CBSE CIRCULAR 2021-22, , osQUnzh; ekè;fed f'k{kk cksMZ, (f'k{kk ea=kky;] Hkkjr ljdkj osQ v/hu Lok;Ùk laxBu), , Central Board of Secondary Education, (An Autonomous Organisation Under the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India), CBSE/DIR (ACAD)/2021, , Date: July 05, 2021, , All the Heads of Schools affiliated to CBSE, Circular No: A cad-51/2021, Subject : Special Scheme of Assessment for Board Examination Classes X and XII for the Session 2021-22, COVID 19 pandemic caused almost all CBSE schools to function in a virtual mode for most part of the academic session of 202021. Due to the extreme risk associated with the conduct of Board examinations during the second wave in April 2021, CBSE had, to cancel both its class X and XII Board examinations of the year 2021 and results are to be declared on the basis of a credible,, reliable, flexible and valid alternative assessment policy. This, in turn, also necessitated deliberations over alternative ways to, look at the learning objectives as well as the conduct of the Board Examinations for the academic session 2021-22 in case the, situation remains unfeasible., CBSE has also held stake holder consultations with Government schools as well as private independent schools from across the, country especially schools from the remote rural areas and a majority of them have requested for the rationalization of the syllabus,, similar to last year in view of reduced time permitted for organizing online classes. The Board has also considered the concerns, regarding differential availability of electronic gadgets, connectivity and effectiveness of online teaching and other socio-economic, issues specially with respect to students from economically weaker section and those residing in far flung areas of the country., In a survey conducted by CBSE, it was revealed that the rationalized syllabus notified for the session 2020-21 was effective for, schools in covering the syllabus and helped learners in achieving learning objectives in a less stressful manner., In the above backdrop and in line with the Board’s continued focus on assessing stipulated learning outcomes by making the, examinations competencies and core concepts based, student-centric, transparent, technology-driven, and having advance provision, of alternatives for different future scenarios, the following schemes are introduced for the Academic Session for Class X and Class, XII 2021-22., , 2. Special Scheme for 2021-22, A., , B., , C., , Academic session to be divided into 2 Terms with approximately 50% syllabus in each term: The syllabus, for the Academic session 2021-22 will be divided into 2 terms by following a systematic approach by looking into the, interconnectivity of concepts and topics by the Subject Experts and the Board will conduct examinations at the end of, each term on the basis of the bifurcated syllabus. This is done to increase the probability of having a Board conducted, classes X and XII examinations at the end of the academic session., The syllabus for the Board examination 2021-22 will be rationalized similar to that of the last academic session to, be notified in July 2021. For academic transactions, however, schools will follow the curriculum and syllabus released by, the Board vide Circular no. F.1001/CBSEAcad/ Curriculum/2021 dated 31 March 2021. Schools will also use alternative, academic calendar and inputs from the NCERT on transacting the curriculum., Efforts will be made to make Internal Assessment/ Practical/ Project work more credible and valid as per, the guidelines and Moderation Policy to be announced by the Board to ensure fair distribution of marks., , 3. Details of Curriculum Transaction, ●, ●, ●, ●, ●, ●, , Schools will continue teaching in distance mode till the authorities permit inperson mode of teaching in schools., Classes IX-X: Internal Assessment (throughout the year-irrespective of Term I and II) would include the 3 periodic, tests, student enrichment, portfolio and practical work/ speaking listening activities/ project., Classes XI-XII: Internal Assessment (throughout the year-irrespective of Term I and II) would include end of topic or, unit tests/ exploratory activities/ practicals/ projects., Schools would create a student profile for all assessment undertaken over the year and retain the evidences in digital, format., CBSE will facilitate schools to upload marks of Internal Assessment on the CBSE IT platform., Guidelines for Internal Assessment for all subjects will also be released along with the rationalized term wise divided, syllabus for the session 2021-22.The Board would also provide additional resources like sample assessments, question, banks, teacher training etc. for more reliable and valid internal assessments., , 4. Term II Examination/ Year-end Examination, ●, , ●, , At the end of the second term, the Board would organize Term II or Year-end Examination based on the, rationalized syllabus of Term II only (i.e. approximately 50% of the entire syllabus)., This examination would be held around March-April 2022 at the examination centres fixed by the Board., , (iv)

Early Attempts at the Classification of Elements, , Earlier attempts at classification: In 1803, Dalton published a table of relative atomic weights (now called, , atomic masses) which formed the important basis of classification at that time. The earliest attempt to classify, the elements resulted into metals and non‑metals., , Dobereiner’s Law of triads: When elements are arranged in a group of three, such that the atomic mass of, middle element is the average of the mass of first and third element, they were found to resemble each other, e.g., , 21

Hence, this system of triads was not found to, be useful., • Only 3 sets of elements forming the triads was found., , Newlands’ law of octaves: When elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic masses, every, , eighth element resembled with the first, e.g. the properties of Li and Na are found to be similar, Be and Mg, resembles each other., sa (do), , re (re), , ga (mi), , ma (fa), , pa (so), , da (la), , ni (ti), , H, , Li, , Be, , B, , C, , N, , O, , F, , Na, , Mg, , Al, , Si, , P, , S, , Cl, , K, , Ca, , Cr, , Ti, , Mn, , Fe, , Co and Ni, , Cu, , Zn, , Y, , In, , As, , Se, , Br, , Rb, , Sr, , Ce and La, , Zr, , –, , –, , Limitations, • It was found that Newlands’ law of octaves was applicable only upto calcium. It worked well only with lighter, elements., • It was assumed by Newlands that only 56 elements existed in nature. But many elements were discovered, later, whose properties did not fit into the law of octaves., • Newlands adjusted two elements in the same slot, but also put some elements with different properties under, same place, e.g. Co and Ni are in the same slot with H, F, Cl and Br and these do not resemble with H, F,Cl,, Br. Iron resembles with Co and Ni but it is placed far away., , Mendeleev’s Periodic Law: Properties of elements are periodic function of their atomic masses ie. properties, of elements depend upon their atomic masses., , Mendeleev’s Periodic Table: He arranged elements on the basis of atomic masses and similarity in chemical, properties (formulae of oxides and hydrides)., • Mendeleev’s periodic table contains 8 groups and 6 periods., • It was based on increasing order of atomic masses and on the basis of formulae of oxides and hydrides., • Each group has been subdivided into A or B, except Group VIII., • Group VIII consist of three elements in each row, total 9 elements., • Hydrogen was kept in Group 1.

Topic 2. Modern Periodic Table, , Atomic number: It is equal to the number of protons. It is also equal to number of electrons in a neutral atom., Henry Moseley showed that atomic number is a more fundamental property than atomic mass of an element, ie. properties of elements depend upon atomic number, , Modern periodic law: Properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number., Modern periodic table (Features and Advantages), ●, ●, , ●, ●, ●, ●, , ●, , It is based on increasing order of atomic numbers., It could remove the anomalies of atomic masses, i.e. cobalt has higher atomic mass than nickel but has lower, atomic number and hence placed before nickel., Prediction of properties of undiscovered elements was more accurate., The position of elements was related to their electronic configuration., There are 7 periods (horizontal rows) and 18 groups (vertical columns)., Each period has elements equal to the maximum number of electrons in the shell corresponding to the, period, e.g. 1st period has 2 elements because 1st shell has 2 electrons, 2nd period has 8 elements because, 2nd shell has 8 electrons. 3rd period has 8 elements although 3rd shell can have 18 electrons (maximum),, but if it is the last shell, it cannot have more than 8 electrons. 4th and 5th period have 18 elements each,, although they could accommodate 32 electron. This is because if 4th and 5th shell are the outermost shell, and electrons are filled in the increasing order of energy they could accomodate a maximum of 18 electrons., 6th and 7th period have 32 elements, each., Each group has elements with same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties but each, period have elements with different number of valence electrons and chemical properties., , The electronic configuration of some main group elements are given below:, Group 1, , Group 18, , H (1), , Group 2, , Group 13, , Group 14, , Group 15, , Group 16, , Group 17, , 1, Li (3), , He(2), , Be (4), , 2, 1, Na(11), , 2, 2, Mg(12), , B(5), 2, 3, , C(6), 2, 4, , N(7), 2, 5, , O(8), 2, 6, , F(9), 2, 7, , 2, 8, 1, K(19), , 2, 8, 2, Ca(20), , Transition, elements, , Al(13), 2, 8, 3, , Si(14), 2, 8, 4, , P(15), 2, 8, 5, , S(16), 2, 8, 6, , Cl(17), 2, 8, 7, , 2, 8, Ar(18), 2, 8, 8, , Group 3 to 12, , Ga(31), , Ge(32), , As(33), , Se(34), , 2, 8, 8, 1, , 2, 8, 8, 2, , 2,8,18,3, , 2,8,18,4, , 2,8,18,5, , 2,8,18,6, , Br(35), 2,8,18,7, , Kr(36), 2,8,18,8, , 2, Ne(10), , Exercise 2.2, I.

Topic 3. Trends in the Modern Periodic Table, , Valency: Valency increases from left to right till the middle and then decreases in the modern periodic table., Valency remains the same in a group, because valence electrons remains the same., Atomic size: It goes on increasing down the group, because number of shells goes on increasing and effective, nuclear charge decreases., It decreases from left to right in a period due to increase in effective nuclear charge, because one proton and, 1 electron is being added successively, number of shells remains the same, forces of attraction between the, nucleus and valence electrons increases., Metallic and Non-metallic properties: On the right hand side of periodic table, there are non-metals. Metals, are on the left and middle region of periodic table. Metalloids are placed on the borderline of metals and nonmetals, aligned in a zig-zag manner, e.g. B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te and Po are metalloids., Tendency to lose electrons: Tendency to lose electrons decreases along a period, because atomic size decreases, and effective nuclear charge increases. Tendency to lose electrons increases down the group, because atomic, size increases and effective nuclear charge decreases. Metallic character decreases along the period, e.g. Na >, Mg > Al. Metallic character increases down the group, e.g. K > Na > Li., Tendency to gain electrons: Tendency to gain electrons increases along a period, ... effective nuclear charge, increases. So as electronegativity increases, non-metallic character increases, e.g. F > O > N > C. Tendency to, gain electrons decreases down the group, ... effective nuclear charge decreases. Therefore, electronegativity, decreases, non-metallic character decreases, e.g. F > Cl > Br > I., Reactivity of metals: It increases down the group, because tendency to lose electrons increases, e.g. Li < Na < K., It decreases along a period due to increase in effective nuclear charge, tendency to lose electrons decreases,, e.g. Al < Mg < Na., Reactivity of Non-metals: It decreases down the group, ... tendency to gain electrons decreases due to increase, in atomic size, e.g. F > Cl > Br > I. Reactivity of non-metals increases along a period due to decrease in atomic, size and increase in tendency to gain electrons, e.g. N < O < F., Basic nature of oxides: It decreases along a period, but increases down the group., Acidic nature of oxides: It decreases down the group, but increases along a period., Stability of noble gases: The atoms of Group 18 elements have a very stable arrangement of electrons in, their outermost valence shell. This makes them unreactive., Cations and anions: Metals lose electrons to form +ve ions (cations), non-metals gain electrons to form –ve, , ions (anions)., • Cations are smaller than neutral atoms due to more effective nuclear charge., • Anions are bigger than neutral atoms due to less effective nuclear charge., • Group 1 and Group 2 elements form ionic compounds with Group 16 and Group 17 elements., • Group 14 elements mostly form covalent compounds., • Metals are mostly solids, except mercury which is a liquid. Non-metals exist as solids, liquids and in gaseous, state, e.g. F2, Cl2, H2, N2, O2 are gases; Br2 is liquid; C, S, P, I2 are solids., • Group 18 elements all are gases. Group 17 and 18 elements are all non-metals. Group 1 and Group 2 elements, are all metals., • Metallic character increases down the group due to increase in tendency to lose electrons., • Metallic character decreases along a period from left to right because tendency to lose electrons decreases., • Non-metallic character decreases down the group as tendency to gain electrons decreases. It increases along, a period due to increase in tendency to gain electrons., , Exercise 2.3, I. Multiple Choice Questions, Choose the correct answer from the given options., 1.

