3. What would happen to the immune system, if the thymus gland is removed from the body of a person?

Ans: The thymus gland is responsible for the production and maturation of T-lymphocytes. If the thymus gland is removed from the body of a person, then the immune system of the person will become weak.

4. Lymph nodes are secondary lymphoid organs. Describe the role of lymph nodes in our immune response.

Ans: The role of lymph nodes in our immune response is to act as the site where the lymphocytes and the antigen interact with each other. The immune system of the person got responsive when the microorganisms enter the lymph nodes resulting in the activation of the lymphocytes present there.

5. What is the role of histamine in inflammatory response? Name few drugs which reduce the symptoms of allergy.

Ans: Histamine is released by mast cells and they act as an allergy-mediator which causes the dilation of the blood vessels. The drugs which reduce the symptoms of allergy are Antihistamine steroids and adrenaline.

9. Enumerate the two properties of cancer cells that distinguish them from normal cells.

Ans: The two properties of cancer cells that distinguish them from the normal cells are:

i) The cells undergo uncontrolled proliferation without any differentiation

ii) The cells can invade other tissues which are called metastasis.

10. What are allergens? How do they cause inflammatory responses inside the human body?

Ans: The allergens are the substances that cause the hypersensitive reaction of the immune system such as dust, pollen grains, etc. When the person is exposed to an allergen for the first time then no allergy is caused but if they get exposed to allergens frequently then the allergen combines with Ig E on the mast cell resulting in the bursting of the cells and release of Histamines which leads to the inflammatory response. Thus, allergens are said to be weak antigens.

11. What are autoimmune diseases? Give two examples?

Ans: Autoimmune diseases are those in which the immune system of the body gets disturbed ad starts to attack the healthy cells. Immunity is based on the ability to differentiate foreign organisms from self-cells. Sometimes the immune system may go off the track & turns against self-antigen and elicit immunity. Examples of autoimmune diseases are Rheumatoid arthritis and Myasthenia gravis.

8. How does the humoral immune system works when our body is infected?

Ans: The immunity in which antibodies are developed for attacking the microbes is called the Humoral immune response. The receptors are present on the surface of each B-cell that recognize a specific antigen. When the B-cell is exposed to antigens then it will result in triggering of B-cells to proliferate further thus leading to the formation of a large clone cell which continuous stimulation and then result in the increase in the number of B-lymphocytes which then differentiates into plasma cells that are smaller antibody-producing cells. Antibodies that are produced by each clone of plasma cells will react with their antigenic determinant and leads to the stimulation of the initial proliferation. The phagocytic cells digest the antigen-antibody complex which is formed when the antibody binds to the antigen. When plasma cells are exposed to the same antigen later then some of these plasma cells develop into memory cells.

9. It was diagnosed by a specialist that the Immune System of the body of a patient has been suppressed. Describe the infection and the mechanism of its proliferation in the body.

Ans: If the immune system of the patient has been suppressed then he is found to be suffering from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The HIV enters into the helper T- cells & undergoes replication to produce progeny viruses. The replication of virus involves: -

(i)First viral capsid enters the cell where the reverse transcriptase enzyme will copy single-stranded RNA and convert it into complementary DNA.

(ii) The ribonuclease H degrades the RNA & the DNA strand becomes double-stranded DNA after its duplication.

(iii) Integrase enzyme is responsible for a complex sequence of reactions in which the Proviral DNA is integrated into cells’ DNA.

(iv) Virus becomes active once it has infected the cell resulting in the liberation of a large number of virus particles that can infect other cells.

10. What are carcinogens? What are the different types of carcinogens? Also, mention the different methods of treatment of cancer?

(v) Routine screening may be done.

4. Discuss the role of lymphoid organs in the immune response. Explain the different types of lymphoid organs giving two examples of each type in humans.

