Practical File Syllabus as per CBSE XII
A. List of Experiments
1. Prepare a temporary mount to observe pollen germination.
2. Study the plant population density by quadrat method.
3. Study the plant population frequency by quadrat method.
4. Prepare a temporary mount of onion root tip to study mitosis.
5. Isolate DNA from available plant material such as spinach, green pea
seeds, papaya, banana etc.
B. Study and observe the following (Spotting):
1. Flowers adapted to pollination by different agencies (wind, insects,
birds).
2. Pollen germination on stigma through a permanent slide or scanning
electron micrograph.
3. Identification of stages of gamete development, i.e., T.S. of testis
and T.S. of ovary through permanent slides (from grasshopper/mice).
4. Meiosis in onion bud cell or grasshopper testis through permanent
slides.
5. T.S. of blastula through permanent slides (Mammalian).
6. Mendelian inheritance using seeds of different colour/sizes of any
plant.
7. Prepared pedigree charts of any one of the genetic traits such as
rolling of tongue, blood groups, ear lobes, widow's peak and colour
blindness.
8. Controlled pollination - emasculation, tagging and bagging.
9. Common disease causing organisms like Ascaris, Entamoeba,
Plasmodium, any fungus causing ringworm through permanent slides,
models or virtual images or specimens. Comment on symptoms of
diseases that they cause.
10. Models specimens showing symbiotic association in lichens, root
nodules of leguminous plants, and parasitic mode of nutrition shown
by Cuscuta on host.
11. Flash cards / models showing examples of homologous and
analogous organs.
