Hints and Explainations:

Biology

 

3. CO2  in atmosphere absorbs heat radiations from earth

 

14. In zoology it is used for a type of parthenogenesis in which the sperm stimulates the egg cell to develop into an embryo, but no male inheritance is transmitted. In botany, pseudogamy is used for any reproductive process that requires pollination but does not involve male inheritance.

 

33. Vernalization (from Latin: vernus, of the spring) is the acquisition of a plant‘s ability to flower or germinate in the spring by exposure to the prolonged cold of winter

 

36. Nyctinasty is the circadian rhythmic nastic movement of higher plants in response to the onset of darkness. Examples are the closing of the petals of a flower at dusk and the sleep movements of the leaves of many legumes.

 

51. The perianth consists of a calyx of 4 distinct sepals and typically a corolla of 4 distinct petals that are commonly clawed and diagonally disposed. This condition of the stamens is described as tetradynamous

 

 

65 An episome is a portion of genetic material that can exist independent of the main body of genetic material (called the chromosome) at some times, while at other times is able to integrate into the chromosome
Microsomes are vesicle-like artifacts formed from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) when eukaryotic cells are broken-up in the laboratory; by definition, microsomes are not ordinarily present in living cells

 

69 Phytotoxin refers to a substance produced by a plant that is toxic or a substance that is toxic to the plant.   Many substances produced by plants are secondary metabolites and are the by-products of primary physiological processes. Some examples of phytotoxins are alkaloids, terpenes, phenolics, herbicides and substances produced by bacteria.
