Question 21. The precursor of cytokinins is ______.
  1.    Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
  2.    Acetyl CoA
  3.    Isopentenyl pyrophosphate
  4.    Both A & C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both A & C
:
D
Cytokinins are artificially synthesised from adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and isopentenyl pyrophosphate.
Question 22. Identify the incorrect statement related to the formation of tracheary elements from meristematic cells.
  1.    Loss of protoplasm
  2.    Development of a very strong elastic cell wall
  3.    Increased cellulose and lignin deposition
  4.    Primary cell walls are deposited with chitin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Primary cell walls are deposited with chitin
:
D
To form tracheary elements from meristematic cell, the cells lose protoplasm and develop very strong elastic lignocellulosic secondary walls to carry water to long distances even under extreme tension. Primary cell walls are cellulosic in nature.
Question 23. Total growth per unit time is called __ growth rate.
 Discuss Question

:
Quantitative comparisons between living systems can be made in terms of growth rates. Measurement and comparison of total growth per unit time is called absolute growth rate; ABR=total growth/ time.
Question 24. Which of the following is the site of fertilisation in humans?
  1.    Uterus
  2.    Fallopian tube
  3.    Vagina
  4.    Ovary
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fallopian tube
:
B
Fertilisation is the fusion of male and female gametes. In human beings, it takes place in the fallopian tube of the female reproductive system.
Question 25. The offspring organism in case of budding is:
  1.    Of the same size as the parent organism.
  2.    Larger than the parent organism.
  3.    Smaller than the parent organism.
  4.    Within the parent organism.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Smaller than the parent organism.
:
C
Some cells split through a process called budding. The mother cells produces one or more daughter cells or buds. The daughter cell is smaller than the parent organism. E.g.- yeast. These buds or daughter cells grow outside the parent organism.
Question 26. Animals can reproduce by sexual as well as asexual modes.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Animals can reproduce both by sexual as well as asexual means. Simple animals like Hydra, reproduce asexually by the process of budding. Some animals like tapeworms can reproduce both asexually as well as sexually. Higher and more complex animals like birds and mammals can reproduce only by sexual means.
Question 27. Identify the parts labeled as A, B and C in the given figure.
Identify The Parts Labeled As A, B And C In The Given Figure...
  1.    A - Tail, B - Head, C - Middle Piece
  2.    A - Head, B - Middle Piece, C - Tail
  3.    A - Middle Piece, B - Head, C- Tail
  4.    A - Tail, B - Middle Piece, C- Head
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> A - Head, B - Middle Piece, C - Tail
:
B
The part of a sperm cell which contains the male nucleus is called the 'head' (A). The middle portion (B) is known as the 'middle piece'. It contains mitochondria which provideenergy for sperm movement. The last portion (C) is known as the 'tail'and is responsible for sperm motility.
Question 28. A Paramecium reproduces by dividing itself into two daughter cells. This process is called _____.
  1.    budding
  2.    regeneration
  3.    vegetative propagation
  4.    binary fission
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> binary fission
:
D
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction seen in unicellular organisms. In this method, first the nucleus divides followed by cytoplasmic division. This forms two daughter cells from one parent cell. Therefore, Paramecium dividing itself to form two daughter cells represents binary fission.
Question 29. Zygotes formed by internal fertilisation have better chance of survival than the ones formed by external fertilisation.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    A - Middle Piece, B - Head, C- Tail
  4.    A - Tail, B - Middle Piece, C- Head
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Ininternal fertilisation, the survival chancesof the zygote are more than external fertilisation. In external fertilisation, the male and female gametes are released into the environment (mostly in water) and fertilisation takes place outside the body of both the parents. Thus, there is a higher chance of the gametes and the zygote getting destroyed by agents like water, wind, heat andpredators.
Question 30. How many parents are involved in asexual reproduction?
  1.    Four
  2.    Two
  3.    Three
  4.    One
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> One
:
D
In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved.Asexual reproductionis a mode ofreproductionin which offspring arise from a single organismand inherit the genes of that parent only.
