9. Enzymes used to cut DNA at specific sites are called molecular scissors.
Example - Restriction Endonucleases are used in genetic engineering to obtain the
fragment of desired gene sequence.
10.
a. The process 1 takes place in lungs.
b. The process 2 takes place in body tissues.
c. The carbon monoxide inhaled in the lungs combines with haemoglobin present
in the blood to form carboxyhaemoglobin which is an irreversible compound.
This decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

12. Darwin's theory of evolution can be described as follows:

(i) Within any population, there is natural variation. Some individuals have more
favourable variations than others.
(ii) Even though all species produce a large number of offspring, populations
remain fairly constant naturally.
(ii) This is due to the struggle between members of the same species and
different species for food, space and mate.
(iii) The struggle for survival within populations eliminates the unfit individuals.
The fit individuals possessing the favourable variations survive and reproduce.
This is called natural selection.
(iv) The individuals having favourable variations pass on these variations to their
progeny from generation to generation.
(v) These variations when accumulated over a long period of time, lead to the
origin of a new species.
