Experiments
Part A - List of Experiments
Prepare a temporary mount to observe pollen germination.
Study the plant population density by quadrat method.
Study the plant population frequency by quadrat method.
Prepare a temporary mount of the onion root tip to study mitosis.
Isolate DNA from available plant material (e.g., spinach, green pea seeds, papaya).
Part C - Practicals
Study of flowers adapted to pollination by different agencies (wind, insects).
Identification of T.S. of morula or blastula of frog (model).
Study of mammalian inheritance pattern using beads/seeds of different sizes/texture.
Preparation of pedigree charts of genetic traits such as rolling of tongue, colour blindness.
Study of emasculation, tagging, and bagging by trying out an exercise on controlled pollination.
Identify common disease causing organisms like Ascaris (model), and learn some common symptoms of the disease that they
cause.
Comment upon the morphological adaptations of plants found in xerophytic conditions.
Note: The above practical’s may be carried out in an experiential manner rather than recording observations.
Activities
Here are some investigatory activity topics for CBSE class 12 biology:
Isolate DNA from plant material: This activity involves using detergent, non-iodized sodium chloride, and distilled
water to isolate DNA from plant material.

Study the effects of antibiotics on microorganisms: This activity studies how antibiotics affect microorganisms.
Study the effects of green tea on oral bacteria: This activity studies how green tea affects oral bacteria.
Study the effects of aromas on animal behavior: This activity studies how different aromas affect animal
behavior.
Investigate methods to control human blood pressure: This activity investigates methods to control human blood
pressure
