Pollen Germination and Bio Practicals

The document outlines the evaluation scheme and requirements for a practical exam in biology. It allocates 30 total marks distributed among one major experiment (5 marks), one minor experiment (4 marks), slide preparation (5 marks), spotting (7 marks), practical record and viva voce (4 marks), and an investigatory project and project record (5 marks). It then lists 5 experiments to choose from for the major/minor requirements and 11 topics to study and observe for the spotting portion of the exam.

A. List of Experiments

1. Prepare a temporary mount to observe pollen germination.


2. Study the plant population density by quadrat method.
3. Study the plant population frequency by quadrat method.
4. Prepare a temporary mount of onion root tip to study mitosis.
5. Isolate DNA from available plant material such as spinach, green pea seeds, papaya, etc.

B. Study and observer the following (Spotting):

1. Flowers adapted to pollination by different agencies (wind, insects, birds).


2. Pollen germination on stigma through a permanent slide or scanning electron
micrograph.
3. Identification of stages of gamete development, i.e., T.S. of testis and T.S.
of ovary throughpermanent slides (from grasshopper/mice).
4. Meiosis in onion bud cell or grasshopper testis through permanent slides.
5. T.S. of blastula through permanent slides (Mammalian).
6. Mendelian inheritance using seeds of different colour/sizes of any plant.
7. Prepared pedigree charts of any one of the genetic traits such as rolling
of tongue, bloodgroups, ear lobes, widow's peak and colour blindness.
8. Controlled pollination - emasculation, tagging andbagging.
9. Common disease causing organisms like Ascaris, Entamoeba,
Plasmodium, any funguscausing ringworm through permanent slides,
models or virtual images or specimens. Comment on symptoms of
diseases that they cause.
10. Models specimen showing symbolic association in root modules of
leguminous plants,Cuscuta on host, lichens.
11. Flash cards models showing examples of homologous and analogous organs.