Across the period i.e., from left to right: Metallic character decreases., Down the group i.e., from top to bottom: Metallic character increases., , Reason: Across the period, the effective nuclear charge increases, thus decreasing its atomic radius., This favours the increase of electronegativity and therefore the tendency to lose electrons is less. This, accounts for the decrease in the metallic character along the period., But as we move down the group the number of shells keep on increasing and therefore the atomic size, increases. This means that the electronegativity decreases. This enhances the ability to lose electrons, and therefore the metallic character increases down the group., 16. Given are the three elements Na, Mg and Al belonging to group 1 , 2 and 13 respectively., The electronic configurations of the three elements are as follows:, Element Name, , Symbol, , Atomic Number, , Electronic Configuration, , Sodium, , Na, , 11, , 2, 8, 1, , Magnesium, , Mg, , 12, , 2, 8, 2, , Aluminium, , Al, , 13, , 2, 8, 3, , (a) The element having the highest valency signifies the maximum number of electrons present in the, valence shell of an atom. Hence, as per the given electronic configurations, the element having highest, valency is aluminium (Al)., (b) As we move across the period, i.e., from left to right the atomic radius decreases. Therefore the, element having the largest atomic radius will be sodium (Na)., (c) The given three elements are metals. So, the chemical reactivity of a metal is determined by its metallic, character which is the tendency of an atom to lose its electrons. We know that the metallic character, of element decreases across the period, i.e., from left to right. So, the element having highest chemical, reactivity is sodium (Na)., 17. Electronic configuration of X: 2,8,2, Y: 2,8,6, Both X and Y belong to 3rd period because they have 3 shells., Ionic bond will be formed., , Reason: X will lose 2 electrons and Y will gain 2 electrons to complete their octet and become stable., , , , ⋅⋅ , ⋅⋅ : , , Formula is ( X 2 + )  : Y, , , , 2−, , 18. In the Modern Periodic Table, there are 18 vertical columns known as Groups and 7 horizontal rows, known as Periods., As we move down the group, the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the outer-most, electron decreases due to increase in the distance between them. This happens because, on moving, down the group, a new shell is added. So the valence electrons can be easily lost by the element. As we, know, metallic character is characterised by the ease of loss of electrons, thereby, metallic character, increases on moving down the group in the Modern Periodic Table., When we move across a period, the number of electrons in the same shell increases. This leads to, greater electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the outer-most electron. This increased, attraction pulls the outer-most electron closer to the nucleus, thereby decreasing the atomic size., 19. X – 2, 8, 6, (a) Since ‘X’ has three energy shells and period number of an element is equal to the number of energy, shells. So, X belongs to 3rd period., (b) X has 6 valence electrons so, it belongs to group 16., (c) Valency will be 2. To acquire noble gas configuration it will gain 2 electrons., 20.

Around the year 1800, only 30 elements were known. Dobereiner in 1817 and Newlands in 1866 tried, to arrange the then known elements and framed laws which were rejected by the scientists. Even after, the rejection of the proposed laws, many scientists continued to search for a pattern that correlated the, properties of elements with their atomic masses., The main credit for classifying elements goes to Mendeleev for his most important contribution to the, early development of a Periodic table of elements wherein he arranged the elements on the basis of their, , 46, , Science-10

He could, not classify all the elements discovered at that time., • Newlands arranged elements in the increasing order of their atomic masses. He found that every 8th element, resembles with the first like the notes in music, every 8th note is same as the first. He could not classify all, the elements., • Mendeleev classified all the 63 elements discovered till 1869 in the Mendeleev’s periodic table based on, increasing order of their atomic masses and formulae of their hydrides and oxides., • Mendeleev kept on modifying his periodic table till isotopes were discovered. After the discovery of isotopes,, the basis of his periodic table was rejected., • Modern periodic law was the basis of modern periodic table in which elements were arranged in increasing, order of their atomic number., , 48, , Science-10

• Modern periodic table (long form of periodic table) could overcome most of the shortcomings of Mendeleev’s, periodic table., • The horizontal rows of periodic table are called periods. There are 7 periods in modern periodic table., • The vertical columns of periodic table are called groups. There are 18 groups in the long form of periodic table., • The elements show periodicity, i.e. repetition of similar properties after a definite interval., • The similar elements are arranged in a group., • A heavy zig-zag line separates metals from non-metals, with non-metals to the right (except for hydrogen), and metals on the left and middle of the periodic table., • Metalloids which resemble metals as well as non-metals are on the border line of metals and non-metals and, arranged in a zig-zag manner., • There are 118 elements discovered so far, which are classified into 18 groups and 7 periods., • First period has 2, second and third period have 8, fourth and fifth period have 18, sixth and 7th period have, 32 elements., • Group 1 elements are called alkali metals, Group 2 elements are called alkaline earth metals, Group 13-Boron, family, Group 14-Carbon family, Group 15-Nitrogen family, Group 16-Oxygen family, Group 17-Halogens, and Group 18 elements are called Noble gases., • Group 3 to Group 12 elements are called transition metals., • Elements with atomic numbers from 58 to 71 are called lanthanoids. It is kept at the bottom of the periodic, table in a separate row., • Elements with atomic numbers from 90 to 103 are called actinoids, kept in the last row in the periodic table,, below lanthanoids., • Atomic size goes on increasing down the group whereas it goes on decreasing along the period from left to right., • Properties of elements depend upon the number of valence electrons., • In a group, all the elements have the same number of valence electrons, i.e. same valency., • Valency is equal to the number of valence electrons or 8-number of valence electrons., • Valency is number of electrons lost or gained or shared by atoms of elements, so as to become stable like, noble gases., • Valency in a period first increases till middle, then decreases., • Tendency to lose electrons increases down the group., • Tendency to lose electrons decreases along a period, from left to right., • Tendency to gain electrons decreases down the group., • Tendency to gain electrons increases along a period, from left to right., • Metallic character increases down the group., • Metallic character decreases along a period, from left to right., • Non-metallic character increases along a period, from left to right., • Non-metallic character decreases down the group., • Group 18 elements have a very stable electronic configuration in their outermost shell. Their valency is zero, because they do not have any tendency to lose/gain or share electrons. This makes them unreactive., • Elements of 1st period have electrons in first shell only, 2nd period has 2 shells (orbits), 3rd period has 3, shells (K, L, M), 4th period has 4 shells (K, L, M, N) and so on., • Over 80% of the elements are metals and remaining are non-metals., • Metals and non-metals differ in their properties., • Hydrogen is a non-metal but kept in Group 1 because it can form H+ ion like alkali metals (Group 1 elements)., • The elements after Uranium (92) are man-made or synthetic elements. Tc(43), Pm(61), At(85) and Fr(87), are also man-made elements., • Across a period, there is a change from metallic to non-metallic character, e.g. in 3rd period, Na, Mg, Al are, metals, Si is metalloid, while P, S, Cl, Ar are non-metals., • Group 1 metals are the most reactive, because they can lose electrons easily to form positive ions., • Group 17 elements (non-metals) are also considered most reactive, because they can gain an electron easily, to become stable and form negative ions., • Metals are good reducing agents, because they can lose electrons., , Periodic Classification of Elements 49

(b) It takes place during cell division., 2. (a) Errors in copying DNA., 3. (b) It is to increases its number so that it does not became extinct., II. 1. (b) Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true but ‘R’ is not correct explanation of the assertion., 2. (b) Both ‘A’ and ‘R’ are true but ‘R’ is not correct explanation of the assertion., III. 1. Reproduction, 2. DNA is found in the nucleus., 3. DNA means deoxyribo nucleic acid. It lies in the cell nucleus, which is the source of information for, making proteins and different proteins lead to different body designs., 4. DNA in the nucleus of a cell is the source of information for making proteins. The two basic events in, reproduction are:, (i) creation of copy of DNA, (ii) creation of an additional cellular apparatus by cell then the DNA copies separate, each with its own, cellular apparatus., 5. DNA copying will lead to variation in populations which helps in evolution of the species., , How do Organism Reproduce? 55

6. The mode of reproduction depends upon the body design of organism. Those with simple body design, may reproduce asexually. Those with complex body design may form gametes and may undergo sexual, reproduction., 7. Errors in DNA copying., 8. The cell uses biochemical reactions to make exact copies of DNA or genetic material., IV. 1. Reproduction involves producing same kind of species from parents. The genetic information is passed, to the offspring by DNA present in each cell. This DNA, which is replicated (copied) is responsible for, the resemblance of parents with offsprings with same traits. New traits are passed on due to difference, in copying, new variations may occur and new species may evolve., 2. If environmental conditions undergo drastic change, some member of a species having variations of, tolerating changed temperature may be able to survive, e.g. suppose population of bacteria is living in, temperate water. If temperature of water increases due to global warming, most of the bacteria will, die. However, if few variants are resistant to heat, then they would survive and grow further. Thus, variation is useful for the survival of species over time, but it is not necessary for the individual., 3. It is because reproduction is a process by which species increase their population. If the rate of birth, is more than death, the size of population will increase and will be more stable., 4. (a) (i) DNA is found in nucleus of cell, (ii) Genes are located on the chromosomes., (b) Deoxyribonucleic acid., 5. During the process of reproduction, transmission of DNA from parents to offspring takes place. Before, reproduction, DNA is replicated, which means two copies of DNA are produced. When the cell divides, into two, these two copies are distributed equally between the two daughter cells so that similar amount, and type of DNA is transferred from the parent cell to the daughter cells. It maintains the consistency, in the amount and type of DNA in the living organism of a particular species., V. 1. Reproduction is an energy consuming process which is not essential for the survival of an individual., But it is the most important characteristic of all living beings, because of the following reasons:, (i) Reproduction helps in increasing the number of members of a population., (ii) By replacing the dead members with the new ones, it minimises the risk of extinction of a species. , (iii) It brings about variations in species, thus leading to their evolution., VI. 1. (b) (i) Deoxy Ribonucleic Acid, (ii) It helps in synthesis of protein and transfer of genetic characteristics., (iii) Proteins will be changed., (b) Body designs are similar due to DNA copying., DNA cell nucleus carry information for synthesis of protein., , If DNA copying will not take place then body design will change., , Topic 2. Modes of Reproduction by Single Organism, , Asexual reproduction: It is the process in which new organism is formed by single parent without involving, sex cells or gametes., • It is simple and fast., • Cell division is amitotic or mitotic., • The new organisms are identical to parents., , Fission: Cell division or fission leads to creation of new individual in unicellular organisms; e.g. Amoeba,, protozoa, bacteria., Binary fission: When a cell splits into two equal halves during cell division, e.g. Amoeba,Bacteria and Protozoa-Paramecium undergo binary fission. This fission or cell division can take place in any plane in Amoeba., In some organisms like Leishmania (which cause kala-azar), binary fission occurs in a definite orientation to, their structure., , 56, , Science-10

All cells of body are alike and they all divide, to make new individual., , Regeneration: It is a process in which organisms have the ability to regenerate give rise, to new individual organisms from their body parts. It takes place in fully differentiated, Multiple fission in, Plasmodium, organisms, e.g. Hydra, Planaria. Their cells divide, increase in number and form missing, parts in the body of an individual. Many organisms can regenerate their body parts like house lizard can, regenerate its lost tail. But it is not a way of reproduction in this case., , Budding: A small outgrowth ‘bud’ forms on the body of an organism. It grows in size and develops into a new, individual. It may get detached and lead independent existence like in case of Hydra. In this process, organisms, use regenerative cells for reproduction, e.g. Hydra.

E.g., - potato, mint, etc., • Artificial vegetative propagation: The new plant is formed by using techniques like cutting a short piece, of plant and placed in moist soil, layering i.e., branch of plant is buried in soil or grafting i.e., joining a part, of one plant on a different plant., , Advantages:, , • Plants, which do not produce viable seeds or have lost the ability to produce seeds, can be propagated by this, method only., • Plants raised by this method bear flowers and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds., • It maintains the genetic traits in all generations as only one parent is involved, hence conserves characteristics, of specific varieties of plants., , Example: Bryophyllum propagates through a leaf, mint propagates through root, rose propagates through, stem. The commonly used methods are:, • Cutting: e.g. Rose and China rose, • Layering: e.g. Jasmine, • Grafting: e.g. Rose, , How do Organism Reproduce? 57

Tissue culture: In this process, new plants are grown by removing tissues or separating cells from the growing, tip of the plant, which is placed in an artificial medium. When they divide rapidly to form small group of cells,, it is transferred to another medium containing hormones for growth and differentiation. The small plants, (plantlets) are then placed in soil to grow., , Multiple fission in, Plasmodium, , Spore formation: Some thread-like structures that develop on the bread, , piece placed in a moist dark place for few days. They are ‘hyphae’ of common, bread mould. Some hyphae grow upright, develop a cheb like structure at, its tip–sporangium. The sporangium contain ‘spores’ which are released in, air on bursting of a mature sporangium. Spores of Rhizopus present in air, settle on the bread to form new fungus. The spores are covered by thick walls, that protect them from dryness until they come into contact with another, moist surface and begin to grow., , I.

