Answers
Answer 1.
Aneuploidy
Answer 2.
d. lUD’s. Others are natural contraceptive methods and IUD is the barrier method.
Answer 3.
3’→ TAAGC→ 5′
Answer 4.
a. Infertility clinic.
b.
1. IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation): Fertilisation outside the body in almost similar conditions as that in the body.
2. ZIFT (Zygote IntraFallopian Transfer): After IVF, the zygote thus formed is allowed to develop in vitro until it reaches 8 celled stages. Then it is transferred into the fallopian tube. This technique is called ZIFT.
3. GIFT (Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer): Transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce one, but can provide a suitable environment for fertilisation and further development is another method attempted.
4. IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination): In this technique, the semen collected either from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus.

Answer 6.
To control or eliminate the vectors and their breeding places. This can be achieved by avoiding stagnation of water in and around residential areas, regular cleaning of household coolers, use of mosquito nets, introducing fishes like Gambusia in ponds that feed on mosquito larvae, spraying of insecticides in ditches, drainage areas, and swamps, etc. In addition, doors and windows should be provided with wire mesh to prevent the entry of mosquitoes.

eg., Sickle cell anemia
Answer 10.
Nature does a lot of service to mankind, eg., Amazone rain forest produce 20% of total oxygen.in the atmosphere. It make an organism live by helping each other, eg., pollination.
Nature provide aesthetic value and happiness to our mind, eg., walking through forest or watching spring flowers in full bloom etc. give pleasure to our mind. So the service of nature is countless where we cannot give economic value.

Answer 14.
a. No.
b. A blood group means it exists as i iA or iA
iA, B blood group means it exists as iBi, iB
iB. So the child can have genotype.
So the child can have ‘O’ blood group also. Blood group system in human is a \ example for co-dominance.
