Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below: A. Both A and R are true and Ris the correct explanation of A B, Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A C. Ais true but Ris false D. Both A and Ris false. 21. Assertion: Pollen mother cells (PMCs) are the first male gametophytic cells. (a) Reason: Each PMC gives rise to two pollens. 22. Assertion: Geitonogamy is genetically similar to autogamy. ta Reason: The pollen grains come from same plant. 23, Assertion: Testicular lobules are the compartments present in testes. (a hese lobules are involved in the process of fertilization : Vagina acts as copulation canal and fertilization canal. a joth insemination and fusion of gametes occur in the vagina of female. pomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction [1] In plants. Reason: Apomixis involves the production of seeds without the fusion of gametes. Page 5 of 826. Assertion: The first step in artificial hybridization is removal of anthers. a Reason: It prevents contamination of anthers. 27.

SECTION C Section-C consists of two case followed by 5 questions linked to this case 31. Read the following and answer the questions from 31(1) to 31(V) given below: Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a one flower to the stigma of a genetically different flower. It is performed with the help of an external agency which may be abiotic (e.g., wind, water) or biotic (e.g., insects, birds, bats, snails).

Il. Which of the following best describes the function of the pollen tube? fet} (a) It acts as a conduit to transport male gametes from the anther to the ovule. (b) Itacts as a conduit to transport male gametes from the stigma to the ovule. (c) It contains key nutrients that serve to nourish the newly formed zygote. (d) It digests the tissues of the stigma, style and ovary. Ul.

Read the following and answer the questions from 32(I) to 32(V) given below: Oogenesis is the process of formation of ovum in ovaries. It consists of three phase: multiplication, growth and maturation. Hormones GnRH, LH, FSH, control oogenesis.
