Given below is the representation of amino acid composition of the relevant translated portion of beta -chain of haemoglobin, related to the shape of human red blood cells. (a) Is this representation indicating a normal human or a sufferer from certain related genetic disease? Give reason in support of your answer. (b) What difference would be noticed in the phenotype of the normal and the sufferer related to this gene? (c) Who are likely to suffer more from the defect related to the gene represented the males, the females or both males and females equally? And why?

Given below is a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow (s) , beyond a reasonable doubt, from the information given in the statement. Statement: The colour of blood is red due to the presence of red blood cells. Conclusion I: If red blood cells are removed, blood will lose its red colour. Conclusion II: Red blood cells will be red as long as they remain in the blood.

The graph shows the oxygen dissociation curves of haemoglobin from two species of mammals, s and T . Which statements could explain the difference in the oxygen dissociation curves of species S and species T ? I. Species T has higher haemoglobin concentration in its red blood cells than species S. II. The haemoglobin in species T has a lower affinity for oxygen than the haemoglobin in species S. III. Species T may be living at a higher altitudes than species S.

Given below is the representation of a relevant part of amino acid composition of the beta -chain of haemoglobin, related to the shape of human red blood cells. (a) Is this representation of the sequence of amino acids indicating a normal human or a sufferer from a certain blood related genetic disease ? Give reason in support of your answer. (b) Why is the disease referred to as a Mendelian disorder ? Explain.

Each question contains STATEMENT-I(Assertion) and STATEMENT-2(Reason).the statement carefully and mark the correct answer accoring to the instrution given below: STATEMENT - 1 : If red blood cells wrer removed from the body and placed in pure water, pressure inside the cell increases. STATEMENT - 2 : The concentration of the salt content in the cells increases.

All living cells require energy for various activities. This energy is available by the breakdown of simple carbohydrates either using oxygen or without using oxygen. The graph below represents the blood lactic acid concentration of an athlete during a race of 400 m and shows a peak at point D. Lactic acid production has occurred in the athlete while running in the 400 m race. Which of the following processes explains this event?