Specialised cells called regenerative cells which can make large number of new cells., 11. Regeneration is carried out by specialised cells which are present in few animals which can reproduce, by regeneration., 12. Spore with a cell wall can survive even in adverse conditions. Large number of spores are produced in, one sporangium. It is easily dispersed through wind as they are large in number and light in weight., 13. Under favourable conditions, spirogyra reproduces by a process known as fragmentation. This is an, asexual method of reproduction. , 14. Planaria reproduces by a process known as regeneration. It is a type of asexual reproduction in which, if Planaria can be cut into any number of pieces, each piece grows into a new individual organism., 15. Plasmodium is a single celled organism which reproduces by the process of multiple fission. Multiple, fission (i.e. breaking up of a single cell into many daughter cells) is an asexual mode of reproduction., IV. 1. Cell division in a unicellular organism results in the formation of two or more daughter cells which, means it produces more individual., 2. Clones are organisms which are exact genetics copies of their parents. Their DNA is exactly identical, to their parents, which is the cause of remarkable similarity., 3. Those organisms which reproduce by regeneration have similar and non-differentiated cells throughout, the body, therefore body parts of organism grows into new organism., In multicellular complex organisms, the cells get differentiated and perform different functions. In, such organisms, body parts like skin, muscles, i.e. tissues can be regenerated, but the whole organism, cannot be reproduced by regeneration., 4. (i) Vegetative propagation is used to grow plants in which seeds are not formed or very few seeds are, formed, e.g. banana, pineapple, orange., (ii) It helps to grow plants in conditions where seed germination fails due to change in environment., (iii) It is a faster, easier and cheaper process., (iv) The plants produced are genetically similar and good quality or variety can be preserved easily., 5.

Sequence (showing the four stages), the process of binary fission in Amoeba., (Refer to ans. 9 for diagram), V. 1. The process in which parent cell divides into several small and equal sized daughter cells, which grows, into a new organism is called multiple fission., The nucleus of a cell divides into large number of nuclei and cytoplasm separates, forming a membrane, around it. All this occurs within a protective covering. Plasmodium exhibits multiple fission., 2. Regeneration is the ability to produce an organism from their body parts. Many fully differentiated, organisms show ability to reproduce by regeneration. In hydra, if the body is cut into two or three, pieces, the lower part will develop head while the upper part will develop rest of the body. If its cells, are separated, hydra will reform its structure by regeneration., 3., , Fission, , Fragmentation, , It takes place in unicellular organisms., , It takes place in multicellular organisms., , The cell splits into two or more cells, giving rise, to daughter cells, e.g. amoeba, paramecium., , The body of the organism simply breaks into, smaller pieces, which upon maturation grow into, new individual, e.g. spirogyra., , (i) Each piece will regenerate into complete organism. Cells at the location of the site of cut or wound,, forms a small ball of cells that will differentiate into new tissues and regenerate the missing parts, of the cut piece of the planaria., (ii) When spirogyra attains considerable length, it breaks into smaller fragments and each fragment, grows into a new plant., (iii) On maturation, sporangial wall breaks and spores are dispersed to grow into new individual. These, spores are very light and easily dispersed by wind., 5. A bud is an outgrowth from the body part of parent due to repeated cell division at a specific site. These, buds develop into new individuals, which detach from the parent body on maturation., In hydra, the cells divide very fast at a specific site as an outgrowth called bud. These bud develops, into a small individual, while remaining attached to the parent. When it matures, it detaches from the, parent body to exist as an independent organism., 4., , Budding in Hydra, , 6. (a) When Planaria gets cut into many pieces, it will undergo a process known as regeneration due to, which each piece will grow into a new planaria organism., (b) When bryophyllum leaf falls on the wet soil, the buds that are produced in the notches along the, leaf will develop into new plants by the process known as vegetative propagation., , 62, , Science-10

7., , , , , , 8., , (c) When the sporangia of Rhizopus bursts upon maturation, the spores present inside it spread in the, open environment. Then, with the help of different agents, they are carried to different places and, when they land on a favourable surface, they start growing and produce new organism., Vegetative propagation is a mode of asexual reproduction in which new plants are obtained from, vegetative parts of the plants. It does not involve the production of seeds or spores for the propagation, of new plants., Two advantages of vegetative propagation are:, (i) Plants which do not produce seeds are propagated by this method, for example sugarcane, potato,, etc., (ii) Vegetative propagation is a cheaper, easier, rapid method of propagation in plants than growing, plants from their seeds. For example, lilies grow very slowly and take 4 to 7 years to develop, flowers when grown through their seeds, but flowers are produced only after a year or two when, grown vegetatively., Two disadvantages of vegetative propagation are:, (i) As there is no genetic variation, there is no chance of development of new and better varieties., (ii) The vegetatively propagated plants are more prone to diseases that are specific to the species. This, can result in the destruction of an entire crop., Pollination: The process in which pollen is transferred from stamen to the stigma is called pollination., Self pollination, , Cross pollination, , If the transfer of pollen occurs in the same If the transfer of pollen occurs from one flower to, flower, it is called self pollination., another, it is called cross pollination., , Significance: After the pollen lands on suitable stigma, it needs to reach the female germ cells in the, ovary where fertilisation takes place, zygot is formed. Zygot divides several times to form embryo with, in ovule which develops a tough coat around it called seed coat and seed is formed. The ovary grows, rapidly and ripens to form fruit., Binary fission, , 9.

Budding: In this process hydra (or any other organism like yeast) use regenerative cells for, reproduction. A bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division which develop into new, individuals., (a) Stem—Potato, Onion, Ginger, (b) Roots—Banana, Asparagus, (c) Leaves—Bryophyllum, 5. (i), , (ii) Multicellular organisms cannot reproduce by cell because they are not simple random collection of, cells., They have specialised cells, organised as tissues which are organised into organs., Cell-by-cell division would be impractical (not practical)., Multicellular organisms require to use more complex ways of reproduction., , Topic 3. Sexual Reproduction, Sexual Reproduction: It involves two individuals, male and female to generate a new organism. It is necessary, , because in a sexual reproduction usually DNA is copied., • The DNA copying mechanism cannot be absolute accurate, the errors are source of variations in population, of organism which are useful., • Sexual reproduction mode allows more and more variations to be generated., • If the DNA copying mechanism is less accurate, many resultant DNA copies will not be able to work with, the cellular apparatus and cell would die., • Combining variations from two or more individuals would create new combination of variants. Each, combination will be new and unique., , Difficulty: If each new generation is to be the combination of the DNA copies of existing individual, then new, generation will have twice the amount of DNA than previous generation. This is likely to mess up the control, of the cellular apparatus by DNA., Solution: Special lineages of cells in specialised organs which have only half the number, , of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA as compared to the non-reproductive body, cells. When these germ cells from two individuals combine during sexual reproduction to, form new individual, it results in formation of same number of chromosomes and the DNA, content in new generation., Chromosomes: These are the linear sequence of genes composed of nucleic acids and, proteins, carrying hereditary information. There are 46 chromosomes in the human body,, i.e. 23 pairs., Male gamete: It is a germ cell which is smaller and likely to be motile. These are produced, in the bodies of male organism., , Chromosome, , Female gamete: It is the germ cell which is large and contains food storage. These are produced in the body, of female organism., , 64, , Science-10

Sexual reproduction in flowering plant, • The reproductive parts of angiosperms are located in, the flower., • Different parts of flower are sepals, petals, stamen and, carpel., • Stamen and carpels are the reproductive parts of flower, which contain germ cells., , Unisexual flower: The flower which contains either, , Parts of flower, , stamen or carpels, e.g. papaya, watermelon., , Bisexual flower: The flower which contains both stamen and carpels, e.g. hibiscus, mustard., Sepal: It is the green leaf like structures which form the outermost layer of a flower. It protects the bud., Petals: It is the part of flower that are found inner to sepal and collectively called corolla. Insect pollinated, flowers which are brightly coloured and often scented (have nice fragrance), like rose., Stamen: It is the male reproductive organ of a plant. It consists of anther and filament. They are yellowish in, colour, which sticks to our hand if we touch the stamen of a flower., Anther: It is the part of male organ of the flower (stamen) that produces, and contains pollens., Carpel: It is the female reproductive organ of flowering plants present in, the centre of the flower. It consists of ovary, containing one or more ovules, and stigma, a receptive surface for pollen grains. Stigma is present at the, apex of the stalk and the style. It is made up of three parts— ovary, style, and stigma., Ovules: Grain like structure growing inside the ovary. Contain female, gamete or egg. They become seeds after fertilisation., Ovary: The swollen bottom part of the carpel in a flower. It contains ovules, and each ovule has an egg cell., Reproductive System in Plants, Style: It is the middle, elongated part of carpel in a flower., Stigma: The terminal part of carpel, which may be sticky is called stigma., Self Pollination: If the transfer of pollen grains is from the stamen to stigma of the same flower, it is called, self pollination., Cross-pollination: If the pollen is transferred from one flower to another, it is called cross pollination. This, transfer of pollen from one flower to another is achieved by agents like wind, water or animals (insects)., ,    , , Cross-pollination, , Growth of pollen tube and Fertilisation: When the pollen of same species lands on suitable stigma it has to, , reach the female germ cell, which are present in ovary. For this, a tube grows out of pollen grains and travels, through the style to ovary due to chemotropism. Pollen tube releases male gamete inside ovule. The male, gamete and the female gamete fuse inside ovule and make a zygote., , Zygote: It is formed by fusion of male germ cell produced by pollen grains with female gamete present in ovule., , This fusion of the germ cells is called fertilisation which gives zygote, capable of growing into a new plant., , Embryo: The zygote divides several times to form an embryo with the ovule after fertilisation., Plumule (future shoot): The part of plant embryo that develops into shoot system. It contains stem apex, and first leaf., , How do Organism Reproduce? 65

Some invertebrates like earthworms,, leech, star-fish, hydra are bisexual or hermaphrodite., In humans, sex organs or primary sexual characteristics are those by which a young one is born and can, be distinguished from secondary sex characteristics, which develop later in life, usually during puberty., The development of both is controlled by sex hormones produced by the body hormones that express sexual, differentiation in humans include:, • oestrogens • progesterone • androgens such as testosterone, Pubic hair, underarm hair appear in both males and females but females have larger breasts, menstrual cycle,, development of wider hips. On the other hand males develop facial and body hair, development of wider chest, and broad shoulders, etc., , Reproduction in Human Beings, Puberty: The period during adolescence in which lot of bodily changes take place in males as well as in females., , The rate of general body growth begins to slow down, reproductive tissues begin to mature. Many changes, during puberty, such as new hair growth patterns are signals that sexual maturation is taking place., Gonad: An organ of our body in which gametes are produced, e.g. ovary in female or testis in a male., Gametes: A sexual reproduction cell containing a set of dissimilar chromosomes and dissimilar chromosomes, and assisting in fertilisation., Male reproductive system: It consists of parts which, produce the germ-cells and transfer them to the reproductive, passage for fertilisation. Some parts produce nourishing, liquid for sperms., 1. Testis: These are located outside the abdominal cavity, in scrotum, because sperm formation requires 1-3°C lower, temperature than normal body temperature. It secretes, testosterone which brings changes in boys at the time of, puberty. It is also responsible for male fertility., 2. Vas deferens: One of the pair of ducts carrying sperms, from testis to the urethra., 3. Seminal vesicle: It is one of the pair of glands in, males that secretes a liquid component of semen into vas, deferens. This secretion is alkaline, which neutralises acidic, conditions in female genital tract and contains fructose,, used by sperms as a source of energy., 4. Prostate gland: A gland in male mammals that surrounds and opens into the urethra, where it leaves the, bladder. During ejaculation it secretes slightly alkaline fluids into semen that activate the sperms and prevents, them from sticking together., , 66, , Science-10

