Skin- mucin barriers - prevents entry of micro organisms, pH of skin destroy the bacteria ↓ immune system
Macrophage interact and activate T- Memory cells retain memory
Mucosa - mucus coating epithelium helps in trapping microbes entering our body
helper cells by releasing cytokines

2. Physiological barriers

T helper cells stimulate killer cells
Line of defence-
Fever, pH of the body, secretions such as lysozymes
↓ 1 - skin, mucus membrane
Produce clone
2 - neutrophil, monocytes
3. Cellular barriers ↓ 3 - specific immunity by B&T lymphocytes
Phagocytic cells - pathogen enters due to which WBC count increases- engulf the foreign particles Lymphokines produced which
Eg - monocytes, neutrophil, ,macrophages accumulate WBC

Non Phagocytic cells - large granular lymphocyte cells- create pores by secretion into cell which takes water ↓

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
F) IMPLANTS
. Drugs and alcohol abuse 1) Transmitted through Hormone containing devices
1. Chlamydia - chlamydia trachomatis • Body fluids
A. Opioids Implanted under skin in fan shape ( 6 silicon capsule)
2. Gonorrhoea - Nisseria gonorrhoeae • Sexual contact
Example, morphine, heroine, et cetera
Eg Norplant - contraception for 5 years
These binds to specific receptor present in our central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract 3. Syphillis - Treponema pallidum • Use of same needles
Heroine commonly known as smack is formed by di acetylation of morphine 4. Genital warts - human papilloma virus
G) EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
This heroine is white, odourless, bitter, and is a crystalline compound 5. Genital herpes- HSV 2
Also known as morning after pills
Morphine is extracted from latex of poppy plant called papaver somniferum 6. AIDS - human immunodeficiency virus
It is taken by snorting or injection IUD’s , combine pills and mini pills are also emergency contraceptive
7. Trachomaniasis - Trichomonas vaginallis
Heroine is a depressant and slow down body function, while morphine is a sedative and a painkiller These are taken to avoid fertilisation after unprotected copulation

B. Cannabinoids BIRTH CONTROL H) STERLISATION METHOD


Cannabinoid receptors are present in brain 1. Vasectomy done in males
It is obtained from inflorescence of cannabis sativa A) NATURAL METHODS
Flower tops, leaves and raisins of cannabis plant are used in various combination to produce marijuana, vas deferens is cut and tied which do not let sperm to reach uterus. It
hashish, Charas, Ganja 1. Rhythm method couples avoid coitus during 10th day to 17th day of menstrual cycle does not impact the maleness of a male
It is taken by in elation and injection, and it affects the cardiovascular system of the body 2. Tubectomy done in females
because this time period is most fertile window of a female (ovulation occurs)
2. Coitus interruptus/ withdrawal method male withdraw his penis before insemination Fallopian tube is cut and tied which do not let sperm to reach ampulla of
C. Coca alkaloids

Attropa belladonna and datura act as hallucinogen period is upto 6 months.
B) BARRIER METHOD
Barbiturates, amphetamine, benzodiazphenes - depression and insomnia 1. Condoms worn by male during copulation. It is a rubbery latex sheath which create barrier
between speed and ova as it do not let sperms to reach cervix. It also prevent STDs. It cannot be
reused.
2. Female condoms has two rings one smaller and one bigger. One ring is placed to cover cervix so
that it can create barrier. It is made up of polyurethane. It can be reused.
3. Diaphragms tubular rubber sheath which covers cervix.
Vaults and cervical Caps are some more barrier methods used by females
C) INTRA UTERINE DEVICES
1. Inert IUD's increase phagocytoses of sperms. Inserted by doctors into the vagina of female
Eg - lippe’s loop
2. Copper releasing IUD’s these IUD's suppress the mobility of sperm and decrease the
fertilising power of sperm INFERTILITY - it is a condition where even after unprotected copulation a couple

Eg - Cu T, Cu 7, multiload 375 cannot produce offspring’s due to several reasons such as


• low sperm count
3. Hormone releasing IUD’s make the environment of uterus unsuitable for implantation and
• Unsuitable uterus environment
also make cervix hostile for sperms
• Unable to produce ova
Eg - LNG20, progestasert
• Low quality of sperm
D) ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES it can be cured by ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Progestin and estrogen containing pills are taken for 21 days which
1. In vitro fertilisation - sperm and ova get fertilised in a test tube. Also know as test tube baby.
• inhibit ovulation
Fertilisation outside the body
• Make cervical mucus thick
A) ZIFT - Zygote intra fallopian transfer - fusion of gametes takes place outside the body and then
• Alteration in endometrium of uterus
zygote (up to 8 blastomeres) is transferred into fallopian tube.
• Suppress sperm motility and secretory activity of fallopian tube
B) ET - Embryo transfer - fertilisation takes place outside the body and then the embryo is transferred
these pills are not taken during menstruation period.

