Solutions:
S1.Ans.(d)
Sol.A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people.The mutation occurs in a person’s egg or sperm cell but is not present in any of the person’s other cells
S2.Ans.(b)
Sol.
S3.Ans.(c)
SOl.These non-living cells are elongated with lignified cell walls. The main difference between tracheids and vessels is that vessels have perforations at the end plates which make them a tube-like, long structure while tracheids do not have end plates
S4.Ans.(d)
Sol.
S5.Ans.(a)
Sol.The total energy value of a food product results from the addition of the energy content of each nutrient components. These are defined as follows:
1 g fat 37 kJ: (9 kcal)
1 g carbohydrates: 17 kJ (4 kcal)
1 g protein : 17 kJ (4 kcal)
1 g alcohol (ethanol) 29 kJ (7 kcal)
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol.Leghaemoglobin (also leghemoglobin or legoglobin) is an oxygen carrier and hemoprotein found in the nitrogen-fixing root nodules of leguminous plants. Leghemoglobin buffers the concentration of free oxygen in the cytoplasm of infected plant cells to ensure the proper function of root nodules.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol.Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a type of bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol.when the tree is cut, the layers appear as alternating rings of light and dark wood. Click the cross section of the tree ring above to view the whole ring as it came from the tree. Count the dark rings, and you know the tree’s age
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol.Insulin is a protein chain or peptide hormone. There are 51 amino acids in an insulin molecule. It has a molecular weight of 5808 Da. Insulin is produced in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