Page 66 :
Semen: A slightly alkaline fluid (pH-7.2 to 7.6) containing sperms and various secretions of prostate and seminal, vesicle produced during copulation and introduced in the body of female by ejaculation., Sperms: These are male germ cells that consist of mainly genetic material and a long tail that helps them to move, towards the female germ cell., 5. Penis: The male reproductive organ of mammals (and also of some birds and reptiles), used to introduce, sperms into the female reproductive tract to ensure internal fertilisation. It contains a duct (urethra) through, which sperms can pass. The penis becomes erect during precopulatory activity by filling with blood or by action, of muscles and can be inserted into the vagina., 6. Urethra: It becomes common passage for urine and sperms., , Female Reproductive System, Ovaries: The female germ cells are made in ovaries. They are also, , responsible for the production of some hormones. When a girl is born,, the ovaries already contain thousands of immature eggs., Fallopian tube (oviduct): The egg starts maturing at puberty. The, egg is carried from the ovary to the womb through a thin oviduct or, fallopian tube. Fertilisation also takes place in fallopian tube in case, live sperms are present in it when egg reaches here., Uterus: The two oviducts unite into a elastic bag like structure known, as uterus. Uterus opens into vagina through the cervix., The uterus prepares itself every month to receive and nurture the, growing embryo. The lining thickens and is richly supplied with blood, to nourish the growing embryo., Female Reproductive System, Vagina: The tube leading from the uterus to the outside. Sperms are, deposited in the vagina during copulation and fully developed foetus is born through it (birth canal)., Fertilisation: The sperms enter through the vaginal passage during sexual intercourse. They travel upwards, and reach the oviduct, where they encounter the egg and may get fertilised., If the egg is fertilised, a child may be conceived., Zygote: The fertilised egg is called zygote, which starts dividing and gets implanted in the lining of uterus., The mother’s body is designed to undertake the development of the child., Embryo: A development stage which is nurtured in uterus. In mammals it is called foetus., Placenta: It is a disc like tissue which is embedded in the uterine wall. It contains villi on the embryo’s side of, the tissue. The embryo gets nutrition from mother’s blood with the help of this special tissue called placenta., On the mother’s side are blood spaces, which surround the villi. This provides a large surface area for glucose, and oxygen to pass from mother to the embryo., The developing embryo will also generate waste substances which can be removed by transferring them into, the mother’s blood through the placenta., Gestation period or Pregnancy: The development of child inside the mother’s body takes approximately, nine months. The child is born as a result of rhythmic contraction of the muscles in the uterus (labour)., Epidymis, Ductus vas, deferens, , Uterine, tube, , Ovary, , Testis, , Gonad,   , Umbilical cord: The connection between the foetus and placenta. It is usually cut through at the time of, child’s birth., Gamete, , What Happens When the Egg is Not Fertilised?, • If the egg is not fertilised, it lives for one to few days., • The ovary releases one egg every month, the uterus also prepares itself every month to receive a fertilised, egg., , How do Organism Reproduce? 67

Page 67 :
• The lining of uterus becomes thick and spongy so as to nourish the embryo, if fertilisation has taken place., • If the egg is not fertilised, the lining of uterus slowly breaks and comes out through the vagina as blood, and mucous. (Menses or menstrual flow), Menstruation: The release of blood and mucous occurs every month (28 days). It usually lasts for about 2 to, 8 days. Girls should use good sanitary napkin during this period and maintain proper hygiene. It starts from, puberty as ‘menarche’. Its beginning marks the fertile life of a female., The menstrual cycle is the series of changes a woman’s body goes through to prepare itself for a pregnancy., About once a month, the uterus grows a new lining (endometrium) to get ready for a fertilised egg. When there, is no fertilised egg to start a pregnancy, the uterus sheds its lining. This is the monthly menstrual bleeding, (also called menstrual period) that women have from their early teen age until menopause, age around 50 years., The menstrual cycle starts from day 1 of bleeding to day 1 of the next cycle of bleeding. Although the average, cycle is 28 days, it is normal to have a cycle that is shorter or longer., Girls usually start having menstrual periods between the age of 11 to 14 years., The hormones oestrogen and progesterone play the biggest roles in how the uterus changes during each cycle., • Oestrogen builds up the lining of the uterus., • Progesterone increases after an ovary releases an egg (ovulation) at the middle of the cycle. This helps the, oestrogen keep the lining thick and ready for a fertilised egg. A drop in progesterone (along with oestrogen), causes the lining to break down. This is when menstrual period starts., , Reproductive health, , • We must consider the possible health consequences of having sex before marriage or at early age. Our body, and mind may not be ready for the birth of a child and to take responsibility of the child., • STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases): Since the sexual act is very intimate connection between, the bodies, it is possible that many diseases can be sexually transmitted, like bacterial infection such as, gonorrhoea and syphlis and viral infections such as warts and HIV-AIDS., • We can protect ourselves from these diseases and unwanted pregnancy by using a latex covering called, condom for the penis during sex, it also helps to prevent transmission of many of these infections to some, extent. If condom gets torn during sexual act then danger of unwanted pregnancy and infection will exist., These days, emergency pill is being used by females to prevent unwanted pregnancy in case of unprotected, sex within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, but it should not be taken regularly or frequently or without, consulting the doctor because chances of infections are still being there., • Pregnancy demands a lot from the body, mind and health of would be parents and it has a big responsibility., Contraceptive methods: The methods to prevent pregnancy are called contraceptive methods. They are also, used by married couples to avoid early pregnancy or to create a gap between two children., (i) Condoms: They are used as a covering on the penis by males. Females can also use a similar covering worn, in the vagina, which can serve the same purpose., (ii) Oral pills: These pills change the hormonal balance of the body so that egg is not released and fertilisation, cannot occur. These can also cause side effects, and should not be taken without consulting doctor., (iii) Intra Uterine Contraceptive devices (IUCD) : For example, loop or Copper-T is placed in the uterus by, doctors to prevent pregnancy. It may also cause side effects due to irritation in uterus., Surgical Methods: Surgical methods can be used to block vas deferens in males. These methods are safe, but, sometimes may cause infections if not performed properly. This process is called vasectomy. In females, small, portion of oviducts is removed surgically and the cut ends are ligated or tied. It prevents the ovum (or eggs), from entering into oviducts. It is called tubectomy., , Abortion, , • Surgery can be used for the medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) before first 3 months are over. Some, people may misuse this method for female foeticide., • Pre-natal sex determination is illegal in India., • Abortion after 20-24 weeks or around six months after pregnancy is risky and not allowed legally., • Sex ratio is abnormal in many states of India due to female foeticide, which needs to be prevented., • The size of human population is a cause of great concern, therefore population needs to be controlled and, also standard of living of poor people must be improved., Infertility problems: If vas deferens in males is blocked, sperm transfer may not take place. It can be treated, surgically, but sperm count can be less or quality and mobility of sperms may not be proper. Females fallopian, tubes may also get blocked which can be opened by surgery. These are natural problems which can be treated, easily by doctors., , 68, , Science-10

(i) Two parents are involved, (ii) Two dissimilar gametes are formed, (iii) Variations are produced, (iv) Occurs in higher and some of lower organisms, (v) Fertilisation is needed for zygote formation, (vi) It is a slow process., , 14. (a) (i) Ovary: It produces ova and female sex hormones., (ii) Fallopian tube: It is the site of fertilisation and transfer of female gamete from the ovary., (iii) Uterus: Implantation of zygote and it keeps foetus till complete development., (b) (i) Scrotum: It protects testes., (ii) Testes: It produces sperms., (iii) Vas deferens: It delivers sperms from testes to urethra., 15. Pollination must occur before fertilisation as it has to reach the male gametes present in pollen grain, which will germinate to form a pollen tube and carry the male gametes to the ovum. Pollination, is different from fertilisation because here the pollen grain with its male gametes just reaches the, stigma, whereas fertilisation of male gamete to ovum results in formation of diploid zygote which is, the foundation of new generation., , 16. (i) Ovary ripens and developed into fruit., (ii) Ovules develop into seed., , How do Organism Reproduce? 75

(iii) Petals and sepals wither and drop., (iv) Stigma, style and stamens dry up and fall off., 17. Sperms travel upwards through uterus to oviduct where they may meet an ovum and, hence fertilise it. Fertilisation takes place in oviduct to give rise to single celled zygote. The zygote, divides to become multicellular embryo which gets fixed in uterus. The embryo remains attached to, uterine walls throughout gestation period which is about 40 weeks in humans., 18., , 19. The basic requirements for sexual reproduction to take place are involvement of two parents and, fusion of their haploid gametes. In the sexual reproduction, a new individual is formed by the fusion of, two haploid gametes, one from the male parent and the other from the female parent. Since the new, individual formed is diploid in nature, the gametes must be formed by meiosis, so that chromosome, number can be reduced to half. When fusion of gametes occurs, the two nuclei of these two gametes, fuse and the chromosome number is restored to normal. The zygote, thus formed is diploid in nature., Importance of sexual reproduction:, Sexual reproduction involves fusion of male and female gametes coming from both the parents. The, fusion of these gametes results in genetic variations in the offsprings. This way sexual reproduction, promotes diversity of characters in offsprings by providing genetic variations. These genetic variations,, thus lead to evolution of species as well as allow the organisms to become better adapted in the changing, environment., 20. (a) When the implantation has occurred in uterus of the mother, the inner lining of the uterus, thickens and is richly supplied with the blood vessels to provide nourishment to the growing, embryo., (b) If the egg is not fertilised, it lives for about one day. Since, the thickened uterus lining is no more, required, it will slowly break down and come out through the vagina as blood and mucus known, as menstruation which lasts for about two to eight days., 21. The four main steps involved in sexual reproduction are:, (i) In the first stage of sexual reproduction, meiosis process occurs and the number of chromosomes, reduces from diploid (2n = 46) to haploid (n = 23) for each gamete., (ii) In the second stage, there is transfer of male gametes into the female body., (iii) In the third stage, the two gametes will fuse together after fertilisation, a single male gamete will, fuse with a female gamete. i.e. fertilisation process takes place., (iv) After fusion of male and female gametes, they form a zygote, in which the number of chromosomes, is restored to diploid (2n = 46)., The two main advantages of sexual reproduction are:, (i) There are more variations, which leads to better adaptability of the offsprings in the environment., (ii) Promotes the diversity in the characteristics of offspring, because it results by fusion of gametes., 22. Any one of the following differences:, (i) In sexual reproduction two opposite sexes are involved whereas in asexual reproduction only one, individual is involved., (ii) In sexual reproduction male and female gametes formation take place whereas in asexual reproduction, no gamete formation occurs., , 76, , Science-10

• Sexually reproducing organisms have better chances of survival., , • This is because more variations are generated., VI. 1. (i) ‘A’ is stigma, ‘B’ is pollen tube, ‘C’ is ovary and ‘D’ is egg cell (female germ cell)., (ii) Pollination is a process of transfer of pollen grains from the anther of stamen to the, stigma of carpel. It is necessary for fertilisation by sexual reproduction., (iii) When male gamete and egg fuse together to form zygote, it is called fertilisation., It takes place in ovule. After that the ovule develops a tough coat and is gradually, converted into seed., Fruit: The ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form a fruit after ovule has been, fertilised., 2. (i) (a) Egg develops in ovary., (b) Fertilisation takes place in fallopian tube., (c) The fertilised egg gets implanted in uterus., , A, B, , C, , D, , (ii) (a) The inner uterus lining becomes thick to receive the zygote and is supplied with blood and, nutrients to nourish the embryo., (b) T,  he inner uterus lining breaks and released in the form of blood and mucus through vagina., 3.

Two causes of human population explosion are:, (i) Reduced mortality rate due to better medical facilities., (ii) Desire for male child., (iii) Less awareness of birth control methods., (iv) Illiteracy and poverty., (Any two), Methods to check population explosion are:, (i) By using contraception methods., (ii) Awareness among people of the advantage of small family., 6. (a) The organ that produces sperms as well as secretes male hormone is testis. The hormone secreted, by it is testosterone. Its important functions are as follows:, It stimulates sperm production., It stimulates the development of secondary sexual characters in males like growth of beard hairs,, low pitch voice, etc. It involves in the development, maturation and functioning of the male, accessory sex organs like vas deferens and seminal vesicles, , How do Organism Reproduce? 77

7., , (b) In human female reproductive system, the process of fertilisation takes place in one of the fallopian, tubes., (c) The embryo gets nutrition from the mother’s blood with the help of a special tissue called placenta., Placenta is a vascular membranous organ that connects the developing foetus to the uterine wall, of the mother. It contains villi on the embryo’s side of the tissue. On the mother’s side are blood, spaces, which surround the villi. This provides a large surface area for glucose and oxygen to pass, from the mother to the embryo. The placenta draws nutrients and oxygen, which it supplies to the, foetus, from the maternal circulation. In turn, the placenta receives carbon dioxide and wastes of, foetal metabolism and discharges them into the maternal circulation for disposal., (a) (i) Fallopian Tube/Oviduct, (ii) Uterus, (iii) Vagina, , (b) People prefer use of condoms as it prevents STDs/gives privacy to the user. Condoms help create a, mechanical barrier preventing meeting of sperms and ovum., 8. (i) Prostate glands and seminal vesicle add their secretions so that the sperms are in a fluid state and, it makes their transport easier and also provides nutrition to sperms. Testes secrete testosterone, hormone which brings about changes in the appearance in the boys at the time of puberty., (ii) Female foeticides/illegal sex selected abortion of female child., (iii) Interfere in release of egg and eggs are not released., 9. (a) (i) Barrier method, (ii) Oral pills, (iii) Use of copper-T, (iv) Vasectomy in males, tubectomy in, females., (b) • It is because female foeticide is increasing., • It leads to unbalanced sex ratio i.e., more males, less females., On long run, it will help in maintaining healthier (equal) sex ratio., It will save mothers from illegal medical termination of pregnancy and health issues., (c) Gonorrhoea and syphilis are bacterial infections., Warts and HIV-AIDS are viral infections., 10. [Diagram drawn and annotated with the following points will also be considered], , – Stamen is the male reproductive part and it produces pollen, grains., • The ovary contains ovules and each ovule has an egg cell., • The pollen needs to be transferred from the stamen to the, stigma., • If this transfer of pollen occurs in the same flower, it is referred, to as self-pollination./ On the other hand, if the pollen is, transferred from one flower to another, it is known as crosspollination., , After the pollen lands on a suitable stigma, it has to reach the, female germ-cells which are in the ovary. For this, a tube grows, out of the pollen grain and travels through the style to reach, Germination of pollen on stigma, the ovary/Figure, • The male germ-cell produced by pollen grain fuses with the, female gamete present in the ovule., • This fusion of the germ-cells or fertilisation gives the zygote., • After fertilisation, the zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule., , 78, , Science-10

• The ovule develops a tough coat and is gradually converted into a seed. The ovary grows rapidly and ripens, to form a fruit., • Meanwhile, the petals, sepals, stamens, style and stigma may shrivel and fall off., , C ase study questions, , 1. The male reproductive system consist of portions which, produce the germ-cells and other portions that deliver the, germ-cells to the site of fertilisation. Testes are located, outside the abdominal cavity in scrotum because sperm, formation requires a lower temperature than normal, body temperature. It also has a role of secretion of male, sex hormone which brings changes in appearance seen, in boys at the time of puberty. Vas deferens unites wih a, tube coming from urinary bladder.

