flowering plant have developed to discourage self-pollination.
5. Outer envelope of pollen grain made of a highly resistant substance. What is the
substance? At which particular point the substance is not present?

blastocyst?

30. A pregnant human female was advised to undergo MTP. It was diagnosed by her
doctor that the foetus, she is carrying has developed from a zygote formed by an XX-
egg fertilised by Y-carrying Sper. Why was she advised to undergo MTP?

 (b) What will be the ploidy level of D cells?

32.What are the hormones which are released only during pregnancy? Mention one
function of each.

33.What are the different phases of Menstruation cycle? List and explain it in short.

34.Explain double fertilization and triple fusion in angiosperms.

35.Draw diagram of T.S of Testis and T.S of ovary.
