Read carefully the passage and select the correct answer out of given four options.Some of us are sensitive to some particles in the environment. The exaggerated response of the immune system to certain antigens present in the environment is called allergy. The substances to which such an immune response is produced are Called allergens. The antibodies produced to these are of IgE type. Common examples of allergens are mites in dust, pollen, animal dander etc. Allergy is due to release of chemicals like histamine and serotonin from the mast cells. Symptoms of allergic reactions include sneezing, water eyes, running nose and difficulty in breathing. Modern day life has resulted in lowering of immunity and more sensitivity to allergens.The substances to which an immune response is produced are called(a) Allergens(b) Vaccines(c) Antibodies(d) Antigens |

Answer» Tissue Culture:- Plant tissue culture is the technique of maintaining and growing plant cells, tissues or organs especially on artificial medium in suitable containers under controlled environmental condition. The part which is cultured is called explant i.e, any part of a plant taken cut out and grown in a test tube, under sterile conditions in special nutrient media. This capacity to generate a whole plant from any cell/explant is called celluar totipotency. In fact, the whole plant can be regenerated from any plant part (referred to as explant) or cells. Harmons used in plant tissue culture:- (i) Auxins (ii) Cytokinins (iii) Gibberellins (iv) Abscisic Acid (ABA) (v) Polyamines Environmental condition:- (i) Nutrient Medium (ii) Aseptic conditions (Sterilization) (iii) Aeration of the Tissue Methods of plant Tissue culture:- Plant tissue culture includes two major methods (a) Type of an vitro growth-cellus and suspension cultures (b) Type of explant:- Single cell culture, shoot and root cultures, somatic embryo culture meristem culture, anther culture and haploid production, protoplast cultre and somatic hybridisation, embryo culture, ovule culture, ovary culture, etc. |

Write down the four stages involved in crossing over. |
|
Answer» Crossing over:- The process of crossing over occurs by a mechanism called breakage and recunion theory of Darlington (1937). It comprises four steps- (i) Synapsis:- The homologus chromosomes come to lie close together in pairs in the zygotene substage of the prophase of meiosis-I. Their pairing is called synapsis. (ii) Tetrad formation:- The chromatids of each synapsed chromosome slightly separated and become visible in the pachytene substage of the prophase of meiosis. A group of four homologous chromatids is called a tetrad. (iii) Crossing over:- Crossing over also occurs in the pachytene substage. The adjacent non sister chromatids break at homologus sites, mutually exchange small corresponding segments and rejoin. (iv) Disjunction:- After the completion on crossing over the synaptic forces end and the homologus chromosomes move apart. |

Root hairs develop from the region ofA. maturationB. elongationC. root capD. meristematic activity |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D The root is covered at the apex by a thimble-like structure called the roat cap. It protects the tender apex of the root as it makes its way through the soil. A few millimetres above the root cap is the region of meristematic activity. The cells of this region are very small, thin-walled and with dense protoplasm. They divide repeatedly. The cell proximal to this region undergo rapid elongation and enlargement and are responsible for the growth of the root in length. This region is called the region of elongation. The cells of the elongation zone gradually differentiate and mature. Hence, this zone, proximal. From this region, some of the epidermal cells form very fine and delicate, thread-like structure called roat hairs. These root hairs absorb water and minerals from the soil. |

Hypersecretion of Growth Hormone in adults does not cause further increase in height, becauseA. growth hormone becomes inactive in adultsB. epiphyseal plates ctose after adolescenceC. bones loose their sensitivity to growth hormone in adultsD. muscle fibres do not grow in size after birth |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Chronic hypersecretion of Growth Hormone (GH) leads to gigantism or acromegally depending on the age of the individual If its hypersecretion occuis before the ossification of epiphyseal plates, it causea exaggerated and prolonged growth in long bones. It results in gigantism. In adults, hypersecretion of GH leads to accromegaly. No increase in height cccurs because of the ossified epiphyseal plate. Thinking Process Epiphyseal plate is responsible for the growth of bone. It closes after adolescence. |