But it is essential to maintain the continuity of race., • Those organisms which may look similar to each other and can breed with each other to produce a fertile, offspring belong to the same species., • Reproducing organisms create new individuals that look very much like themselves., • Reproduction is linked to the stability of population of species., • The chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell contain information for the inheritance of features from parents, to their offsprings in the form of DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) molecules. DNA makes genes hence express, themselves by regulating production of proteins in the cell. Offspring look similar to parents as they inherit, genes from their parents., • Before dividing a cell uses chemical reactions to build copies of their DNA (replication of DNA). Cell divides, to give rise to two new cells and both daughter cells receive one copy of DNA., , 80, , Science-10

Page 80 :
• DNA copies generated will be similar but may not be identical to the original due to errors during copying., • Division of cell is equivalent to cell reproduction. Organisms reproduce due to division in cells. Reproduction, can be of two types:, (a) Asexual: The cells divide to make identical cells keeping the chromosome number constant., (b) Sexual: It involves formation of gametes. They fuse to form zygote. Zygote once again multiplies keeping, the chromosome number constant., • During sexual reproduction gametes form due to a special cell division which not only reduces the, chromosome number to half but also brings minor changes in DNA. This results in genetic variations among, the offsprings., • Variations are useful for the survival of species over time., • The inbuilt tendency for variation during reproduction is the basis for evolution., • In asexual reproduction, the offspring arises from a single parent without the involvement of sex cells (or, gametes)., • Binary fission in Amoeba, budding in Hydra, spore formation in Rhizopus fungus (or bread mould),, regeneration in Planaria (flatworm), fragmentation in Spirogyra and vegetative propagation in flowering, plants like Rose plant are examples of asexual mode of reproduction., • Fission can be binary fission (divide into two), or multiple fission (splits into many new organisms)., • Artificial propagation of plants can be done by cutting, layering, grafting and tissue culture., • Sexual reproduction involves two parents by making use of gametes., • Human, fishes like shark, cats, dogs, horses, deer, rabbits, lions and most of the flowering plants reproduce, by sexual reproduction., • Sexual reproduction in flowering plants take place by pollination and fertilisation., • Sexual reproduction in animals involves the formation of sperms and egg, joining together to form zygote, and then form zygote to form the baby animal., • The male reproductive system involves testis, penis, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, vas deferens (sperm, duct), urethra., • Female reproductive system involves ovary, uterus, oviduct (fallopian tube), cervix, vagina. Fertilisation of, egg occurs in fallopian tube., • In human females, the ovaries start releasing ovum or egg (female gamete) once every 28 days from the age, of puberty. The first occurrence of this process (menstruation or periods cycle) at puberty is called menarche., • The permanent stoppage of periods cycle after attaining the age of 45 to 50 years is called menopause., • Birth control methods like barrier method (using condoms and diaphragm pills, IUCD (Intra-Uterine, Contraceptive Device), surgical methods (Vasectomy in males and Tubectomy in females) are essential to, control population and for gap between the birth of children., • STDs are sexually transmitted diseases like Gonorrhoea, Syphilis and AIDS., • By educating adoloscents and youth about reproductive issues, it could be possible to keep society healthy, and avoid problems like female foeticide., , Common Errors, Errors, , Corrections, , • Students do not make diagrams correctly, neatly ☞ Students must do practice of all diagrams in this, and do not label it properly., chapter and label them properly with pencil., • Students write wrong examples of asexual, reproduction., , ☞ Students should remember:, spirogyra–, fragmentation, planaria and hydra–regeneration,, Amoeba–binary fission, Plasmodium–multiple, fission, Rhizopus–spore, Hydra and Yeastbudding., , How do Organism Reproduce? 81

Accumulation of Variation during Reproduction, • Variations appear during reproduction whether organisms multiply asexually or sexually., Asexual Reproduction, Sexual Reproduction, Variations are fewer., , Variations are large., , Occurs due to small, inaccuracies in DNA copying Occurs due to crossing over and separation of, (mutation), chromosomes, (mutation)., , Importance of Variation, • Depending upon the nature of variations different individuals would have different kinds of advantage. For, example, bacteria that can withstand heat will survive better in a heat wave., • It increases the chances of its survival in a changing environment. Free ear lobes and attached ear lobes are, two variants found in human populations., • If one bacterium divides and again the resultant two bacteria divide, the four individual bacteria generated, will be highly similar, due to asexual reproduction., • There will be only minor differences between them, generated due to small inaccuracy in copying of DNA., • If sexual reproduction is involved, greater diversity will be generated., • All these variations in the species do not have equal chances of survival., • Different individuals would have different kind of advantages., • Evolution involves selection of variants by environmental factors., , Gene: It is a section of DNA that provides information for one protein in a cell., • If proteins works better and efficiently, the traits get expressed in better way. If protein helps in growth of, plant, it will be taller. If protein does not work properly, plant will be shorter. It means gene will control the, trait. It is a unit of inheritance., , Chromosome: Each gene set is present as separate independent pieces called chromosomes. Each cell will, , have two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent. The total number of chromosomes in the offspring, will be 46, 23 from mother and 23 from father., , Mendel and His Work on Inheritance, Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884): Started his experiments on plant breeding and hybridization, • Mendel was known as the Father of Genetics, , Plant selected by Mendel: Pisum Sativum (garden pea).

Page 84 :
Allele: A pair of genes that control the two alternatives of the same character e.g., TT/tt., Heterozygous: The organism in which both the genes of a character are unlike e.g., Tt., Homozygous: The organism in which both the genes of a character are similar e.g., TT, tt., Dominant: The gene which expresses itself in F1 generation is known as dominant gene., Recessive: The gene which is unable to express itself in presence of the dominant gene., Genotype: It is the genetic constitution (genetic makeup) of an organism which determines the characters., Phenotype: It is the physical appearance of an individual. (Tall or short), Mendel’s Experiments: Mendel conducted a series of experiments in which he crossed the pollinated plants, to study one character (at a time), TT, tt, -----Pure or homozygous condition, Tt, -----Heterozygous condition or Hybrid, , Phenotypic ratio: Ratio among numbers of individuals with different external features, e.g., 3:1, Genotype → Genetic makeup [TT, Tt or tt], , Genotypic ratio: Ratio among numbers of individuals with different genetic make up, e.g., 1:2:1, , Monohybrid Cross:, • Cross between two pea plants with one pair (monohybrid cross) contrasting characters,, Example: Tall or Short Plants., Parent Generation , Tall plant, ×, Dwarf plant, , TT ×, tt, Gametes , T, T , t, t, (Ovules) (pollen), F1 Generation T T, (first filial generation) , t, T t , Tt, t, Tt Tt, Genotypic and phenotypic ratio , All hybrid tall plants Tt, , Self Pollination (F1), ×, (F1), Gametes , T, F2 Generation, (Second Filial Generation) , , T, , , t, , , t , T , TT , Tall , Tt , Tall , , T, , t, , t, Tt, Tall, tt, Short, , , Phenotypic ratio, , = 3:1, Genotypic ratio, = 1:2:1, Both dominant gene TT : One dominant, one recessive gene Tt : Both recessive gene tt., , Observations:, • All F1 progeny were tall. , • F2 progeny ¼ were short and, ¾ were tall., • Phenotypic ratio: F2, , –, , 3:1, , • Genotypic ratio: F2, , –, , 1:2:1, , Conclusions:, TT and Tt both are tall plants while tt is a short plant., • A single copy of T is enough to make the plant tall, while both copies have to be t for the plant to be short., • Character/ Trait like ‘T’ is called dominant trait (because it expresses itself) and ‘t’ is recessive trait (because, it remains suppressed)., , Heredity and Evolution 85

Page 86 :
Law of independent assortment, • Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes., , Mechanism of Heredity: Most of the characters or traits of an organism are controlled by the genes. Genes, , are actually segments of DNA guiding the formation of proteins by the cellular organelles. These proteins may, be enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and structural components of different types of tissues. In other words,, DNA/ genes are responsible for structure and functions of a living body. Genotype of an individual controls its, phenotype., , • Since we inherit half of our chromosomes[genes] from each of our two parents, hence we resemble both of, them or their side of family members. For the same reasons, siblings resemble each other too. But if there are, errors during DNA copying, genes may get altered and variation may appear in the form of a defect, disease, or simply changed phenotype. Sexual reproduction is also a source of variation., , Sex Determination, , • Phenomenon of decision or determination of sex of an offspring., , Factors Responsible for Sex Determination, Environmental: In some animals the temperature at which the fertilised eggs are kept decides the gender., e.g. in snails, some lizards and turtle., In some animals like humans gender of individual is determined by a pair of chromosomes called sex, chromosomes., , Sex Chromosomes: In human beings there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Out of these 22 pairs of chromosomes, are called autosomes and the last pair of chromosomes that help in deciding gender of that individual are called, sex chromosomes. XX – female; XY – male., , Sex determination in Human beings, , • Male produces two genetic types of sperms, half with X and other half with Y chromosome. The female, produces only one genetic type of ova, all carrying X chromosome., • This shows that, • All children will inherit an X chromosome from their mother regardless whether they are boys or girls., • Thus sex of children will be determined by what they inherit from their father, and not from their mother., , Heredity and Evolution 87

2. Variations lead to adaptation of an organism, which is then able to survive in difficult and unfavourable, environmental conditions. It means variations promote survival., 3. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is self replicative, molecule present in all living organisms as, the main constituent of chromosomes. It passes on genetic characteristics to offsprings., 4. DNA is found in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells and cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. It is also present, in plastids and mitochondria., 5. (i) Heredity (ii) Evolution, 6. Gene is the unit of heredity present in chromosomes, DNA which directs specific protein synthesis,, when it is passed from the parent to the offspring., 7. DNA, 8. Heredity is a process in which traits are passed onto the offspring from parents., 9. Sexual reproduction involves combination of genes from two parents, the genetic material gets, exchanged between pairs of chromosomes before formation of their gametes which cause changes., 10. All variations will not be able to survive in the environmental changes, which is an essential requirement, for survival., 11. It is because cutting of tail is done surgically and it is not inherited., 12. The ratio of homozygous tall and heterozygous dwarf plant in F2 generation is 3 : 1., 13. Gene or DNA, 14. No, mother does not play an important role because mother has only ‘X’ chromosomes whereas father, has both X and Y chromosomes. When offspring takes ‘X’ from mother and ‘Y’ from father, then baby, boy is born., If offspring takes ‘X’ chromosomes from mother as well as father, girl child is born. The probability of, getting boy or girl is 50 : 50., 15. The information is not sufficient because information is confined upto two generation. We need, information about third generations to predict the dominant trait., 16. The traits which are visible to us are called phenotype, e.g. tall or dwarf (short) are phenotype traits of, the plants., 17. Genotype shows the genetic constituent of an organism, i.e. it is the description of genes present in, an organism. For example, TT, Tt or tt where T and t are the different forms of the same gene. The, genotype of tall plant is TT and that of dwarf plant is ‘tt’., 18. Mendel’s first law, also known as the law of segregation states that ‘during gamete formation, the, alleles of the character segregate in such a way that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene’., 19. Mendel’s second law, also known as the law of independent assortment states ‘that for different traits, genes segregate independently during the formation of gametes’., 20. Variation is the difference in characteristics or traits among the individuals in a particular species., 21. (i) Colour of eye, (ii) Height, (iii) Colour of skin, 22. Monohybrid cross is the cross between two individuals with one pair of different traits., 23. Man — Homo sapiens, Garden pea — Pisum sativum, 24. Those chromosomes which decide whether the offspring will be male or female are called sex, chromosomes. Many animals have two types of chromosomes. Human beings have ‘X’ and ‘Y’ sex, chromosomes., 25. Chromosomes are long thread like structures which contain genetic information of an individual., These are located in the nucleus of a cell., 26. After obtaining F2 progeny from F1 generation in the dihybrid cross, Mendel concluded that when two, pairs of traits are combined in a hybrid, one pair of character segregates independently from the other, pair of character., 27. Bio-chemical reactions are not fully reliable, therefore, it may cause slight difference which causes, these variations., 28. Phenotype., 29.

