i. The mechanism of determining the *** of an individual is known a *** determination.
ii. In some organisms, environmental factors such as temperature determine the *** of the organism in the egg.
iv. Each human cell contains 23 pairs (46 numbers) of chromosomes, out of which 22 pairs are called autosomes, which are similar in both males and females and are responsible for the various characteristics of an individual. The last pair is that of the *** chromosomes that determine the *** of the individual. *** chromosomes in humans are of two types X and Y.
v. Females have two X chromosomes in their cells while males have one X and one Y in their cells.
vi. When the sperm containing the X chromosome fertilises the egg, then the zygote develops into a female. When the sperm containing the Y chromosome fertilises the egg, then the zygote develops into a male.

Inheritance is the acquiring of genetic characteristics or traits from parents by their offspring. In humans, both parents equally contribute to the inheritance of traits. In 1860, Gregor Mendel studied the rules of inheritance of traits. He conducted an experiment on pea plants for the same. He cultivated pea plants and observed their pattern of inheritance from one generation to the next generation. This observation resulted in the discovery of three laws of inheritance, famously known as Mendel’s laws of Inheritance. Let us have a brief discussion on the contribution of Mendel in establishing the law of inheritance of traits.

(a) For survival an individual needs energy which it obtains from life processes such as nutrition and respiration.
(b) Reproduction does not provide energy.
(c) Reproduction ensures transfer of genetic material from one generation to the next which helps in continuation of species.
Thus, reproduction does not help survive rather its an energy consuming process, however it is essential for the continuation of the species

The mirror is a convex mirror as convex mirror always forms an image which is virtual, erect and diminished, when the object is placed in front of the mirror. The Ray diagram is as follows:
Convex mirrors are used in following applications:
1. In vehicles: Convex mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles because the image obtained with the help of convex mirror is highly diminished in size and thus gives a wider field of view and helps the driver of the vehicle to view the traffic in much larger area behind the vehicle.
2. In shops: Convex mirrors are installed in shops to avoid the stealing of items by any customer or thieves. The shopkeeper can keep an eye on customer as a convex mirror forms a virtual, erect and diminished image and thus acts as shop security mirror.

The menstrual cycle is a reproductive cycle which takes place in the females of the group of primates. The menstrual cycle is divided into four phases:
(i) Menstrual phase: It extends from 1st to 4th day of the cycle. It occurs in the absence of fertilization. During this phase, bleeding occurs as the endometrium of the uterus is sloughed off. The menstrual flow consists of secretion of endometrial glands, cell debris, unfertilized ovum. After 4th day, once again the FSH secretion from the pituitary is resumed and the new follicle starts developing.
(ii) Follicular phase: When the ovary is in this phase, uterus enters in the proliferative phase. This takes place from 5th to 13th day of the cycle. During this phase new primordial follicle in the ovary develops due to the action of FSH from the pituitary. It gradually changes into Graafian follicle and production of oestrogen starts. Only one follicle develops in one cycle.Corresponding to the changes in the ovary, uterus also undergoes proliferation. Endometrial glands, stimulated by oestrogen do repair process of uterus.
(iii) Ovulatory phase: During this phase, ovulation takes place. It usually occurs on 14th day. Mature Graafian follicle ruptures due to LH secreted by pituitary. Graafian follicle bursts and releases the ovum. This ovum along with the follicular fluid is picked up by the fimbriae of infundibulum of fallopian tube. It passes through fallopian tube, where, if it happens to meet a sperm, it is fertilized. If not fertilized, the ovum degenerates.
(iv) Luteal phase: It corresponds with the secretory phase in uterus. It takes place between 15th to 28th day of the cycle.
Ovarian changes: In the ovary, corpus luteum is formed from empty Graafian follicle. Progesterone is secreted now. If ovum is fertilized, corpus luteum is retained. LH and LTH from pituitary help in the maintenance of corpus luteum. If ovum is not fertilized, corpus luteum degenerates and forms corpus albicans.
Uterine changes: Under the influence of progesterone, there is increase in the thickness of endometrium. Endometrial glands grow and become secretory. Progesterone is responsible for the maintenance of pregnancy. When fertilized ovum reaches the uterus, it is implanted and placenta is formed. Till placenta becomes functional corpus luteum keeps on producing progesterone. But when progesterone source is cut off, endometrium sloughs off and menstruation begins.

A coil with many circular close turns of insulated copper wire (like a cylinder as shown above) is a solenoid. One end of such a solenoid behaves like the north pole and the other as a south pole. Therefore magnetic field due to current in the solenoid is similar to a bar magnet. A solenoid is an essential coil of wire that is used in electromagnets, inductors, antennas, valves, etc. The application of a solenoid differs in numerous types like medical, locking systems, industrial use, the bottom line and Automotive Solenoid Applications.

The magnetic field is an abstract entity that describes the influence of magnetic forces in a region. Magnetic field lines are a visual tool used to represent magnetic fields. They describe the direction of the magnetic force on a north monopole at any given position. Because monopoles are not found to exist in nature, we also discuss alternate means to describe the field lines in the sections below. One useful analogy is the close connection between magnetic monopoles and electric charges. A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetized materials. A charge that is moving in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field.

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetized materials. A charge that is moving in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field. The definition of a magnetic field is a place in space near a magnet or an electric current where a physical field is created from a moving electric charge that creates force on another moving electric charge. An example of a magnetic field is the Earth's magnetic field. noun.

List of Properties of Magnet:
Magnets have certain important properties. They are:
- Attractive Property – Magnet attracts ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel.
- Repulsive Properties – Like magnetic poles repel each other and unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
- Directive Property – A freely suspended magnet always points in a north-south direction.

In the absence of decomposers in the environment, this breakdown will not occur and hence, the nutrients will not be released. Due to this, plants will not get sufficient nutrients. They perform a valuable service as Earth's cleanup crew. Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere. Imagine what the world would look like! More importantly, decomposers make vital nutrients available to an ecosystem's primary producers—usually plants and algae.

Vegetative Propagation
It is the mode of asexual reproduction in plants. Plant parts are detached from the parent & form a new plant. Structures which help in vegetative propagation are called Vegetative propagules. Example: Rhizome, tuber etc.
