REVISION WORKSHEET ANSWER KEY
SUBJECT: BIOLOGY
1 a) Only (i) and (ii)

2. c) because body distinguishes 'self' and 'non-sell' cells
3. (c) Females are homogametic and males are heterogametic
4. (c) Both mitotic and meiotic division occurs.
5. (a) semiconservative and discontinuous
6. (a) multiple allelism
7. c. Assertion is true but reason is false

8. C. A is true but R is false
9. A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
SECTION-B
10. a)B lymphocytes
b)Humoral immune response
c)H2 means 2 longer peptide chains called heavy chains L2 means 2 small peptide chains
called light chains.
11. Round seeds and larger starch grains are produced by plants homozygously carrying the
BB gene, whereas smaller starch granules are produced by wrinkled seeds (bb).
12. Disease Pneumonia in humans
Bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae are responsible (any 1)
The symptoms of pneumonia include fever, chills, cough and headache. In severe cases, the
lips and fingernails may turn gray to bluish in colour. (any 2)
13.a) Blastocyst implantation
b) Finger like projections appear on trophoblast as chorionic villi which gets interdigited
with uterine tissue to form placenta.
Facilitate exchange of gases/nutrients/endocrine tissue/removal of wastes(any one)
SECTION-C
14. (a) Initiation and mol X is RNA polymerase
(b)RNA polymerase binds to promoter and initiates transcription (Initiation). It uses

nucleoside triphosphates as substrate and polymerises the formation of mRNA/helps in
opening of helix…if denatured above functions will be hampered
(c)No split gene arrangement and no capping and tailing

15.a) Morphine
b)Taken by snorting and injection
c)Heroin is obtained by acetylation of morphine extracted from the latex of poppy plant.
16. Parturition is induced by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism as the signals for
parturition originate from the fully developed foetus and the placenta produce foetal ejection
reflex.
This causes the release of oxytocin from the maternal pituitary which in turn causes stronger
uterine contractions which in turn stimulates further secretion of oxytocin.
The stimulatory reflex between the uterine contraction and oxytocin continues leading to
stronger contraction .
SECTION .D
17.a) During anaphase ! of meiosis
b)Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri proposed chromosomal theory.
c)T.H. Morgan ,he worked on Drosophila melanogaster
18. (a)Gametocytes development in RBC /human host
(b)Release of haemozoin due to bursting of RBC causing chills and fever
(c )No..it takes place in mosquito as gametocytes are sucked through blood and then
fertilisation takes place in gut of mosquito
OR
(c)Plasmodium falciparum and sporozoites
19) The process of formation of megaspores from the megaspore mother cell is called
megasporogenesis. Ovules generally differentiate a single megaspore mother cell (MMC) in
the micropylar region. of the nucellus. It is a large cell containing dense cytoplasm and a
prominent nucleus. The MMC undergoes meiotic division. Meiosis results in the production
of four megaspores
The nucleus of the functional megaspore divides mitotically to form two nuclei which move
to the opposite poles, forming the 2-nucleate embryo sac. Two more sequential mitotic
nuclear divisions result in the formation of the 4-nucleate and later the 8-nucleate stages of
the embryo sac. It is of interest to note that these mitotic divisions are strictly free nuclear,
that is, nuclear divisions are not followed immediately by cell wall formation. After the 8-
nucleate stage, cell walls are laid down leading to the organisation of the typical female
gametophyte or embryo sac. Observe the distribution of cells inside the embryo sac (Figure
2.8b, c). Six of the eight nuclei are surrounded by cell walls and organised into cells; the
remaining two nuclei, called polar nuclei are situated below the egg apparatus in the large
central cell. There is a characteristic distribution of the cells within the embryo sac. Three
cells are grouped together at the micropylar end and constitute the egg apparatus. The egg
apparatus, in turn, consists of two synergids and one egg cell. The synergids have special
cellular thickenings at the micropylar tip called filiform apparatus, which play an important
role in guiding the pollen tubes into the synergid. Three cells are at the chalazal end and are
called the antipodals. The large central cell, as mentioned earlier, has two polar nuclei. Thus,
a typical angiosperm embryo sac, at maturity, though 8-nucleate is 7-celled.
b)
20(a)Expressed Sequence Tags/ Sequence Annotation

(b)Sequence Annotation – This blind approach involved sequencing the whole genome
(coding and non-coding) and later assigning functions to the different regions.
(c )BAC(bacterial artificial chromosome and YAC(yeast artificial
Chromosome
(d)SNPs/for tracing human history and also helps in finding chromosomal locations for
disease associated sequences.
(e)For determination of amino acid sequences in proteins.