Individual chromosomes can be identified by their lengths, position of centromere and binding pattern, of staining and shape., 35. Male, IV. 1. Offspring always takes 23 chromosomes from father and 23 chromosomes from mother and in total has, 46 chromosomes. It means that total number of chromosomes remain constant., 2. • Mendel selected pure breed of tall (TT) and short (tt) pea plants., • He crossed these plants and carefully produced seeds. This is called F1 generation., • All the plants in F1 generation were tall, showing that tallness is dominant trait., • Now these plants were self pollinated., • In the F2 generation, 3 out of 4 plants, i.e. 75% were tall and one out of four, i.e. 25% were short, plants. It shows that shortness is the recessive trait., 3., , Dominant traits, , Recessive traits, , I t expresses itself with or without the presence of, recessive trait., , I t is able to express itself only in the absence, of dominant trait., ,  or example: tall plant, round seed, violet flower, F, etc. are dominant traits in a pea plant., ,  warf plant, wrinkled seed, white flower, etc., D, are recessive traits in a pea plant., , (i) Tigers may get extinct in near future due to natural calamities, lack of available food and due to, their small number., (ii) Cross breeding may be less possible. Variations will not occur, which is essential for the survival., (iii) Adaptation due to changing environment, like cutting of forests, global warming becomes difficult., (iv) Protection from enemies is easy if they are more in number., 5. We cannot predict because information is not sufficient. We can decide dominant or recessive trait if, we have the data for at least three generations. More information is required., 6. (a) (i) Law of dominance. (ii) Law of segregation (iii) Law of independent assortment, (b) Yes, each trait is influenced by DNA of both parents., 7. The generation produced by the offsprings of F1 generation is called F2 or second generation., 8. yyrr – wrinkled, green seeds, yyRR – Round, green seeds., 9. According to law of dominance, dominant trait is expressed in F1 generation although dominant as, well as recessive traits are inherited. Single copy of dominant trait is sufficient for expression of tall, dominant trait in F1 generation., 10. A gene is present on a segment of DNA chromosome., (i) It provides information of one protein to another and is responsible for its change., (ii) It ensures stability of DNA., It means change in gene segment of DNA will bring change in DNA., 11. Genes are located on chromosomes at fixed positions. They are made of nucleic acid (DNA) therefore, acidic in nature., 12. (i) Male produces two genetic types of sperms, half with X and other half with Y chromosome. The, female produces only one genetic type of ova, all carrying X chromosome., (ii) Sex of children will be determined by what they inherit from their father, and not from their, mother., 13. (a) 22 + Y chromosome or 22 + X chromosomes., (b) (22 + X + 22 + Y) = (44 + X + Y) chromosomes., V. 1.

Page 93 :
(iii) Wrinkled yellow — 3 (One dominant, one recessive), (iv) Wrinkled green — 1 (both recessive traits), The ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1, 2. (i) Mendel worked on pea plant., (ii) He found that traits are controlled by genes which come in pairs., (iii) Genes are inherited as separate units, one from each parent., 3. (i) Rr and Rr, (ii) Red colour of flower is dominant trait while white colour is the recessive trait., (iii) Monohybrid cross, phenotype ratio is 3 : 1., 4. (a) Axial position of flower., (b) The flower is violet in colour., (c) Shape of pod is inflated., 5. (a) Tall because it is a dominant trait whereas dwarf is a recessive trait., (b) 3 : 1 is ratio between tall to dwarf., (c) In F2 generation, recessive genes are also expressed in homozygous condition., 6. Most of the characters or traits of an organism are controlled by the genes. Genes are actually segments, of DNA guiding the formation of proteins by the cellular organelles. These proteins may be enzymes,, hormones, antibodies, and structural components of different types of, tissues. In other words, DNA (genes) is responsible for structure and, functioning of a living body. Genotype of an individual controls its, phenotype., In human beings there are 23 pairs of chromosome. We inherit half, of our chromosomes (genes) from our two parents. This means half, of DNA in each cell has been inherited from each parent, hence we, resemble both of them or their side of family members., 7. Justification: Women produce only one type of ovum (carrying X, chromosome) and males produce two types of sperms (carrying either X, or Y chromosome) in equal proportions. So the sex of a child is a matter, of chance depending upon the type of sperm fertilising the ovum., 8. (i) Phenotype: The set of characteristics observed in an individual as, a result of interaction of its genotype with the environment., (ii) Genotype: The genetic make up of the cell which determines the, characteristics (phenotype) of an organism., (iii) Dominant trait: The trait of the parent that expresses itself in the, offspring., (iv) Recessive trait: The trait of the parent appearing in the offspring, which cannot express itself in the presence of dominant trait., (v) Factors or Genes: The units of inheritance responsible for a trait in an individual., 9. Chromosomes are long thread like structures which contain heriditary information of individual and, are carrier of genes., The total number of chromosomes present in both human male and female is 46. Out of these, two, chromosomes are the sex chromosomes. In human males, the two sex chromosomes present are X and Y,, while in human female, both sex chromosomes are X., During sexual reproduction, the new individual is formed by the fusion of gametes from both the parents., These gametes are haploid in nature, i.e. they contain only one set of the chromosomes. They are formed, by the meiosis, a type of cell division which reduces chromosome number to half. When these haploid, gametes fuse during fertilisation, the two nuclei of these gametes fuse and the chromosome number is, then restored to normal. Hence, the progeny formed has the same number of chromosomes as that of the, parents., 10. Some traits that are inherited may not express themselves. Such hidden traits are known as recessive, traits. Mendel explained this phenomenon with the help of monohybrid cross. In a monohybrid cross, performed by Mendel, a tall plant was crossed with a dwarf plant which produced all tall plants in Fl, progeny., , 94, , Science-10

Page 94 :
However, when these F1 tall plants were crossed with each other, ‘dwarf’ trait, which was not observed, in the Fl generation, reappeared in the F2 progeny., , Parents, X, , Pure tall plant, (TT), , Pure dwarf plant, (tt), , P1 generation, (Tt), , Selfing of F1 plants, , (Tt), , X, (Tt), , (Tt), , F2 generation, , (Tt), , (Tt), , (Tt), , (tt), , By this, it is concluded that dwarfness is a trait of parent pea plant that was not lost. It was suppressed, in the F1 generation by the tallness trait and reappeared in the F2 generation. So, we can say that a, trait that is inherited may not be always expressed in an organism., 11. Let purple trait be represented by: PP, White trait be : pp, , parents: PP X pp, , ↓, F1 Pp X Pp (Selfing), , ↓, Gametes, , P, , p, , P, , PP, , Pp, , p, Pp, pp, Visible characters of F1 progeny has all flowers purple coloured and in F2 progeny 3 are purple coloured, and 1 is white coloured flower., 12. The ratio obtained is 9:3:3:1 in which parental as well as new combinations are observed. This indicates, that progeny plants have not inherited a single whole gene set from each parent. Every germ cell takes, one chromosome from the pair of maternal and paternal chromosomes. When two germ cells combine,, segregation of one pair of characters is independent of other pair of characters., VI. 1. Mendel carried out dihybrid crosses by crossing two pea plants differing in contrasting traits of two, characters. For example, he crossed a pea plant having yellow colour and round seed characters with, another pea plant bearing green colour and wrinkled seed characters. In the F2 generation, he obtained, pea plants with two parental and two recombinant phenotypes as yellow round and green wrinkled, (parental) and yellow wrinkled and green round (recombinant). This indicated that traits separated, from their original parental combinations and got inherited independently., , Heredity and Evolution 95

Page 95 :
2. (a) Mendel demonstrated that traits can be either dominant or recessive through his monohybrid cross., He crossed true-breeding tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) pea plants. The seeds formed after fertilisation, were grown and the plants that were formed represent the first filial or F1 generation. All the F1, plants obtained were tall., Then, Mendel self-pollinated the F1 plants and observed that all plants obtained in the F2 generation, were not tall. Instead, one-fourth of the F2 plants were short., (For diagram refer to Ans. 10, Short Answer Type Questions-II), RRyy, From this experiment, Mendel concluded that the F1 tall, plants were not true breeding; they were carrying traits Parents Round green, of both short height and tall height. They appeared tall, only because the tallness trait was dominant over the, Ry, dwarfness trait. This shows that traits may be dominant Gametes, or recessive., , (b) Mendel demonstrated that traits are inherited, independently through his dihybrid cross. He considered, two traits at a time, seed colour and seed shape in F1 generation, which yellow colour (YY ) and round shape (RR) are, dominant over green colour (yy) and wrinkled shape, (rr), respectively., , rrYY, Wrinkled yellow, , rY, , RrYy, Round and Yellow, , Mendel cross bred the plants and observed that the F2 progeny of dihybrid cross had a phenotypic, ratio of 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 and produced nine plants with round yellow seeds, three plants with round green, seeds, three plants with wrinkled yellow seeds and one plant with wrinkled green seeds., RY, , Ry, , rY, , ry, , RY, , RRYY, Round yellow, , RRYy, Round yellow, , RrYY, Round yellow, , RrYy, Round yellow, , Ry, , RRYy, Round yellow, , RRyy, Round green, , RrYy, Round yellow, , Rryy, Round green, , rY, , RrYY, Round yellow, , RrYy, Round yellow, , rrYY, Wrinkled yellow, , rrYy, Wrinkled yellow, , ry, , RrYy, Round yellow, , Rryy, Round green, , rrYy, Wrinkled yellow, , rryy, Wrinkled green, , In this experiment, he found that round yellow and wrinkled green are parental combinations whereas, round green and wrinkled yellow are the new combinations. In a dihybrid cross between two plants, having round yellow (RRYY) and wrinkled green seeds (rryy), four types of gametes (RY, Ry, rY, ry ), are produced. Each of these gametes segregate independently of each other and each has a frequency, of 50% of the total gametes produced., From this experiment, he concluded that when two pairs of traits are combined together in a hybrid,, one pair of character segregates independently of the other in terms of character. This is known as the, law of independent assortment., 3. (a) Law of dominance: Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive. An organism with at least, one dominant allele will display the effect of dominant trait e.g. If we carry out a cross between pure, breed tall pea plant with pure dwarf pea plant then F1 progeny will be tall plant because it is dominant, trait whereas dwarf is a recessive trait., (b) Acquired traits even if cause genetic changes in non-reproductive tissues, can not be passed on to, next generation., Genetic changes in reproductive tissues can only be passed on to next generation., , 96, , Science-10

C ase study question, , 1. In some animals, the temperature at which fertilised eggs are kept determines whether the animal, developing in the egg will be male or female. In other animals, such as snails, individuals can change, sex, that is sex is not genetically determined. In human beings, sex of individuals is largely genetically, determined.

(i) (c), (ii) (a), (iii) (a), (iv) (b), (v) (d), , Quick revision notes, , • The difference in traits among the individuals is called variation., • Inheritance from the previous generation provides both common body design as well as changes in it (variations) in the next generation at genetic level., • The second generation will have differences that they inherit from the first generation as well as newly created differences., • Some of these variations may lead to increased survival of individuals., • Sexually reproducing individuals have two copies of genes for the same character. If the copies are not, identical, the form of character that gets expressed is called the dominant trait and the other is called the, recessive trait., • The rules of heredity determines the process by which traits and characteristics are reliably inherited., • Traits in one individual may be inherited separately, giving rise to new combinations of traits in offspring, of sexual reproduction., • The rules for the inheritance of traits in human beings are related to the fact that mother and father equally, contribute the genetic material to the child., • Each trait can be influenced by the maternal and paternal DNA., • Mendel worked out the main rules of inheritance through hybridisation experiments on Garden pea., • Traits are controlled by DNA. A portion of DNA that provides information for one protein in a cell is called gene., • Gene is the unit of inheritance., • DNA is a chemical substance in the chromosomes which carries hereditary characteristics., • In human beings, sex is determined by chromosomes.

