explanation of the Assertion.

explanation of the Assertion.
C. If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false
13 Assertion: Photosynthetically C4 plants are less efficient than C3 plants. 1
Reason: The operation of C4 pathway requires the involvement of only of
bundle-sheath cells.
14 Assertion: The ‘absorption spectrum’ of chlorophyll ‘a’ is determined in 1
terms of
the rate of production either per unit mass of green tissue or per unit
weight of total
chlorophyll.
Reason: Chlorophyll ‘a’ is present in both the pigment system I & II.
15 Assertion: Abscission zone in leaves is formed across the petiole near its 1
junction with the stem.
Reason: In many compound leaves, each leaflet also forms an
abscission zone.
16 Assertion: Plants usually bend towards the source of light. 1
Reason: Shoot apex shows positive phototropism because of differential
growth
caused due to unequal distribution of auxin.

29 Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow 4
The sequence of bases in mRNA is read in serial order in groups of three
at a time. Each triplet of nucleotides (having a specific sequence of
bases) is known as codon. Each codon specifies one amino acid. Many
amino acids have more than one codons. The amino acids are brought to
mRNA by another type of RNA called tRNA each amino acid has at least
one corresponding tRNA. At one end of the tRNA is a trinucleotide base
sequence on mRNA.
Que 1. Which of the following nitrogen bases is not present in RNA?
a) Thymine
b) Adenine
c) Guanine
d) Cytosine
Que 2. Each triplet of nucleotides is called
a) Anticodon
b) Codon
c) mRNA
d) tRNA
Que 3. Each codon specifies
a) 1 amino acid
b) 2 amino acids
c) 3 amino acids
d) None of these
Que 4. The amino acids are brought to —------by another type of RNA
called —----
a) mRNA, mRNA
b) tRNA , mRNA
c) mRNA, tRNA
d) tRNA , rRNA
30 ABO Grouping 4
ABO grouping is based on the presence of absence of two surface
antigens on the RBCs, viz. A and B. Antigens are chemicals which can
induce immune response. The plasma also contains two natural
antibodies. Antibodies are proteins produced in response to antigens.
Importance of Blood Group: During blood transfusion, the donor blood
needs to be carefully matched with the blood of a recipient. Transfusion
of unmatched blood can lead to severe problems of clumping, i.e.
destruction of RBC.