Ans: the role of lymphoid organs in the immune response is the origin, maturation & proliferation of lymphocytes. these lymphoid organs are of two types: -

1. Primary Lymphoid Organ: - they are sensitive lymphocytes in which the immature lymphocytes differentiate into antigens. it consists of: -

(a) Bone Marrow: – it is the main lymphoid organ where all types of blood cells including lymphocytes are formed and are present in the thigh region. it helps in the development & maturation of b – cells by providing a micro-environment.

(b) Thymus: - it is located beneath the chest bone near the heart. it helps in the development & maturation of t – lymphocytes by providing a microenvironment.

2. Secondary Lymphoid Organ: - they help the lymphocytes to interact with the antigen which results in the proliferation leading to the formation of effector cells. it includes.

(a) Spleen: - it is a large bean-shaped organ that consists of lymphocytes & phagocytes. it is called the graveyard of rbcs and thus acts as a filter of blood by trapping blood–bound microorganisms.

(b) Lymph Node: - they are small – solid structures and are part of the lymphatic systems that are located at different points. its main role is to trap the antigens that try to enter into lymph & tissue fluid. these antigens will result in the activation of lymphocytes.

5. With the help of a well–labeled diagram, Describe the life cycle of malarial parasite.

Ans: Malaria is a protozoan disease caused by plasmodium vivax. It has two hosts – female anopheles which acts as the vector of plasmodium and man that acts as the primary host where the parasite maintains an amoeboid stage in RBCS & later produces gametophyte.

The life cycle of plasmodium involves the following steps: -

• In humans malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi.

• Malaria parasite life cycle in humans is of four-phase- pre-erythrocytic schizogony phase, erythrocytic schizogony phase, gametogenic phase, and exoerythrocytic schizogony phase.

• Sporozoites of malaria are present in the salivary gland of mosquitoes and transmitted to humans by mosquito bites where sporozoites are introduced into the blood.

• The development phase of malaria sporozoites takes place in the liver of humans where multiple nuclear divisions develop schizont containing numerous merozoites.

• Numerous merozoites are released and enter red blood cells by the receptor for merozoites in the glycoprotein.

• Malaria disease’s first onset appears after the incubation period of 9-14 days, where patients may not appear to be ill.

• The common symptoms of malaria disease are- fever, headache, chills, and vomiting appear for up to 10-15 days after the person is infected by the malaria parasite.

6. What do you mean by “Outbreeding”. What are the different methods employed for outbreeding?

Ans: Outbreeding is the process where the breeding between unrelated male & female animals takes place. It can be done in the following ways: -

1. Out Cross: - the outcross is the process of the mating of animals that are of the same breed but for 4-6 generations of their pedigree, they do not have any common ancestor. for those animals that have a below-average in growth rate of beef cattle, milk production, etc, it is the best method of breeding animals.

2. Cross–Breeding: - the breeding between the superior males of one breed & superior females of another breed is called cross-breeding. by this breeding technique, the desirable qualities of two different breeds can be combined which is then used for commercial production e.g., the formation of hisardale, a new breed of sheep is developed by crossing bikaneri ewes & marino rams.

3. Interspecific Hybridisation: - it is the cross where the breeding occurs in between the male & female animals of two different related species, resulting in the progeny which is a combination of desirable features of both parents e.g., the mule is produced by the cross between donkey & a female horse.

7. What is somatic hybridization – Explain the steps involved in the production of somatic hybrids?

Ans: The process of fusion of two protoplasts from the somatic cells of two different varieties or species of a plant under sterile on a suitable nutrient culture medium condition is called Somatic hybridization. For example, tomato which is produced by fusion of protoplast of tomato & potato is a somatic hybrid.

The steps involved in the production of somatic hybrids are: -

1. First the protoplasts from two different varieties of plants are isolated that are having a desirable character.

2. The cytoplasm of two protoplasts then undergoes fusion resulting in the mixing of cytoplasm. In this fusion, even after fusion of cytoplasm the nuclei of two protoplasts may or may not fuse. The fusion here requires a suitable agent called fusogenic, PEG, or polyethene glycol.