Eg - Mala d, Mala n
Some pills only contain progestin known as mini pills 2. In vivo fertilisation - fertilisation takes place inside the females body

Saheli - made by CDRI Lucknow A) GIFT - Gamete intra fallopian transfer - donor egg is taken and transferred into fallopian tube
for fertilisation
• non steroidal pill
B) ICSI - Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection - sperm is transferred directly into the cytoplasm of
• Taken once a week
Genetically modified crops are the possible solution- ova for fertilisation
• Centchroman molecule present
C) AI - Artificial insemination- healthy sperms are artificially inseminated into the uterus through
• Less or rare side effects Gene cloning - direct changes to the genotype of plant
vagina. Fertilisation takes place inside the body.

A. Homologue structures.
Industrial melanism-
The structures which have similar anatomy, but they differ in their functions. This type of evolution is known
as divergent evolution.
Example arrangement of fore limbs in Whales, bats, cheetah, humans
Heart and brain of vertebrates
Thorns of Bougainville and tendril of cucurbita

B. Analogue structures.
The structures which have different anatomy, but they perform say similar function. This type of evolution is
known as convergent evolution.
Example, wings of butterfly and birds , eye of octopus and mammals, flippers of penguin and dolphins, sweet

Australian marsupials A. Lamarck’s theory of evolution.
Placental mammals It is also known as theory of inheritance of acquired characters/theory of use and disuse of organ
The French naturalist - organism undergo changes to adapt themselves to the new environment. These
changes are passed on to next generation.
For example, giraffe continuously stretched their neck for food and this change passed on to next generation
due to which the neck of giraffe became long. He said use of organs leads to strengthening of the organ and
disuse of organs leads to weakening of the organ
This story was discarded by A. Weismann- By the theory of germplasm

B. Mutation theory.
New species origin originate as a result of large discontinuous variations, which appear suddenly
Hugo de Vries observed this on wild variety of evening, Primrose
Some main features are –
1. Mutation arise from time to time among individuals of naturally breeding population.
2. Mutations are heritable and establish new forms of species.
3. Mutations are large and sudden and are totally different from fluctuating variations of Darwin, which
were small and directional.
4. Mutations may occur in any direction that is, they are directionless.

C. Darwin’s theory or Darwinism.


Darwin worked around South America and he focused on plants as well as artificial selection, there was
another person called Wallace who worked around Indonesia and both of them have similar conclusions, but
independently. Their work was inspired by Thomas Malthus on population
1. Population increase exponentially.
2. Nature keeps control over size of population.

Teeth like human but brain like ape They started using skin to protect themselves
Australopithecines probably lived in East African grasslands. lived in near east and central Asia between 1,00,000-40,000 years
Evidence shows they hunted with stone weapons but essentially ate fruit. back.
Homo habilis-
Skilful man or the tool makers Modern man
650-800cc with 1.2-1.5m height During ice age between 75,000-10,000 years ago modern Homo sapiens arose.
Bipedal locomotion Pre-historic cave art developed about 18,000 years ago.
Made tools using bones and took care of young ones
One such cave paintings by Pre-historic humans can be seen at Bhimbetka rock shelter in Raisen district
Lived in caves
of Madhya Pradesh.
This creature was called the first human-like being the hominid and was called Homo habilis.
They probably did not eat meat. Agriculture came around 10,000 years back and human settlements started.
The rest of what happened is part of human history of growth and decline of civilisations.

Factors affecting hardy Weinberg principal


1. Migration or gene flow.
2. Genetic drift.
3. Mutation.
4. Genetic recombination.
5. Natural selection.

Gene migration/gene flow


Movement of individuals from one population into another, causing gene unstable
Migration of a section of population and interbreeding between members of two population, which causes
interchange of alleles

Genetic recombination
Gamete formation - alleles present on parental chromosome, separate and form new combination
Crossing over during meiosis causes variation, which then form new combination thus recombinants are
formed causing unstable of genetic equilibrium

Genetic drift/Sewall effect/non-directional factor


It causes change in gene frequency by chance in a small population that is, there is random loss of alleles in
small population, this is known as genetic drift
1. Bottle neck effect.- genetic variability in a population decreases, example cheetah population in Africa
decreased due to hunting which causes limited genetic variability, which can also lead to extinction and
which is irreversible
2. Founders effect. - when one or few individuals disperse and become founders of a new isolated population
at some distance from their original place, leading to Alleles with special significance is known as
founders effect

Mutation
Random with respect to adaptive needs
Most are harmful or with no effect
Rate of mutation is very low
