Ball of cells-movement-specialisation is a sequence of events seen in

  1. fragmentation

  2. regeneration

  3. multiple fission

  4. sexual reproduction


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ball of cells-movement-specialisation is a sequence of events seen in regeneration. The cells of cut part of the body divide rapidly to form a ball of cells. These cells move to their proper places where they become specialised to form different types of tissues.

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) contain which of the following hormones?

  1. Estrogen

  2. Progestin

  3. Progesterone

When roots of guava plant are sown into the ground, they develop into a new plant. Which of the following processes can be attributed to this event?

  1. Artificial propagation

  2. Fragmentation

  3. Vegetative propagation

  4. Budding


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Guava roots, when sown in the soil, develop into a new plant by virtue of vegetative propagation. Guava roots possess buds from which new plants grow.

The reproductive part of flower contains

  1. androecium + corolla + calyx