3. The hybrid protoplast produced will then synthesize a new cell wall around it under favourable conditions. This hybrid cell will act as a single cell & later undergo division that results in the formation of callus.

4. The callus which is regenerated is then transferred to a new culture plate that contains the suitable culture media. In this culture media, the callus divides and then results in the formation of roots and shoots by the process of organogenesis.

Class 12 Biology Chapter 8 Important Questions- Summary

Types of Diseases

The body of a human tends to suffer from many kinds of infections and diseases and that might be because of genetic defects or an unhealthy lifestyle. These diseases can be classified into two different categories:

1. Congenital Diseases: Presence of genetic abnormalities from the time of birth. These kinds of diseases might occur due to mutation of the gene, chromosomal aberration, or effects on the environment. In such diseases, the next generation might get affected by chromosomal and gene defect transmission. Haemophilia, Turner's disease, colour blindness, Down syndrome, etc. are some of the examples.

2. Acquired Diseases: These are the kinds of diseases that have been acquired during the lifetime of a person. The types of acquired diseases are Infectious or communicable disease, Non-communicable disease, Deficiency disease, and Allergies.

• The pathogen can be defined as the organism which is responsible for causing disease. Examples of the same may include, viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms, and others. The entry of such pathogens inside the body can occur in multiple ways.

Immunity 

Immunity is called the capacity of the body to defend and fight against any foreign body or pathogen. Our body is protected by the help and working of the immune system against any infection

Two kinds of immunity are found:

• Innate immunity: It is the kind of immunity that is present from the time of birth. In our body's defense system, there are four kinds of barriers that help in protecting the body against any infection or disease. These barriers include- Physical barriers, Physiological barriers, Cellular barriers, and Cytokine barriers.

• Acquired immunity: It is the kind of immunity that is acquired during the lifespan and is pathogen-specific. After the first contact with a pathogen, the low-intensity primary response is initiated. Later infection, due to first response memory, results in a strongly amplified secondary response or anamnestic response.

AIDS (Acquired Immuno- Deficiency Syndrome)

• AIDS is caused due to the virus, named HIV which stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

• It is a retrovirus, with its genome being RNA.

• The virus, via the enzyme reverse transcriptase, generates viral DNA in the host.

• In the host genome, the viral DNA is incorporated and multiple copies of the virus are made.

• The virus enters T-cells, where it reproduces and multiplies, causing the number of T lymphocytes to decrease significantly.

Cancer

• The main reason for cancer is uncontrolled cell division which ultimately leads to tumour development.

• There is a failure of the regulatory system in the oncogenic transformation of the normal cells.

• These Cancerous cells are observed to lack the property of contact inhibition, which prevents further cell growth when they come into contact with other types of cells.

• Benign tumours and Malignant tumours are the types of tumours observed.

Drugs and Alcohol Abuse

• The widely abused drugs may include heroin, cannabinoids, and coca alkaloids.

• Some opioid receptors exist in the CNS and GI tract, where opioid drugs are found to get bound.

• A popularly known heroin or smack, named Diacetylmorphine is derived from the latex of Papaver somniferum, a poppy plant. It is extracted by morphine acetylation.

• Cannabinoids bind to the receptors of cannabinoids which are found in the brain.

• From the top of the flower, resins, leaves, of the Cannabis sativa plant, cannabinoids, such as, marijuana, charas, hashish, ganja, and others are obtained.

• Cocaine also called coca alkaloid is derived from the plant Erythroxylum coca. 

• Cocaine functions by dealing with the transport of dopamine which is also a neurotransmitter.

• To increase their performance, muscle relaxation and decrease anxiety, sportsmen often take cannabinoids.

• For the purpose of relieving pain and inducing sedatives, morphine is used.

• As a medicine for depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, etc. are included.

• The nicotine (alkaloid) found in tobacco activates the adrenal gland to release adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones.
