In human male reproductive system, spermatogenesis starts at the age of puberty due to significance increase in the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the pituitary gland. The increased level of GnRH then acts on the anteriror pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of the two gonadotropins : LH and FSH. LH acts on leydig cells and stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens, which stimulates spermatogenesis. FSH acts on the sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors which help in the process of spermatogenesis.

- Restriction enzymes cut the strand of DNA a little away from the center of the palindrome sites, but between the same two bases on the opposite strands which leaves a single stranded portions at the ends and the overhanging stretches called sticky ends on each strand.
- When cut by the same restriction enzyme, the resultant DNA fragments have the same kind of ‘sticky-ends’ and, these can be joined together using DNA ligases.

Theoretically ATP yield for every oxidation cycle can be maximum upto 17, as NADH produces 3 ATP, FADH2 = 2 and end product, acetyl COA governed Citric Acid Cycle produces 12 ATP. Cumulatively in practice it comes 14 ATP for a one time full oxidation cycle and it only possible when we assume, 2.5 ATP per NADH molecule and 1.5 for each FADH2 molecule and 10 fro citric acid cycle, which seems to be irrational. But for better understanding we put this kind of assumption. However palmitate is 16 carbon containing saturated fatty acid.
So, for an even-numbered saturated fat (C2n) ("C" indicating the number of carbon atoms and noted 2n is in the subscript), n - 1 oxidations are required, and the final process yields an 1 more acetyl CoA i.e. for palmitate if 2n=16 then n=8, which required n-1 oxiation i.e 7, so there will be 7 FAD, 7 NADH and 8 acetyl COA which will produce 1.5 ATP, 2.5 ATP and 10 ATP respectively and cumulatively it will be calculated 108 where 2 ATP were used in the initial activation of fatty acid so 2 ATP will be subtracted and total number of ATP will become 106. But if you go with the thereotical yields and have larger production ATP source then values of NADH, FAD and ATP produced by the full rotation of citric acid cycle will produce 3, 2, 12 ATPs. Together ATP number will become 131 and 2 will be subtracted as required for initial activation of fatty acid so you will remain with 129 !

Pollen grains has a prominent two-layered wall. The hard outer layer called the exine is made up of sporopollenin which is one of the most resistant organic material known. It can withstand high temperatures and strong acids and alkali. No enzyme that degrades sporopollenin is so far known. Pollen grains are well-preserved as fossils because of the presence of sporopollenin.

Municipal waste-water which contains large amounts of organic matter is called sewage.
Before disposal, hence, sewage is treated in sewage treatment plants (STPs) by the heterotrophic microbes to make it less polluting.
Sewage treatment is carried out in two stages.
- Primary treatment –
- These treatment steps basically involve physical removal of large and small particles.
- Initially, floating debris is removed by sequential filtration and then the grit are removed by sedimentation.
- All solids that settle form the primary sludge, and the supernatant forms the effluent.
- The effluent from the primary settling tank is taken for secondary treatment.
- Secondary treatment or biological treatment-
- The primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks where it is constantly agitated which allows vigorous growth of useful aerobic microbes into flocs.
- Flocs are the masses of bacteria associated with fungal filaments to form mesh like structures.
- While growing, the microbes significantly reduces the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) which is the amount of oxygen required to oxidize total organic matter in the effluent.
- The BOD test measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by micro-organisms, the greater the BOD of waste water, more is its polluting potential.
- The effluent is then passed into a settling tank where the bacterial ‘flocs’ are allowed to sediment and the sediment is called activated sludge .
- A small part of the activated sludge is pumped back into the aeration tank to serve as the inoculum.
- The remaining major part of the sludge is pumped into large tanks called anaerobic sludge digesters where other kinds of bacteria grow anaerobically which digest the bacteria and the fungi in the sludge.
- During digestion, bacteria produce a mixture of gases such as methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide which form biogas .
- The effluent from the secondary treatment plant is generally released into natural water bodies like rivers and streams.

The stem is used as explants by scientists.
Under aseptic conditions, the explant is grown in a nutrient medium. The tissue proliferates to form undifferentiated mass. This mass is transferred to a medium containing growth hormones.
The technology used for crop improvement is plant breeding.
