Q

Gibberellin

A

Growth of stem

22
Q

Cytokinin

A

Promotes cell division

23
Q

Ethylene

A

Ripening of fruit
It is a gaseous hormone

24
Q

Pituitary gland

A

Called master gland
Located at base of brain
Growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone produced

25
Thyroid gland
Located at neck Thyroxine produced, helps in controlling metabolism Iodine required
26
Deficiency of iodine in diet
Required for thyroxine hormone Causes giotre
27
Adrenal gland
Adrenaline hormone Fight or flight
28
Pancreas
Insulin and glucagon Regulates blood glucose levels Mixed gland
29
Testis
Testosterone
30
Ovary
Estrogen
31
Stomach
Digestion of protein
32
Small intestine
Digestion of carbohydrates proteins fat
33
Liver function
Produces bile juice which makes food alkaline from stomach and emulsification of fat
34
Pancreas
Secretes pancreatic juice Contains trypsin for digesting proteins and lipase for breaking down emulsified fat
35
What happens to food in small intestine
Protein to amino acids Complex carbohydrates to glucose Fats to fatty acids
36
Pea plant scientific name
Pisum sativum
37
Why pea plant
7 contrasting traits Short life span Self or cross pollination Produces large number of offsprings
38
Traits of pea plant
Plant height Tall dwarf Pod shape inflated constricted Seed shape round wrinkled Seed color yellow green Flower position axial terminal Flower color purple white Pod color green yellow
39
Law of dominance
If the pair is heterozygous, one trait will dominate the other
40
Law of segregation
At the time of gamete formation, the gametes separate and unite back on formation of xygote
41
Law of independent assortment
Transfer of one character is independent of other character
42
Binary Fission
Happens in amoeba Divides into two or more daughter cells
43
Multiple fission
Amoeba during unfavorable conditions
44
Budding
Hydra yeast
45
Fragmentation
Spirogyra
46
Regeneration
Hydra, Planaria, starfish
47
Spore formation
Fungi
48
Advantages of vegetative propagation
Faster and earlier than seeds Genetically similar Plants that cannot produce seeds can be propagated
49
Double fertilization
In flower One sperm gamete fertilizes nuclei and another forms zygote
50
Fruit formation
Ovary developed to fruit Ovule to seed
51
What happens to food in mouth
Starch gets broken to maltose
