-
flower once and die
-
bear only one flower

all of the above.
Monocarpic plants are those that flowers once during their Iife time, set seeds and then die, e.g.,bamboos.
Read the following statements about the reproductive cycles in mammals and select the correct ones.
(i) Oestrous cycle occurs in primate mammals.
(ii) In species with oestrous cycle, females are generally sexually active during oestrous phase.
(iii) Both the cycles show monthly recurrence.
-
(i) and (ii)
-
(ii) and (iii)
-
(ii) only
-
(i), (ii) and (iii)
Oestrous cycle occur in non-primates such as cows, dogs, etc. Menstrual cycle occurs in primates only. Menstrual cycle shows monthly recurrence but oestrous cycle does not.
Oestrous cycle is reported in
-
Cows and sheep
-
Humans and monkeys
-
Chimpanzees and gorillas
-
None of these
The word estrus means
-
Heat
-
Blood
-
Hormone
-
None of the above
The reproductive cycle of the non-primate females is called oestrous cycle. For example, in rats, horse etc. It can be divided into four phases proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus. The word estrus means heat. It is a sign of sexual receptivity and fertility.
Monoestrous and diestrous can be differentiated by
-
Breeding cycle
-
Reproductive cycle
-
Ornithine cycle
-
None of the above
On the basis number of estrous cycle (breeding cycle), females of some species can be monoestrous and diestrous. Monoestrous animals are those in which only one estrous cycle can be seen in a year. For example, dogs, fox etc. Whereas, diestrous animals are those in which two estrous cycles are seen in a year. For example, horse, goats etc. So, the correct option is A.
Which of the following is known as "period of heat"?
-
Metestrus
-
Proestrus
-
Estrus
-
None of the above
The reproductive cycle of the non primate females is called estrous cycle. For example, in rats, horse etc. It can be divided into four phases proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus. Proestrus stage is the building up phase. The ovarian follicle becomes large and secretes estrogen which is necessary for the preparation of estrus and pregnancy. Estrus is the phase when ovulation takes place. It is also known as the period of heat and female is sexually receptive. Metestrus is the phase where corpus luteum forms under the influence of decreased estrogen and increased progesterone level. Diestrus is the phase where corpus luteum becomes functional and the progesterone level increases. So, the correct option is C.
The second half of the estrus cycle is controlled by
-
Progesterone
-
Estrogen
-
Testosterone
-
Both A and B

Estrous cycle is a reproductive cycle of females of non-primate vertebrates. The gap between two estrus periods is known as estrous cycle. The females are highly receptive during estrus period. It is an indication of breeding period because one or more periods of estrus may occur during the breeding season of a species. Polyoestrus are the animals which ovulates more than once in each breeding season. For example, rabbit. Cats are polyestrous but experience a seasonal anestrus in autumn and late winter. Horses are seasonal polyestrous. Humans have menstrual cycle they lack estrous cycle.
Nonprimate mammals have
-
Menstrual cycle
-
Oestrus cycle
-
Breeding seasons
-
Non breeding seasons
