SECTION C
I l. A student observed a having following characteristic.
Free-living or parasitic, bilateral symmetry, organ system level of organisation,
triploblastic and pseudocoelomate.
(i) Identity to which phylum this specimen belongs. Give two other examples of
organisms belonging to this phylum.
(ii) Describe its digestion, excretion and reproduction briefly.
Dear Student,
SECTION A
1. Isozymes are enzymes that have different structures but perform the same function. They have different amino acid sequences but catalyse the same reaction. This difference allows them to catalyse the same reaction at different locations.
2. The recombined homologous chromosomes (bivalents) form chiasmata at the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis.
3. Cytotaxonomy plays an important role in the classification of biological species. In this, scientists compare the characteristics of chromosomes (chromosome number, structure and behaviour) and position of the centromere. The information obtained from comparative studies helps in determining the categories of genus, species and sub-species.
For remaining queries, we request you to post them in separate threads to have rapid assistance from our experts.
Regards
