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

Golden rice is formed from transgenic variety of oryza sativa
• Coleopterans (beetles)
because it has good qualities of B- carotene • Dipterans (flies and mosquito)
> Principle source of vitamin A
Seeds are yellow due to presence of b-carotene, therefore known as Protein encoded by cry1Ac and cry1Ab

A single stranded DNA or RNA, tagged with a radioactive molecule (probe) is allowed to hybridise to its Lymphocytes from blood of patient
complementary DNA in a clone of cells followed by detection using autoradiography.

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

C. Vestigial organs. It happened because Before after industrialisation, there was more pollution

D. Atavism

Reappearance of certain ancestral characters, which were disappeared or reduced

7. Biogenetic law that is ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
Genetic change in a population that is inherited over several generations
Example, Darwin finches
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.
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
Mutation
Random with respect to adaptive needs
Most are harmful or with no effect
Rate of mutation is very low
