Role of Executive in Parliamentary Democracy The Executive ( the political executive) remains responsible and accountable to the Parliament. Parliament exercises political and financial control over the Executive and ensures administrative oversight over the executive. Subset of Parliament: In the parliamentary system the de facto head of the executive (Prime Minister) is not directly elected by the people, but he is the leader of the majority party in the Parliament. S/He chooses his own Cabinet which again, should be out of the Parliament only. Thus, in parliament democracy, the executive is a subset of the Legislature. The legislature is responsible for making the laws and the executive is responsible for enforcing the laws. In this case, the separation of power between the executive and legislature is not followed in a strict sense. Collective and Individual Responsibilities: The Executive is collectively responsible to the Parliament. It means that the term and tenure of the executive depends on the pleasure of the Lower House of Parliament. The House can introduce a no-confidence motion regarding the removal of the executive (government). The ministers, however, are individually responsible to the President and, ultimately, to the Council of Ministers. Administrative role: The executive's primary responsibility is to maintain internal peace and order, while also ensuring the country's safety from external aggression, encompassing all activities related to the state's well-being. The executive is also responsible for day-to-day administration. Financial role: The Executive has the authority to formulate the Budget, which is required to be presented annually to Parliament. The Executive has the freedom to determine expenditure levels, acquire funds for various purposes, and raise revenue to meet expenditures, leaving the entire financial initiative to the Government. Role of Parliament: Without the authority of Parliament, the executive, acting through its ministers, cannot raise funds through taxing, borrowing, or any other means. Money bills must originate and pass in the Lok Sabha, which has the exclusive authority to grant money in the form of taxes or loans and to sanction expenditure. Policy initiatives: The political executive, or the Council of Ministers, introduces bills in the house through its party members. The cabinet, the highest order of political executives, initiates and decides public policy concerning almost every sphere of government's activity. Further, delegated legislative functions are performed by the political and permanent executive. These are very important for policy making. Judicial role: The judicial functions are performed by the President of India with the aid and advice of his/her Council of Ministers. It includes the appointment of the judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, and the power to grant pardon, reprieve, suspension, remission, or commutation of punishment or sentence of a court. Military Functions: The President of India with the Council of Ministers in aid and advice, is also vested with military powers

Let’s break this down! I’ll give you a study guide covering asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction (in humans and plants), and Mendelian genetics — then I’ll create a test for you. ⸻ Study Guide for Asexual Reproduction, Sexual Reproduction, and Mendelian Genetics ⸻ I. Asexual Reproduction • Definition: Involves a single parent, producing offspring genetically identical to the parent (clones). • Types of Asexual Reproduction: • Binary Fission: Simple cell division (e.g., bacteria). • Budding: New organism grows from a bud on the parent (e.g., yeast, hydra). • Fragmentation/Regeneration: Organism splits, and each part grows into a new organism (e.g., starfish). • Vegetative Propagation: New plants grow from parts of the parent plant (e.g., runners in strawberries). • Parthenogenesis: Offspring develop from unfertilized eggs (e.g., some lizards, insects). • Pros and Cons: • Pros: Fast, no need for a mate, energy-efficient. • Cons: No genetic variation, susceptible to environmental changes. ⸻ II. Sexual Reproduction (Humans & Plants) Humans: • Process: • Gametes (sperm and egg) produced by meiosis. • Fertilization forms a zygote (diploid cell). • Male Reproductive System: Testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate, urethra, penis. • Female Reproductive System: Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina. • Hormonal Regulation: • Male: Testosterone (sperm production, secondary characteristics). • Female: Estrogen & progesterone (menstrual cycle, pregnancy). Plants: • Process: Alternation of generations (sporophyte & gametophyte stages). • Pollination: Transfer of pollen to stigma. • Fertilization: Sperm (from pollen) fuses with egg in ovule. • Structures: Stamen (male), carpel/pistil (female). • Seed & Fruit Development: Fertilized ovules become seeds; ovary becomes fruit. ⸻ III. Mendelian Genetics • Gregor Mendel’s Experiments: Pea plants, discovered inheritance patterns. • Key Concepts: • Genes & Alleles: Genes determine traits, alleles are gene variants. • Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles: Dominant alleles mask recessive ones. • Homozygous vs. Heterozygous: Same alleles (AA or aa) vs. different alleles (Aa). • Laws of Inheritance: • Law of Segregation: Allele pairs separate during gamete formation. • Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits sort independently. • Genetic Crosses: Punnett squares, monohybrid/dihybrid crosses. • Probability & Ratios: Phenotypic/genotypic ratios. • Non-Mendelian Inheritance: Incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, polygenic traits, sex-linked traits. ⸻ AP Biology Practice Test Total Questions: 30 (Multiple Choice) Section 1: Asexual Reproduction (6 questions) 1.
