show

(b) Only variations with parents.
(c) Both similarities and variations with parents
(d) Neither similarities nor variations
2. The correct sequence of reproductive stages seen in flowering plants is

(b) zygote, gamates, embryo, seedling
(c) seedling, embryo, zygote, gamates
(d) gamates, embryo, zygote, seedling
3. Offspring formed as a result of sexual reproduction exhibit more variations
because
(a) Sexual reproduction is a length process.
(b) Genetic material comes from two parents of the same species.
(c) Genetic material comes from two parents of different species.
(d) Genetic material comes from many parents
4. The part of the flower that forms a seed is
(a) Ovule ( b) carpel (c) ovary (d) egg cell
The following questions consist of two statements ----Assertion (A) and Reason ®.
Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for a.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

5. Assertion (A) : The offspring produced by sexual reproduction is likely to

adjust better in environmental fluctuation.
Reason (R) : During the fusion of gamates there is mixing of genetic
material from two parents.
6. Assertion (A) : Growth hormone stimulates the production of sex hormones.
Reason (R) : Gonadotropins stimulate the production of sex hormones .
7. Assertion (A) : Tstes lie in penis outside the body.
 Reason (R) : Sperms require temperature lower than the body temperature
for development.

organisms which reproduce by this method.
(ii) Differentiate between the fission of Leishmania and Plasmodium.
13.What is reproduction? Explain two advantages of sexual types of
reproduction . Describe why variations are observed in the offspring formed
by sexual reproduction.
14.Distinguish between pollination and fertilization. Mention the site and
product of fertilization in a flower.
15.Draw a neat labeled diagram of a pistil showing pollen ube growth and its
entry into the ovule.
