What is Life Span? - Class 12 Biology - Reproduction in Organisms #eduvictors #class12Biology


The period from birth to the natural death of an organism represents its life span. The lifespan of an organism is not necessarily correlated with its body size, it can vary from less than one day to more than 400 years. Irrespective of the long or short lifespan of an organism, death is a certain phenomenon, i.e. no individual is immortal, except for single-celled organisms like Amoeba.

Q1. What are Transgenic crops?

Answer: Genetically modified crops that contain or express one or more useful foreign genes are called transgenic crops.


Q2. What are transgenic animals? Give an example.

Answer:  Animals manipulated with the foreign gene and have the ability to express it are transgenic animals. e.g. Rosie, a transgenic cow produced milk containing human alpha-lactalbumin.


Q3. What is BT toxin?

Answer: Bt toxin is an intracellular crystalline protein. It exists as an inactive protoxin that once ingested by an insect, gets activated, binds to the surface of midgut epithelial cells. This causes cell swelling and lysis, leading to the death of an insect.
