  2. In Leishmania, division of cell takes place in definite orientation.

  3. Spirogyra simply breaks into small pieces on maturation.

  4. Hydra can reproduce by simple fission.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hydra reproduces by budding.

Which of the following are reproductive parts of a flower?

  1. Calyx and corolla

  2. Sepals and petals

  3. Stamens and carpels

  4. Stamens and petals


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stamens and carpels are reproductive parts of a flower, which contain germ cells.

Which of the following is not a contraceptive method?

  1. Using copper T

  2. Blocking the fallopian tube

  3. Blocking the vas deferens

  4. Removal of uterus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Birth control pills, use of mechanical barriers and blocking of fallopian tubes or vas deferens are contraceptive methods.

Which of the following is a sexually transmitted disease?

  1. Tuberculosis

  2. Syphilis

  3. Anthrax

  4. Typhoid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bacterial infections such as gonorrhoea and syphilis, and viral infections such as warts and HIV AIDS are sexually transmitted diseases.

Why do organisms look similar?

  1. Because of their similar body designs

  2. Because of the similar functioning of their cells

  3. Because of their similar cell organelles

  4. Because of the totipotency of their cells


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Organisms look similar because their body designs are similar.

Identify the organism, which if cut into any number of pieces, can grow into a complete organism from each piece.

  1. Planaria

  2. Plasmodium

  3. Rhizopus

  4. Yeast


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Planaria can be cut into any number of pieces and each piece grows into a complete organism. This is known as regeneration.

Children resemble their parents and grandparents. Which among the following is/are responsible for carrying hereditary information from one generation to another?

  1. Proteins

  2. DNA

  3. Ribosomes

  4. Mitochondria


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell contain information for inheritance of features from parents to the next generation in the form of DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) molecules.

Sexual mode of reproduction depends on the involvement of two individuals before a new generation can be created. Which of the following is involved in this reproduction?

  1. Fission

  2. Micropropagation

  3. Spore formation

  4. Gamete formation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Two different types of gametes give rise to differences in the male and female reproductive organs and in some cases, differences in the bodies of the male and female organisms.

Which of the following correctly defines the term ‘pollination’?

  1. Shedding of pollen from anther

  2. Fusion of pollen with ovule

  3. Transfer of pollen from anther to stigma

  4. Transfer of pollen from anther to filament


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Transfer of pollen from anther to stigma is called pollination. Each pollen grain is a male haploid gametophyte, adapted to being transported to the female gametophyte, where it can effect fertilisation by producing the male gamete (or gametes, in the process of double fertilisation). 

Which among the following are the primary sex organs of human beings?

  1. Ovary/testis

  2. Uterus/seminal vesicle

  3. Breast/beard

  4. Spermatic ducts


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ovary in females and testis in males are the primary sex organs in humans.

What do you call the germ cells, which are involved in sexual reproduction?

  1. Gametes

  2. Chromosomes

  3. Zygotes

  4. Embryos


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The germ cells are called gametes. In humans, sperms are the male gametes and ovum is the female gamete.

Which among the following male reproductive parts form(s) the male gametes?

  1. Urethra

  2. Penis

  3. Testes

  4. Vas deferens


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The formation of germ cells or sperms takes place in the testes.

Where does fertilisation take place in human beings?

  1. Uterus

  2. Vagina

  3. Fallopian tube

  4. Cervix


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The sperm enters through the vaginal passage during sexual intercourse. It travels upwards and reaches the oviduct where it may encounter the egg.

When does menstrual cycle start in human females?

  1. At birth

  2. At puberty

  3. During pregnancy

  4. After pregnancy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Menstrual cycle starts at puberty in human female.

Most of the plants can be grown from their vegetative parts. What is the main advantage of vegetative propagation?

  1. It is quite easy.

  2. It is reliable.

  3. It produces genetically uniform progeny.

  4. It produces healthy, disease-resistant plants.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The main advantage of vegetative propagation is that all plants produced by this method are genetically similar enough to the parent plant to have all its characteristics.
