Hints and explainations:

Biology-

 

1 .  Kupffer’s cells are macrophages of liver

5. Synonyms for cork cambium are bark cambium, pericambium or phellogen. Phellogen is defined as the meristematic cell layer responsible for the development of the periderm. Cells that grow inwards from the phellogen are termed phelloderm, and cells that develops outwards are termed phellem or cork (note similarity with vascular cambium). The periderm thus consists of three different layers:

  • phelloderm,
  • phellogen (cork cambium) and
  • phellem.

6. Macro nucleus controls metabolic activities

 

9 Birds and mammals have constant body temperature

 

13 Convergent evolution means different groups of organisms adapted for a common  function. In this case swimming

 

20 Vit. D is required for aborption of calcium

 

40. Bivalent represents duplicated paired homologous chromosomes

 

48. Production of ATP in photosynthesis is photophosphorylation

 

52. Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs for purification

 

60 Interferons are produced by virus infected cells

 

64. Commensalism is not obligatory like symbiosis. In ammensalism one species is benefitted.

 

90 Cistrons are structural genes in bacteria. Operons are a group of genes controlled by a common operator
