) xx R_(KCI) = 0.01286 xx 85.5 = 1.1 cm^(-1)`
Conductivity of HCI solution
`k_("soln") = ( b )/(R_("soln")) = (1.1)/(529) = 2.08 xx 10^(-3) ohm^(-1) cm^(-1)`
Molar conductivity `^^_(m_(HCI)) = .(k_("soln")xx 1000)/(C )`
`=(2.08 xx 10^(-3) xx 1000)/(0.005)`
`= 416 " ohm"^(-1) cm^(2) mol^(-1)`

The polymer made of which of the following monomer can be stretches and still retain its physical form. (1) Buna-N (2) Bakelite(3) Terylene(4) Nylon-6,6

Answer»

Correct option is (1) Buna-N

In elastomeric polymers, the polymer chains are held together by the weakest intermolecular forces. These weak binding forces permit the polymer to be stretched. A few 'crosslinks' are introduced in between the chains, which help the polymer to retract to its original position after the force is released as in vulcanised rubber. The examples are buna-S, buna-N, neoprene, etc.
