solvent. 1
B. Given Data:
C. Concept:
A. Mole fraction
B. Molality
D. Mathematical Calculation:
A. Moles of solute: Assume we have 1 mole of solution. Then, moles of solute = xsolute ×
total moles = 0.2 × 1 = 0.2 moles.
C. Mass of solvent: The solvent is water. The molar mass of water is approximately 18
g/mol. Mass of water = moles of water × molar mass of water = 0.8 moles × 18 g/mol =
14.4 g = 0.0144 kg.
D. Molality: Molality (m) = moles of solute / mass of solvent (in kg) = 0.2 moles / 0.0144 kg
≈ 13.88 mol/kg
E. Final Answer:
The molality of the solution is approximately 13.88 m. So, option 1 is correct.

Empirical formula = SO2
48) Concepts:
• Empirical Formula:
• Percentage Composition:
• Molar Mass:
Formula:
• Mass = Mass/ Molar Mass
Solution:
1. Calculate the percentage of oxygen (O):
° Total percentage = 100%
° %O = 100% - (%C + %H)
° %O = 100% - (38.71% + 9.67%)
° %O = 100% - 48.38 %
° %O = 51.62%
2. Assume a 100g sample:
° This means the percentages are numerically equal to the masses in grams.
° Mass of C = 38.71 g
° Mass of H = 9.67 g
° Mass of O = 51.62 g
3. Calculate moles of each element:
° Moles of C = 38.71 g/ 12.01 g/mol = 3.223 mol
° Moles of H = 9.67 g/1.008 g/mol = 9.693 mol
° Moles of O = 51.62 g/ 16.00 g/mol = 3.226 mol
4. Find the simplest mole ratio:
° Divide each mole value by the smallest mole value (3.223 mol):
• C: 3.223/3.223 = 1
• H 9.593/3.223 = 2.976 3
• O: 3.226/3.223 = 1.001 1

61) Explaining the Question – Arrange the following events of meiosis in ascending order of
their occurrence and select the correct option.
Concept – This Question is based on Meiosis – Prophase-|
Solution –
A. 1. E. Formation of bivalent:
Homologous chromosomes pair up.
D. 4. C. Terminalization of chiasmata:
Chiasmata move to the ends of chromosomes.
F. 6. B. Centromere division:
Sister chromatids separate.
64) In S-phase DNA Content become double (2C to 4C) but chromosome number remains same
(2n to 2n), chromosome number becomes double in anaphase of M-phase.
65)
Anaphase I

In plant cell, cytokinesis is from centre towards periphery and called centrifugal.
78) Replication of DNA takes place in S-phase of interphase G0 stage is result of cell exiting
from G1 phase.
79)
80)
Twice the number of chromosomes and four times the amount of DNA
81)
3rd statements is incorrect, because meiosis involves pairing homologous chromosomes and
recombination of homologous chromosomes.
82) Interphase
In cell cycle, changes of Interphase are not visible under microscope.
83) Amitosis
Amitosis is the characteristic of cartilage cells, mega nucleus of Paramecium and foetal
membranes.
84) The cell cycle consist of a long interphase and a short M–phase (correct statement)
87)
89) Metaphase–I
During metaphase–I, bivalents arrange on equator.
90) Meiosis–I is reductional division. Hence if the mother cell has 8 chromosomes, after
meiosos–I the progeny cells will have 4 chromosomes or 8 chromatids.
91) Each microspore mother cell or pollen mother cell (PMC) on reduction (meiosis) gives rise
to 4 pollen grains. So, 63 meiotic divisions are required to produce 250 pollen grains in an
angiosperm.
93)
94)
Chromosomes are maximally condensed and aligned at the metaphase plate, making their
structure most distinct under a microscope.
95)
a – iii, b – i, c – ii
96)
97)
Anaphase, Anaphase II
98)
As the cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area, reducing efficiency in
exchange and forcing the cell to divide.

101)
A tetrad consists of two homologous chromosomes, each with two chromatids, while a dyad
consists of a single chromosome with two chromatids.
102)
Continuous spindle fibres extend from one pole to the other without attaching to
chromosomes, while discontinuous fibres run from pole to centromere, connecting to
kinetochores of chromosomes.
103)
Phragmoplast is formed by spindle microtubules and ER, guiding Golgi-derived vesicles to the
equator where they fuse to form the cell plate, marking the beginning of cytokinesis.
104)
106) A combination of interzonal fibers pushing and chromosomal fibers pulling moves
chromosomes to opposite poles
114) Explanation: Tautonyms like Rattus rattus are valid in zoology but not valid in plant
nomenclature (ICBN).
115) Explanation: The correct format uses italics (or underlining), with Genus capitalized,
epithet lowercase, and author’s name in short, non-italic.
117) Explanation: Sporic meiosis is characteristic of higher plants, where both diploid and
haploid stages exist.
118) Explanation: The random alignment of homologous pairs at metaphase I allows each
gamete a 50% chance to inherit either a maternal or paternal chromosome.
119) Explanation: Both processes increase the total number of genetically unique gametes,
thereby enhancing variation.
120) Explanation: The absence of spindle fibers and chromosomal condensation, along with a
short division time, strongly indicates amitosis.
