man parallel bundles of fibers. Example tendon/ligament
 In dense irregular tissues, fibroblast and many fibers are

 Rh antigen of the foetus will be exposed to the Rh –ve blood of ½
the mother s during the first delivery.
 Mother starts preparing antibodies against Rh in her blood and ½
this antibodies leak into the blood of the second fetus and could be
fatal to the fetus and can cause severe anemia and jaundice.

Explanation

22.
 Significance –conserve specific chromosome number of each
species ,it also increases the genetic variability in the population 1

divide due to the infection of root , root hair curls

bacteria to cortex . 1
 some bacteria forms bacterioids and cause the cortical and
pericycle cell to divide. 1
 These cells differentiate into nitrogen fixing cells and thus form
root nodules.

to another.
It is located in inner mitochondrial membrane 1

Explanation 3

29.
 As the stem increase its girth ,due to activity of
vascular cambium outer cortical layers and epidermal
layers get broken and will be replaced by another

9
 protective layers
 Cork cambium develops in this region
 Phellogen cuts off cell on both sides

 Ineer one differentiate into secondary cortex
/phelloderm

periderm ½ X6

brown , has deposition of organic compounds ,it is 1
hard ,durable and resistant to insect bite
 Peripheral region is lighter in colour, it involved in the 1
conduction of water and minerals
