Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. ln the given diagram, we can observe that stem cells are capable of forming a variety of new cell types that can combine to form tissues and organs.
ii. With advances in biotechnology, if provided with specific chemicals/stimulus and optimum conditions, stem cells may develop into neurons, brain, intestines, liver, heart and bone.
iii. These valuable organs could then be used for organ transplantation to help people in need, i.e. in whom the organs have become functionless due to certain conditions.

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: With the help of RNA, the genes present in the form of DNA particioate in the functioning of cell and thereby control the structure and functioning of the body. Information about protein synthesis is stored in the DNA and synthesis of appropriate proteins as per synthesized by DNA through rthe RNA. This is called 'Central Dogma'. mRNA is produced as per the sequence of nucleotides on DNA. Only one of the two strands of DNA is used in this process. The seqience of nucleotides in mRNA being produced is always complementary to the DNA strand used for synthesis. Besides, there is uracil in RNA instead of thymine of DNA. This is process of RNA synthesis is called 'transcription'. Which part of the cell control the structure and fucntioning of the body?

Every other phylum has typical locomotory organs. E.g. Nereis crawls with the help of parapodia, whereas earthworm buries in soil by setae. Spiders have four pairs of walking legs, crab has five while all insects have three pairs of walking legs. The walking legs are also called appendages. Starfish moves with the help of tube feet. Snails and bivalves use muscular foot for locomotion. Birds flying with their spread out wings and fish swimming with their fins, both have spindle-shaped body tapering at both the ends. While flying or swimming such body offers least resistance during locomotion. Mammals have two pairs of limbs while animals like snakes are limbless. Other animals belonging to the class of snakes also have very weak limbs.which make them creep on the ground. Answer the question: Which class of animals show weak legs?
