Joule’ law of heating states that when current flows through a conductor, the amount of heat produced H in itis directly proportional to 1. Square of current 12 flowing through the conductor for a given resistance and time! 2. Resistance R of the conductor for a given current and time. 3. Time t for which current is passed through a given conductor. This law is applicable for melting of safety fuse, heating applications like iron, geys v Section-C Chemical equation : 2NaCl + 2H20 NaOH + Cle + He. The process is chloro-alkali process.

The sperm of human have either X or Y chromosome. The ova always carry X chromosome. The sperm is structurally long with a tail. The ova is round in structure. (b) Testes are located outside the abdominal cavity in the case of males. Synthesis of sperms requires 2-3°C lower than normal body temperature, oR (a) Regeneration is a form of asexual reproduction. Itis the ability of a simple organism to re-grow its lost parts, Planaria ean be cut into pieces, and each piece can regenerate into a complete organism. Regeneration is carried out by specialised cells 9- tg OS e~ e Regeneration-in Planaria. (b) vasectomy and tubectomy. Rrvy Round green, wrinkled yellow. 9:3:3:1 The appearance of new combinations among F2 progeny isdue to the Law of Independent Assortment. The Law of Independent assortment states that alleles of two different genes get sorted independently of one another.

OR the reactants, are converted to one or more: 31.__] Whena glass prism is used to obtain a spectrum of D aan inverted position with respect to the first position will allow all the colours of spectrum to recombine, Thus a beam of white light will emerge from the other side of the second prism. I Baa) (a)Factors on which the magnetic field produced by a current carrying conductor depends are : I (i) current passing through the conductor. (ii) distance of from the conductor. (b) Right hand thumb rule states that, “If you imagine holding a current carrying wire in your right-hand with your thumb pointing towards the direction of electric current 1 fow then the dire which your fingers curl, gives the direction of lines of force of the magnetic field”. (c) 1 35.) Biological magnification is the phenomenon in which harmful chemicals enter in the | 11 food chain and its concentration increases at each tropic level. The levels of biological magnification is different at different levels of the ecosystem. It will be increases with cach successive level. It is maximum at highest tropic levels and minimum at lowest | topic levels. | (b) garden and erop field (any other examples) ' | } - Section D FA] Metal nitrate (A) is Tead nitrate (Pb(NOs)2) B is nitrogen dioxide (NOz), Cis oxygen gas) 2 (O») and D is Lead iodide ,Pbls Chemical equations U 1 ‘A process in which one or more substances.

Sensory 2 neuron receive the stimulus and then send this information to spinal cord or brain. Then further information send to effectors via motor neuron. | OR (a) Phototropism is the phenomenon by which the plant bends in the direction of light. The plant part which moves towards light is called positive phototropism. If the plant part moves away from light, then it is called negative phototropism. Examples. The shoot of the plant shows positive phototropism whereas, roots shows negative | phototropism | (b) When a tendril is in contact with support we can say a wall or any other plant more auxin diffuses towards the side of tendril away from the support. This auxin concentration stimulates the cells to grow longer on the tendril side which is far from the support. This leads to coiling of tendrils around support. 36. ‘An imaginary line passing through the centers of two spheres of which the spherical lens is a part is known as the principal axi (i) Given u =- 60 em, f= -30.em By lens formula, I/v -I/u = 1/f liv = 1/f + Iu I/v = 1/-30 + 1/-60 lév = 2+1/-60 Iw 20 v=-20cm (ii) Since, v is negative, therefore image formed on the same side of the object. Nature of image is virtual, erect, diminished and formed between focus and optical centre.

Hence, ionic solids do not conduct electricity in solid state. Page 6 of 7OR Gallium and Cesium have very low melting points. These two metals will melt if you keep them on your palm. 38. (i) Blood pressure is high in arteries than veins because artery carry the blood from the | 1 ___ heart to other body parts and due to pumping action of heart blood pressure is high, (ii) veins have valves . Valves prevent backflow of blood because blood flows at slow — | I. speed in v (iii) Blood vessels damaged by high blood pressure can narrow, break or leak.
