Section A
1.Flowers once in 12 years                                                           1
2. (i) 24 (ii) 36                                                                         (1/2 each)
3. 25%         1
4. Analogous organs /same function ,            Convergent evolution    (1/2 each)
5.Latex of poppy plant (Papaver somniferum)   
Depressant and slow down body functions                                               (1/2 each)
 6. Ethidium bromide                                                                                1 
7. Meristem, It is free of virus            (1/2 each)
8.a.Parasitism  b. Commensalism                                     (1/2 each)
9. (i) Leydig cells - found in interstitial spaces between seminiferous tubules ,
secrete androgens / testosterone =½ + ½ = 1
(ii) Sertoli cells -found in between spermatocyteinside seminiferous tubules,
nourish developing spermatozoa / sperms / germ cells =½+½= 1

10.Saheli is nonsteroidal ,once a week pill,with high contraceptive value and very less
side effects.                                                                                          (1/2 x 4=2)
Or
     Be easily  available, effective and reversible with little or no side effects, user friendly,
not interfere with the sexual drive of the user or any other.                 (1/2 x 4=2)
11.Birds-Female is heterogametic and male is homogametic
ZZ-ZW mechanism
Humans-Female is homogametic and male is heterogametic
XX-XY mechanism
Egg                                                                                                        1+1=2
     
12. a) Salmonella typhi
b) Streptococcus pneumoniae
c) Wuchereria bancrofti and Wuchereria malayi
d) Entamoeba histolytica ½×4=2

                                                                                         
13.a.Spirulina 1
b.Methanogens  , cellulose     (1/2 + 1/2 )
14 Flocs-Masses of bacteria associated with fungal filaments to form mesh like structures.
These microbes consume the major parts of the organic matter of the effluent.
This significantly reduce the BOD. The sewage water is treated till the BOD is reduced.
After the treatment the bacterial flocs are allowed to sediment. This is called activated sludge.                                                                  (0.5+ 1+0.5)

15.Streptokinase-bacteria Streptococcus-clot buster. (1/2 + 1/2 )
 Cyclosporin A- Trichoderma polysporum- Immunosuppressant    (1/2 + 1/2 )
16. DDT neither excreted nor metabolized and keeps accumulating in the food chain,
interferes with Calcium metabolism, decline in bird population / due to thinning
of egg shell / premature breaking of eggs, bio-magnification.              1+1/2 + 1/2 =2

17.Sporozoites. Release of toxin haemozoin.                                                 (1+1

18. Continuous close inbreeding for several generations, reduces fertility and productivity
is called inbreeding depression =½+ ½
Advantages- produces pure lines / eliminates inferior genes , accumulation of superior
GenesAny one [1 + 1 = 2marks]
19. Nucleosome
a=DNA
b=H1 histone
c=Octamer of histone
Non histone chromosomal Proteins. These are an additional set of Proteins that are required for packaging of chromatin at higher level. (1/2 each=2)+1
20.    Pg 48 Fig 3.6 NCERT                 (1.5 for labeling+1.5 for  function)=3
                                          Or
          Pg 48 Fig 3.6 NCERT         (2 flow chart + 1for life phases)   =3
