Q21. Assertion(4) : Asexual reproduction is a primitive type of reproduction.

Reason (R) : Asexual reproduction involves only mitotic cell division

Q22. Assertion(A) : Spores are unicellular bodies.

Reason:The parent body simply breaks up into smaller pieces on maturation.

Q23. Assertion (A) : Clones are offspring of an organism formed by asexual reproduction.

Reason (R) : Clones have exact copies of DNA as their parent.

Q24. Assertion(A) : Colonies of yeast multiply in sugar solution

Reason (R) : Sugar is made of sucrose which provides energy for sustaining all life activities.

Q25. Assertion(A) : Pollen grains from the carpel stick to the stigma of stamen.

Reason (R) : The fertilised egg cells grow inside the ovules and become seeds.

Q26. Assertion(A):Testes lie in penis outside the body.

Reason (R) : Sperms require temperature lower than the body temperature for development.
