24. Planting sugarcane by cutting it into pieces is a type of asexual
reproduction called stem cutting. This method is also known as
vegetative propagation, which involves the rapid propagation of a plant
from its leaves, roots, or stem.
25. Reflex are continues to be more effective as it gives responses very
rapidly . Reflex arc or reflex action that is controlled mainly by spinal
cord . For example if you touch any hot object that response will be
quickly transmitted back to the muscle and this will prevent the skin to
be harmed .

29.
(a) Potassium hydroxide (KOH) absorbs all the available carbon dioxide
in the bell jar. As the jar is closed completely, no carbon dioxide is
allowed from outside. In this situation, photosynthesis and starch or
glucose production are inhibited.
(b)
(i)diaphragm
ii)larynx
iii)nose r respiratory system
iv)alveoli
OR
(a) If the inner surface of the ileum in the human small
intestine was smooth, rather than being folded and
subdivided into villi, then the extent of absorption will be
decreased and the humans would have needed to evolve a
much longer small intestine to absorb sufficient nutrients from
their food.
(b) Transpiration has an important role in absorption of water,
minerals, regulation of temperature. etc. Exchange of gases
also takes place by opening of stomata. But it causes the loss
of bulk of water and in many cases causes witting causes the
loss of bulk of water and in many cases causes wilting. So
transpiration is said to be a necessary evil.
30. a) Wire A is having low resistance as its current is higher than wire B for
a given voltage.
b) The amount of work done in bringing a unit charge from one point to
another point.
OR
a)i) parallel- 2 ohm. ii) 32 ohm
b) series connection
31. a) The rate of doing work is called power. For electric power it's a product
of voltage and current. P = V²/R
b) Power Consumption = 400 X 8 X 30 = 9600W =96kWh.
Cost = 96 X 3= Rs 288.
32. A) ZnCO3→ ( heat) ZnO+CO2
ZnO+C→Zn+CO
B) No reaction
33.
1) It removes the poisonous waste and excess water from the blood by
excreting
them in the form of urine.
2)It regulate the osmotic pressure / water balance of the blood.
The procedure used in the working of artificial kidney is dialysis.
OR

C) C2H5OH- alk KmnO4/ Acid K2Cr2O7→CH3COOH+ H20(
product name)
35.
(a) F1 ---- RrYy
b) Phenotype-9:3:3:1
c)Dominant trait
OR
(a) Because the mother is blue-eyed, bb would be her genotype
(recessive trait). Therefore, though the son is brown-eyed, his
genotype will be Bb (heterozygous). (b) As the man's genotype
is 'BB,' his father could be BB or Bb, as a potential genotype.
Because the son is brown, the father also has brown eyes.
(b) No,
Sex of a child in humans is determined by the type of male haploid
(cell that contains a single set of chromosomes) gamete which fuses
with the female egg. The chromosome in the 23rd pair of a male
gamete can be either X or Y. The female egg always has an X
chromosome. So if the male gamete with the X chromosome fuses with
the female egg, the child will be female. Similarly, if the male gamete
with the Y chromosome fuses with the female egg, the child will be
male.
36. a) R/R’ = 16
b) Series 4.58 A; parallel 18.3 A.
OR
a) An alloy has a high melting point in comparison to pure metal. Hence
will allow more current to flow and thereby allow more heat to be
produced without melting.
b) 4050 KJ
c) Resistance of A wire varies inversely with its area.
SECTION - E
37. A) Ionic compounds
B) Any two eg Cao, MgCl2
C) No ion formation
Or
D) Electron dot str
38.
The plants and animals adopt various modes for nutrition depending
upon their body constitution. During reproduction they undergo cell
division which may lead to variations. Vegetative propagation is a
mode of reproduction that is beneficial to the plants.
(a) Spore formation
(b) Artificial -Cutting- Rose plant, Natural- leaves- Bryophyllum
(c)Rapid growth, Genetically identical offspring, useful for
Seedless plants, It is cheaper, easier method
OR
(c) Variation is important because it helps species adapt to
environmental changes and survive, and it's the basis for evolution.
39. a) An Optically rarer medium is one in which light travels faster while in
optical medium light travels slower.
b) Refraction occurs because of a difference in density of medium which
results in difference in speed of light.
c) Proper diagram.
d) The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the angle of refraction is
constant for a given pair of mediums for a light of particular colour.
OR
Twinkling of stars.