• Rheostat is used to provide variable resistance, e.g. speed of fan can be decreased by increasing the resistance, and can be increased by decreasing the resistance., • Ohm’s law gives the relationship between potential difference (V) and current (i):, V ∝ I or V = RI, where R is a constant called resistance of the conductor., • The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of wire and is inversely proportional to its area, of cross section., • Thinner the wire, more will be resistance, that is why a thin wire is used in electric fuse which can resist, high voltage only to some extent and prevent electric circuit from damage., • Longer the wire, more will be resistance., • Resistance also depends upon the material of conductor, e.g. copper is a good conductor of electricity due to, its low resistance., • Temperature also affects the resistance, e.g. resistance of metals increases with increase in temperature and, decreases with decrease in temperature., • That is why some metals become superconductors at very low temperature because practically they offer no, resistance in the path of flow of current., • The equivalent resistance of many resistors connected in series is equal to the sum of the resistances of, individual resistors: RS = R1 + R2 + R3 + …, • The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is given by:, 1, 1, 1, 1, =, +, +, +…, RP, R1, R2, R3, • A cell can supply energy but not charge. Its function is to drive the free electrons in a circuit to flow., • The electrical energy dissipated (lost) in a resistor is given by:, W=V×I×t, where ‘V’ is voltage, ‘I’ is current, ‘t’ is time for which current flows., • Electric kettles, cookers, electric iron and heaters make use of electric energy which is converted into heat, energy. The heating element is made up of a material having high resistance., • When electrons pass through the metal wire, they give some of their energy to the particles of wire and make, them vibrate more randomly, and that is why wire gets hotter., • For the same current flowing in the circuit, greater the resistance, the hotter it becomes. That is why electric, iron, immersion rod becomes red hot but electric transmission wires remain cool due to low resistance., • Energy is measured in Joules., • Electric power is the rate of using electrical energy. It is measured in joules per second J s –1 or, in a unit called Watt (W)., • One watt power is consumed when 1 Ampere (a) current flows at a potential difference of 1 Volt., • The commercial unit of electrical energy is kilowatt hour (kW h)., , 1 W = 1 J s–1,  , 1 kW = 1000 W, , 1 hour = 3600 seconds, , \ , 1 kW h = 1 × 1000 × 60 × 60 J = 36 × 105 = 3.6 × 106 J, • Power (P) = V × I, where ‘V’ is voltage (potential difference) and I is current in Ampere., V, V, \ I=,      , Ohm’s law, R =, I, R, P=V × I =V×, ,             , , V, V2, =, R, R, , ⇒, , P=, , V2, or P = I 2 R, R, , • Electric energy (E) = V × I × t, E=, , V2t, R, , E = I2 Rt, , V, , , ∵ I = R by Ohm’s law , , [∵, , V = I × R by Ohm’s law ], , Electricity 131

It can be done by pushing the magnet or coil faster towards, respectively the magnet or coil., 2. It is based on the principle that a force is experienced by the current carrying conductor in a magnetic, field. The two forces on the opposite sides of current carrying rectangular coil in a magnetic field will, act in different lines, thus bringing the rotational motion., 3.

It is because magnetic field produced in coil ‘A’ will, change, therefore magnetic field induced in coil ‘B’ will also change. Hence induced current in the coil, will also change., 6. (i) Yes, similar magnetic fields are produced. α-particles are positively charged particles, so current, will be in the direction of motion of beam of particles., (ii) No, in neutrons no current will be produced, as these are neutral particles., 7. According to Fleming’s right hand rule, when the thumb, fore finger and the central finger of our, right hand are kept perpendicular to each other when the thumb shows the direction of motion of the, conductor, the forefinger shows the direction of magnetic field when current induced is in the direction, of central finger as shown in the figure., V. 1. (i) When the switch is closed, a changing magnetic field is produced in A which produces a, change in magnetic field in ‘B’ resulting in induced current. However, the magnetic field in A, becomes steady after sometime. Therefore, there is no more induced current in B as there is, no change in the magnetic flux and the reading is zero., (ii) When the switch is opened, there is deflection in the galvanometer but in the opposite direction., The decreasing magnetic field in A produces an induced current in B. Since the change is reversed,, the direction of induced current is also reversed., 2. (a) It will show deflection., (b) The deflection will be in the opposite direction., (c) The galvanometer will not show any deflection., 3. Straight current carrying conductor should be placed in the plane of paper. The magnetic field produced, will be at 90° to the plane of paper and parallel to the vertical axis of magnetic needle. The deflection, will be maximum when current carrying conductor is at 90�°to the plane of paper and magnetic field, will be in the direction parallel to the plane of paper., 4.

An electric motor converts electrical energy into, mechanical energy. It works on the principle that a, current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field, experiences a force., N, S, Following are the essential parts of an electric motor., (i) Coil: It is a rectangular coil of insulated copper wire, having large number of turns., (ii) A large permanent magnet provides strong magnetic, field between its pole pieces. The coil rotates between brush, brush, these pole pieces., (iii) Split rings: The two ends of coil are connected to two, split rings, which are two halves of slip rings., , Working, split ring commutator, When a current is passed through the coil, the direction, of current in AB and CD is in opposite direction but, both are perpendicular to magnetic field. Therefore, by, Fleming’s left hand rule, arm AB of the coil experiences, DC power supply

Page 152 :
an upward force and arm CD experiences a downward force. These two forces being equal and opposite, to each other form a couple which rotates the coil. Arms BC and DA are parallel to the field and the, force between them is zero. The forces on AB and CD turns the coil in clockwise direction. After half, revolution, the split rings change their position. So the direction of current in the coil reverses. The, couple now acting on the coil again moves it in clockwise direction. Due to the function of split ring, commutator and brushes, coil continues to turn in clockwise direction., Split ring commutator changes direction after every half rotation, so that the direction of current going, in the coil also reverses. As a result, the coil continues to rotate in one direction. So, the electrical, energy given to the coil changes into mechanical energy., 2. (i) • Take a coil of wire AB having a large number of turns., • Connect the ends of the coil to a galvanometer as shown in, figure., • Take a strong bar magnet and move its north pole towards the, end B of the coil., • There is a momentary deflection in the needle of the, galvanometer, say to the right. This indicates the presence of a, current in the coil AB. The deflection becomes zero the moment, the motion of the magnet stops., • Now withdraw the north pole of the magnet away from the coil., Now the galvanometer is deflected toward the left, showing that the current is now set up in the, direction opposite to the first., Fleming’s right hand rule is used find the direction of electric current generated in the coil., (ii) (a) The galvanometer needle deflects momentary in one direction because when the key, is closed, magnetic field lines around coil-2 increases momentarily that causes induced current, in coil-2., (b) The galvanometer needle deflects momentarily but in opposite direction because when the, key is opened, magnetic field lines around coil-2 decreases momentarily that causes induced, current in coil-2., 3. (a) Fleming’s left-hand rule: Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and thumb of left hand in such a, way that they are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger points in the direction of, magnetic field, middle finger points in the direction of current then the thumb shows the direction, of force or motion of the current carrying conductor., (b) Principle of working of electric motor: A coil carrying electric current placed in an external magnetic, field experiences a force or torque., (c) (i) Function of armature: Enhances the power of the motor/induces motion., (ii) Function of brushes: Helps easy transfer of charge between the coil and the external circuit., (iii) Function of split rings: Reverses the direction of current after every half rotation of the coil, so, that coil can keep rotating continuously., , C ase study questions, , 1.

This stripe is made of tiny iron-based components whose magnetism can, be modified and can therefore be used to store information. A magstripe is quite similar to a magnetic, recording tape, which you might find in videotape or a music cassette. The magnetic strip on a card can, be ‘written’ or encoded with information because the tiny iron-based particles that make up the strip can, be magnetised in different directions by a device that produces a strong magnetic field. This device is a, ‘solenoid’, which is basically a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The wire is wound around a highpermeable, metallic core that produces a strong magnetic field when a current is passed through it. This, device encodes the required information onto the stripe, which is then pasted on a plastic card. When a, card with a magnetic strip is moved back and forth over the ‘reader head’ , a voltage is induced in the, coils of the card reader device. A card reader consists of solenoid too – the same component that is used, to write information in the magnetic strip., This voltage can be amplified and recorded electronically, which is finally read by a computer (or a processor, installed within the reader) to authenticate a user (in the case of identity cards) or a transaction (in the, case of credit/debit cards)., , (i) Which of the following are the devices that uses magnetic theory to record data, (a) The hotel key cards, (b) Audio tapes, (c) CD’s , (d) All of the above, , (ii) Name the scientist who gave the principle of electromagnetic field, (a) Oersted, (b) Faraday, (c) Bohr, (d) Ampere, (iii) The force on a wire inside a magnetic field increase when, (a) The current is increased, (b) Strength of magnetic field increases, (c) Length of wire is increased, (d) All of above, (iv) The information of users which are read by the ATM machines are stored on, (a) Magnetic box on card, (b) Magnetic strip on card, (c) Inside ATM machine, (d) None of above, (v) The factors on which one magnetic field strength produced by current carrying solenoids depends are, (a) Magnitude of current, (b) Number of turns, (c) Heat produced , (d) Both (a) and (b), Ans.

A solenoid is a long helical coil of wire through which a current is run in order to create a magnetic field., The magnetic field of the solenoid is the superposition of the fields due to the current through each coil.

What, Ecosystem – What are its Components?, Human beings generate a lot of waste materials. These are classified as biodegradable and non-biodegradable, substances., Biodegradable substances: These substances can be decomposed by the action of micro-organisms such, as bacteria into harmless substances. They do not persist in environment and can be converted into compost., Cattle dung, wool, paper, vegetables and fruit peels, agricultural waste are few examples., Non-biodegradable substances: These substances do not break into simpler substances by the action, of micro-organisms. They persist in the environment, therefore, they should be recycled or reused. Plastic,, polythene bags, DDT (pesticide), metal articles, glass objects are all called non-biodegradable substances., , 158

Ecosystem: It is formed by the interaction of all living organisms (biotic components) with the non-living, , constituents (abiotic components) like air, water, temperature of the environment together. Living organisms, interact with each other and their environment for reproduction, growth, survival, and other activities., Ecosystem can be natural or man made/ artificial., • Natural ecosystem: These are formed in nature e.g. ponds, deserts, mountains, oceans, forests., • Artificial ecosystem: These are man-made ecosystems e.g. garden, crop field, aquarium., Producers: Those living organisms which produce their own food are called producers e.g. all green plants, and certain blue-green algae which can produce their own food by photosynthesis are called producers. They, produce food for consumers. They link non-living world to living world., Consumers: Those organisms which depend directly or indirectly on producers for their food are called, consumers. These are of four types, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, parasites as per their feeding habits but, as per the level in food chain, they are categorised as: primary, secondary, tertiary consumers and so on., • Primary Consumer or Herbivores: Those organisms which eat plants are called herbivores e.g. deer,, rabbit, horse, cow, elephant, goat, sheep, grasshopper, seed eating birds, butterfly etc., • Secondary Consumer or Primary Carnivores: Those animals which eat flesh of the herbivores e.g. lion,, tiger, lizard, frog, crocodile etc., • Small Carnivores: They come at 3rd trophic level because they get their food by eating herbivorous animals., They are also called secondary consumers., • Big Carnivores: They are at 4th trophic level as they eat, small carnivores. They are also called tertiary consumers., Omnivores: Those animals which eat plants as well as, animals are omnivores e.g. Cat, human., Parasites: Those organisms which live on the body of, host and take food from it e.g. lice, cuscuta, virus., Decomposers: Those micro-organisms which decompose, the dead plants and animals to simpler substances, e.g. bacteria, fungi. They help in the replenishment of, natural reserviors and for cleaning environment. They, increase the fertility of soil., , Food Chain, • It is a series of organisms taking part at various biotic, levels to form a chain of who eats whom e.g. Grass →, Deer → Lion., , Trophic level: Each level of the food chain is called trophic, level. There is transfer of energy between each trophic, level, which is unidirectional and keeps on decreasing by, 90%, just 10% is available., [CBSE 2020], , Different Food chain in nature, , Autotrophs: Those organisms which prepare their own food from inorganic nutrients are called autotrophs., , They are called producers. They form the first trophic level. They fix up or use sunlight and make it available, for heterotrophs or consumers., , Heterotrophs: They need organic nutrients from other organisms. They derive energy from sun indirectly., These are also called consumers., , 10 percent law: Green plants capture 1% of total incident sunlight and convert it into food energy. Only, 10% of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level. The remaining 90% of energy is consumed in, life processes like digestion, respiration, growth, reproduction by each trophic level. The energy left beyond, 3-5 trophic level is so less that none of the food chains could go beyond. Flow of energy in an ecosystem is, unidirectional. As energy flows from lower to higher trophic level, no energy is available for previous level. It, flows from producer into consumer and not vice versa. Sun is the universal source of energy for all., [CBSE 2020], , Our Environment 159

