FAQs on Past Year Paper - Biology (Set - 2), Delhi, 2015, Class 12, Biology - Additional Study Material for NEET

1. What is the structure and function of a cell membrane?
Ans. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and separates its internal environment from the external environment. It is composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The lipid bilayer provides a selective barrier, allowing certain substances to enter or leave the cell while preventing others from doing so. The proteins embedded in the membrane serve various functions such as transport of molecules, cell signaling, and cell adhesion.
2. How does DNA replication occur in eukaryotic cells?
Ans. In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication occurs in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle. The process involves several steps. Firstly, the double-stranded DNA molecule unwinds and separates into two single strands. Then, DNA polymerase enzyme binds to the separated strands and adds complementary nucleotides to each strand, resulting in the formation of two new DNA molecules. The newly synthesized DNA molecules are then checked for errors and repaired if necessary.
3. What are the different types of genetic mutations and their effects?
Ans. There are several types of genetic mutations, including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and chromosomal rearrangements. Point mutations involve a change in a single nucleotide base, which can lead to the replacement of one amino acid in a protein, resulting in a different protein structure and potential functional changes. Insertions and deletions involve the addition or removal of nucleotides, causing a shift in the reading frame and often resulting in non-functional or truncated proteins. Chromosomal rearrangements involve changes in the structure or number of chromosomes, which can disrupt gene expression and lead to genetic disorders.
4. What are the different types of cell division and their significance?
Ans. The two main types of cell division are mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells and is responsible for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells and produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is essential for sexual reproduction and contributes to genetic diversity.
5. How does the process of photosynthesis occur in plants?
Ans. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. It occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. The process involves two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is captured by chlorophyll and used to generate ATP and NADPH. These energy-rich molecules are then used in the light-independent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released as a byproduct.
