(i) - A sperm cell consists of a head, middle piece and whip like tail. At the anterior end of the head is a structure called acrosome. This acrosome contains a liquid which facilitate the entry of the sperm into an egg. The middle piece are involved in producing energy needed for propelling the sperm after ejaculation. The tail is for movement.
(ii) - A palisade cell contain chloroplasts which makes them a site of photosynthesis in the leaves at those plants that contain them. Converting the light to the chemical energy. Beneath the palisade mesophyll are the spongy mesophyll cells, which also perform photosynthesis. They allow the passage of gases through the intracellular spaces in them.

IN A TABULAR FORM MAMMALS AND AMPHIBIANS
MAMMALS
- Mammals give birth to their young ones alive.
- Mammals produce amniotic eggs
AMPHIBIANS
- Amphibians lay eggs
- Amphibians do not produce amniotic eggs
(1d)
- Use of condoms/pills
- withdrawal

Gene is the discrete unit of inheritance which are found in the chromosomes of all cell.

A hybrid is an offspring obtained from the cross-breeding of the species that are not closely related.
(4aiii)
Trait is the characteristic factor of an individual which are hereditary.

(i) - Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight
(6aii)
(i) - Bacteria
(ii) - methanogenic archaea

Nitrogen — 78 percent.
Oxygen — 21 percent.
Argon — 0.93 percent.
Carbon dioxide — 0.04 percent.
(6c)
(i) - They are composed of relatively few species of plants
(ii) - The salt level of the habitat is high
(iii) - High flooding rate
(iv) - extreme temperature and salinity fluctuations.
(6cii)
Roots of salt marsh plants help stabilize the sandy substrate and trap and hold nutrients and detritus that flow through with each tidal cycle. This detritus trap helps feed bacteria, algae, and invertebrates. These root tangles also provide critical refuge for small fish and other animals.