(a) Water is one of the most precious natural resources that has vital importance in our lives. It is an, essential component of the human body and is used almost everywhere in our day-to-day activities,, such as cooking, washing, in agriculture and industries. It is an indispensable part of our life,, without which the life on earth is not possible. However, the amount of fresh water available for, sustaining life is very less. So, it is very important to conserve water. For creating awareness, among people, we can adopt the following two ways., (i) Door to door campaigning., (ii) Nukkad Nataks, (b) Underground water table can be recharged through rainwater harvesting. Rainwater harvesting, is a process by which rain water is collected and stored for the purpose of recharging the ground, water or for future use like for irrigation and agriculture, for livestock, etc. In India, rainwater, harvesting is an old tradition, which is followed till now in many parts of India. For example,, bawris are traditional architectural rainwater harvesters that were built for collecting water, in, the state of Rajasthan., There are two ways of rainwater harvesting:, , (i) Surface runoff harvesting: In urban areas, rain water that flows away from the surface can, be collected and used for various purposes., (ii) Rooftop rainwater harvesting: The rainwater on the roofs of the buildings is collected, through canals that drains the water into ground water reservoirs. This stored water can later, be utilised., 6. Damaging as it is a deadly poison., Beneficial as it shields the surface of the earth from UV radiations of the Sun., By not using synthetic chemicals like CFCs, that depletes O3 layer., , Our Environment 171

Reuse saves energy needed for recycling, therefore it is better than recycling., 3. Two categories of natural resources are renewable and nonrenewable., (i) Renewable resources can be regenerated. For example, products from forests, grasslands, soil,, groundwater, biological species., (ii) Non-renewable sources cannot be regained or reconstructed once they are used up. For example,, fossil fuels, metals, minerals, etc., 4. I think there should be equitable distribution of resources as resources are limited and demand is more., It will ensure distribution to all and not to only rich and powerful., Forces would be working against an equitable distribution of our resources may be political and social, forces., 5. Sustainable development is the form of growth that meets current basic human needs while preserving, the resources for needs of the future generations., To maintain balance between environment and human development, it is necessary to strive for, sustainable development to meet the needs of present generation and conserving it for the future, , 180, , Science-10

generation. To achieve this we have to consider the different aspects of development. Conservation,, sustainability and biological diversity are interrelated. In order to survive man has to live in harmony, with nature., 6. Causes of water pollution are:, (i) Disposal of industrial wastes, (ii) Dispersion of untreated sewage, (iii) Bathing, washing, (iv) Immersion of ashes., (Any two), Harmful effects are:, , (i) Water born disease, (ii) Consumption of contaminated fishes., (i) R, 7.

Coal and Petroleum., (i) Carbon dioxide, water, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, (ii) Carbon monoxide, nitrogen monoxide., 11. Exploiting natural resources with short term gains in mind will lead to unwanted and excessive use of, resources, that will lead to the depletion of these resources., On the other hand managing our resources with a long term perspective involves judicious use of the, resources that can conserve resources for the future., IV. 1. Population explosion is one of the main causes of environmental imbalance. India’s population has, crossed one billion. In order to meet the basic demands the human beings are forced to encroach upon, forests, mountains, seas, rivers for space and food. They need more cultivable and habitable land. They, kill more animals for food, money and pleasure, cut trees for fuel, timber and paper industry. They use, more fertilizers and pesticides to increase crop production. All these activities of man cause ecological, imbalance and pollution. Population explosion causes physical discomfort which in turn causes mental, tension hence health and social disorders., 2. Advantage of 3R’s policy are:, ,  Reducing pollution of environment by reducing garbage., ,  Reduces stress on industries as they have less demand on them, ,  Save sources for fresh raw materials, ,  Helps save energy demand by industries, ,  Less litter and garbage is generated., V. 1. Exploitation of resources have led to their depletion and pollution. Once people are made aware some, action follow. One such example is Ganga action Plan - A multicore project taken up in 1965 to improve, the quality of Ganga water., Department of environment in December 1984, prepared an action plan for immediate reduction of, pollution load on the river Ganga.There was a need of Ganga action plan as quality of Ganga water, reduced a lot. Ganga water had shown presence of coliform bacteria which are found in human intestine., Presence of these bacteria indicated contamination of water by disease causing bacteria. Pollution of, Ganga water was caused by human activities like releasing domestic and industrial effluents, bathing,, defecating, washing, emerging dead bodies or ashes etc., 2. The 3 R’s are Reduce’ recycle and reuse, , Reduce means using less, (i) Electricity by switching lights and fans not in use., (ii) Water by repairing leakage in taps, using mugs in place of shower or pipes, using water after, bathing or washing utensils to water the plants., (iii) Paper by using its both sides, buying things with less packing material., , Management of Natural Resources 181

(iv) Food by taking small serving at a time, buying only as much as is needed, not buying too many, luxury items., (v) Carrying shopping bags instead of accepting polythene or paper bags while shopping, (vi) Managing carpools, using bicycle or even walking small distances instead of using individual, vehicles. Nowadays metro service in big cities is helping in this regard a great deal., (vii) Buy appliances which economize energy and fuel consumption, (viii) Buy quality products, which last longer, hence do not get discarded easily., (ix) Make less use of disposal items., , Recycle means converting waste to something useful. It means avoiding wastage of raw material and, energy to produce fresh things. We can recycle, (i) Domestic and farm wastes to produce compost, farmyard manure and biogas., (ii) Metal, plastic, glass and paper can be segregated to be converted to recycled items,, (iii) Leftover food can be converted to tasty snacks., (iv) Card, gift-wraps and other waste can be made into useful and beautiful household items, , Reuse means making something useful even after it has served its actual purpose. Since it means not, wasting least of energy it is better than recycling. Some examples are, (i) Using envelopes, bags, cans, bottles etc. once the product packed in them has been used up., (ii) As far as possible, repair rubber tyres, bicycle and household appliances and use them for longer, instead of buying new ones., (iii) Use the clothes till they can be used in household even they are not being worn. They can be made, into bags, napkins etc., , Topic 2., , Forests and wildlife, Water for all, coal and petroleum, , Biodiversity: It refers to the variety within and between all species of plants, animals microorganisms and, ecosystem within which they live and interact., Hotspots: Those areas which have large number of species of plants, animals are called hotspots, e.g. forests, are hotspots of biodiversity., Stake Holders: Those people having interest or concern for something are called stake holders., Wildlife: It means all naturally occurring animals, plants and their species which are in their natural, environment., Conservation: The protection of natural resources to avoid excessive use and wastage is called conservation., Afforestation: Planting more trees at home, on roads, schools and office building is afforestation, which helps, in cleaning environment., Amrita Devi Bishnoi National Award: It is a national award given to the people who helps in wildlife, conservation., Chipko Movement (Andolan): Women of Garhwal protested against destruction of forests by hugging the, trees, when they were about to cut., Water: Water is necessary for all forms of life., • Rain, river, oceans, lakes, ponds are natural sources of water., • Dams, canals, water pumps are used to get water for irrigation., • River water is purified and supplied to home in urban areas., • People use well water and hand pump, i.e. underground water in rural areas., • In Gulf countries, sea water is made fit for drinking by distillation or reverse osmosis (R.O. purifier), Dams: These are large barriers built across river and stream to confine and utilise the flow of water for, irrigation, domestic purposes and electricity., • They are used to save people from floods., • Tehri Dam is the highest dam in Asia, 260 m high on river Ganga., • Hirakud Dam build across Mahanadi river is the longest manmade dam (about 15 km), in the world., • Sardar Sarovar dam is built on Narmada river., , 182, , Science-10

Sustainable management is a resource management technique which aims to conserve the resources, and use them efficiently to avoid their misuse for individual purposes such that they are conserved for, the future., Reuse is better than recycle because of the following reasons:, (i) Recycling needs some processes to use the same material again., (ii) Reuse saves energy by using material again without any changes., (iii) Reuse prevents environmental pollution by not creating any waste., (iv) Reuse saves cost as same material is used again without any process., 21. Natural resources are an integral part of our life. As some resources are exhaustible, non-judicious, use of such resources will lead to their depletion and ultimate banishment, which will affect the life on, Earth. By sustainable use of these natural resources, we are able to conserve our environment. Hence,, sustainable management of resources is very necessary., Reuse is better than recycle because, (i) Recycling needs some energy consuming processes to use the same material again., (ii) Reuse saves energy by using material again without any change., (iii) Reuse prevents environmental pollution by not creating any waste., (iv) It also saves cost as same material is used again without any processing., 22. The involvement of local people will be useful for the successful management of forests in the following, ways:, (i) They should be aware of the fact that diminishing forest cover would disturb the ecological balance., If they show their objection against any such illegal activity that would destroy the forests, it can, lead to a massive effect that will help in management of forests more effectively as it happened, during Chipko Andolan., (ii) Phenomenon forest fires must be reported immediately to the forest officers. The sooner the action, is taken, more the area will be protected. Forest fires purposely caused by local people must not be, practiced., 23. There are innumerable advantages of conserving forests, such as:, (i) It supports life, helps in maintaining the quality of air, water and basic essentials of existence of, life., (ii) Stability in soil is possible by trees. It enables the land based plants and animals to live., (iii) Forests also supply raw materials to many industries, such as wood, spices, medicinal herbs, etc., , (Any two), Advantages of conserving wildlife:, (i) It helps in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity., (ii) We depend upon wildlife for food, clothing, medicines and many other products., 24. All the living forms, including both plants and animals that live in their natural environment, i.e., forests is wildlife., Wildlife is of great importance for us:, (i) It maintains the ecological balance of the nature., (ii) It provides us with many useful resources., 25. Management of forest and wildlife resources is considered as a challenging task because:, (i) There are many stakeholders of forest. They are those people who are directly or indirectly involved, in forest. Management of forest and wildlife has to take into account the interests of all these, stakeholders which become a challenging task., , 188, , Science-10

(ii) Industries would consider the forest as merely a source of raw material for its factories and huge, interest-groups lobby the government for access to these raw materials at artificially low rates, which further poses a challenge to manage the forest and wildlife resources., 26. Two advantages associated with water harvesting at community level are:, (i) Water harvesting is an ideal solution to water problems in areas having inadequate water, resources. It mitigates the effect of drought., (ii) It improves the quality of water and helps in raising groundwater level., IV. 1. (i) No, burning plastic creates lot of pollution and has health hazards., Rakesh separated biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes which saves time and energy for, separation in green and blue dustbins respectively. Green dustbin waste is sent to compost forming, unit or waste to energy conversion plant whereas wastes from blue dust bin is sent for recycling., (iii) We should not throw anything in the park. We should not use polythene., 2. Forests are a store house of biodiversity (hotspots of biodiversity). One measure of biodiversity of, an area is the types and number of species found there. Biodiversity of an area is being affected by, destruction of forests., 3. Forests are destroyed:, (i) For Cultivation of crops (Deforestation.), (ii) For firewood, charcoal, mineral ores, timber, bamboo, fodder and raw materials for paper, rubber, and other forest products like gum, resin, medicinal plants, spices, oils, ‘etc. Due to extensive, deforestation animals and birds migrate to other places or die of hunger and their number, decreases., (iii) Because of water, land and air pollution caused by industries resulting in the death of wild animals, and plants., (iv) Because of urbanization (building cities and establishment of estates) leads to the death of wildlife., (v) Because of forest fires, heavy floods, etc. kill the wildlife, extensive hunting of animals for food,, money and luxury items decreases the number of wildlife., 4. (i) Forests purify the air and also prevent pollution of air., (ii) Forests regulate the climate by maintaining the level of rainfall necessary for their own existence., (iii) Forests also provide rubber, wood, timber, fuel, wood, paper, fodder, gum, resin, kattha, edible, fruits and medicinal plants for industries as well as local people., (iv) Forests serve as a source of income to tribal societies even today, 5. Following steps should be taken to conserve forests:, (i) Silviculture is one of the major programme started to replenish forests.

In 1972, West Bengal forest department recognized its failures in the revival of the degraded sal forest, in southwestern districts of the state. This had led to alienation of people by the administration. Result, was clash between forest officials and villagers. These conflicts were major factor in fueling the militant, peasant movements led by the nexalities. Later the department changed its strategy. In the Arbari, forest range of Midnapore district, far seeing forest officer A.K. Banerjee and villager got involved in the, protection of 1,272 hectares of badly degraded Sal forest., (i) Villager were given employment in the programme of replenishment of forests i.e., silviculture, and harvesting operations, (ii) 25 percent of the final harvest., (iii) Allowed fuel, wood and fodder collection on payment of nominal fee., As a result of active participation of people mainly the local community, the Sal forests of Arbari, underwent recovery by the year 1983., From above example we can reach to the conclusion that by keeping local people out and using forests, cannot prove to be successful in the long run. Forest has to be used sensibly keeping both environment, and development sound., 2. Chipko movement i.e. “hug the trees movement” is one of the movements in India to conserve biodiversity, and to end the alienation of people from their forests which started in March 1973.
