Assertion(A): All insect pollinated flowers are cross pollinated.
Reason (R): Okra is a self pollinated plant.
Pollination by insects is of very general occurrence among plants. pollination of a flower in which the pollen is carried on an insect is called entomophily. Entomophilous flowers are usually brightly coloured and scented and often secrete nectar. In some species (e.g. Primulas) there are structural differences between the flowers to ensure that cross- pollination occurs. Other examples of entomophilous flowers are orchids and antirrhinums. In Okra, the androecium is monoadelphous. It has a staminal column to which are attached monothecous anthers by small filaments. The capitate stigman projects beyond the staminal column. Bristile beetles are closely associated with the flowers of Okra and feed upon is petals and pollen grains.
While crawling inside the flower the beetles transfer pollen grains to the upper surface of the stigma.
Although, an insect is involved in this pollination, it is self pollination as pollen is transferred to the stigma of same flower

Assertion(A): Organ transplantation patients are given immunosuppressive drugs.
Reason(R): Transplanted tissue has antigens which stimulate the specific immune response of the recipient.
When an organ, such as a liver, heart or kidney, is transplanted from one person into another , the immune system of the recipient triggers the same response against the new organ that it would have against any foreign material, setting off a chain of events that can damage the transplanted organ. This process is called rejection. Acute rejection can occur rapidly , or chronic rejection over a long period of time . Rejection can occur despite close matching of the donated organ and the transplant patient. Immunosuppressant drugs greatly decrease the risks of rejection, protecting the new organ and preserving its function. These drugs act by blocking the recipient's immune system so that it is less likely to react against the transplanted organ. A wide variety of drugs are available to achieve this aim but work in different ways to reduce the risk of rejection.
Tissues that are antigenitically similar are said to be histocompatible such tissues do not induce an immunologic response that leads to graft rejection. Tissues displaying significant antigenic differences are histoincompatible; such tissues induce immune response leading to tissue rejection. Antigens that participate in graft rejection are called as transplantation or histocompatibility antigens. The blood group antigens are important in transplantation. The term major histocompatibility system is applied to a system of cell antigens that exert a decisive influence on the fate of allografts. The major antigen system in human beings is the human leucocytes antigen (HLA) system.

Assertion(A): Diabetes insipidus is marked by excessive urination and too much thirst of water.
Reason(R): Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted by the posterior lobe of pituitary gland.
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin is a peptide hormone, synthesized in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland, that stimulates capillary muscles and reduces the flow of urine and increases its concentration. It is released in response to a fall in the water content of blood plasma and lead to an increase in the permeability to water of the distal and collecting tubules of the nephron. Deficiency or hyposecretion of ADH results in diabetes insipidus.
Diabetes insipidus is characterized by micturating dilute urine several times a dday which results in excessive thirst and dehydration.

Assertion(A): Interferons are a type of antibodies produced by body cells infected by bacteria.
Reason(R): Interferons stimulate inflammation at the site of injury.
Interferons are not antibodies.These are defence proteins that are produced by body cells that are infected by a virus. They travel to nearby cells and prevent the spread of the virus.
Cells that have been infected produce chemical called histamine. This chemical causes the blood capillaries to dilate (get wider) and become more porous. As a result the area swells, gets red, becomes warm, and is painful. This results in more white blood cells coming to the area to fight the infection. If the inflammation happens over the whole body we get a fever. The fever is the body’s way to combat bacteria and viruses. The higher temperature inhibits the pathogen from reproducing.Interferons do not stimulate inflammation at the site of injury.

Assertion(A): An organism with lethal mutation may not even develop beyond the zygote stage.
Reason(R): All types of gene mutations are lethal.

The organism may not even develop beyond the zygote stage. Subvital reduces the chances of survival. Supervital mutations results in the improvement of biological fitness under certain conditions. There may also be mutations which are neither harmful nor beneficial to the organisms in which they occur.

Assertion(A): C4-plants photosynthesize more efficiently than C3-plants.
Reason(R): C4-plants have a shorter carbon dioxide fixation cycle.
The initial work of Kortschak, Hartt and Barr, which demonstrated that rapidly photosynthesizing sugarcane plants fix CO2 into aspartic and malic acids, was confirmed by Hatch and Slack. Hatch and Slack proposed this pathway as Hatch and Slack pathway and named such plant as C4 plants (as the products are four carbon compounds).
C4 plants possess two types of chloroplasts bundle sheath cells and mesophyll cells. The mesophyll cells of C4plants exhibit high activity of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase, which catalyzes the fixation of CO2 with PEP to form oxaloacetic acid. The bundle sheath cells exhibit high RuBP carboxylase and the other enzymes of the Calvin – Benson cycle. C4 plants are highly productive photosynthetically in view of the low affinity of the RuBP carboxylase for its substrate. But CO2 is concentrated as C4acids due to the activity of the PEP carbgoxylase, which in effect maintains high pool levels of CO2 C4 plants are related to very high light – harvesting saturation points. C4 plants exibit low rates of photorespiration only in bundle sheath cells. C4 plants are adapted to high temperature. C4 plants show better utilization of available water.
