Explanation / Answer

Answer- 34 (A) Embryonic stem cells can produce more of themselves as well as produce specialized cells, but somatic cells are already specialized.

Explanation-

Embryonic stem cells possess the unique feature of pluripotency hence can form all cell types of the body. On the contrary somatic stem cells also known as adult stem cells are multipotent and hence possess a limited ability to differentiate.

Answer- 35 (A) An undifferentiated cell that can become any cell except a placental cell.

Explanation-

The pluripotent stem cells have the ability to form any or all type of cells found in an organism except the placental cells.

Answer- 36

Allotropic speciation- In evolution, speciation that occurs due to geographical seperation.

37- Animal- Heterotrophic, multicellular, mobile, do not contain cell walls, reproduce sexually.

38- Natural selection-

In evolution, the process where advantageous traits are selected by nature, increasing the frequency of those traits in the population.

39- Plants- Autotrophic, multicellular, cell walls composed of cellulose.

40- Bacteria- Autotrophic or heterotrophic, single celled, cell walls composed of peptidoglycan, no nucleus.

41- Fungus- Heterotrophic, multicellular, pre-digest food externally by secreting digestive enzymes.

42- Sympatric speciation- In evolution, speciation that occurs due to reasons other than geographical speciation.

43- Protist- Autotrophic or heterotrophic, single celled, most but not all have cell walls, contain a nucleus, include algae.

44- Genetic drift- In evolution, the rapid drift of an allele or set of alleles due to low population members.

45- Virus- Consists of DNA or RNA wrapped in a protein coat. Does not metabolize or reproduce on its own.

Answer- 46 Amino acid- Are the fundamental building blocks of proteins

47- Nucleic acid- Are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA.

48- Lipid- Consists of long carbon chains of fatty acids.

49- Glucose- Is a simple sugar.

50- Carbohydrate- Is a complex sugar composed of many simple sugars bound together.

Answer- 51 Thermophile- Organism that thrives in hot environment.

52- Anaerobe- Organism that lives without using oxygen.

53- Autotroph- Organism that can generate its own food to get energy for metabolism.

54- Halophile-

Organism that thrives in salty environments.

55- Heterotroph- Organism that consume organic matter or other organisms to generate energy for metabolism.
