SECTION-D
(In Q. No. 29 & Q. No. 30, answer any 4 questions only)
Q.29 During the rainy season which is also the breeding season of the frog, the frogs make a peculiar
sound with the help of their vocal chords known as croaking. The male frogs croak louder than
the females. The vocal sacs act as resonators. Being a cold blood
blooded
ed poikilotherm animal, the frog
 cannot withstand very cold weather and therefore, buries itself deep in the mud. During this, it
lives in a dormant life of very slow vital body activities. Whatever little energy required during
this is obtained from the fat bodies and from the stored glycogen of the liver, which had been
stored in sufficient quantity earlier. The oxygen need of the animal is met with by respiration
through the skin. In the mid-summer, when the temperature is very high, the frogs escape to the
places of concealment mud etc. temporarily but often coming out to feed themselves. However, it
is believed that during this frog takes rest and recuperates its energy. The frog is capable of
changing its body colour, though gradually, with the change in its surroundings and climatic
conditions. This capability of changing colour is known as metachrosis.
i) Croaking of frog is:
a) hunger call b) danger coal c) musical tone d) mating call for female
ii) Croaking is louder in male frogs than females because of:
a) 2 vocal sacs b) being stronger
c) being larger in size d) having larger sound box
iii) Frog aestivate during:
a) winter b) spring c) summer d) autumn
iv) How frog respires during hibernation and aestivation?
a) Through lungs only b) through moist skin only
c) through buccal cavity only d) through external gills and lungs
v) The winter sleep of frog is termed as:
a) neoteny b) aestivation c) pedogenesis d) hibernation
Q.30 The fusion of 2 gametes during sexual reproduction, each with a complete haploid set of
chromosomes result in the production of offspring. Gametes are formed from specialised diploid
cells. This type of division is called meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half
which results in the production of haploid daughter cells. This cell division ensures the
production of haploid phase in the life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms whereas
fertilization restores the diploid phase. Meiosis occurs during gametogenesis in plants and
animals. This leads to the formation of haploid gametes.
The main features of meiosis are:
• It involves 2 sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I
• and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
• Meiosis I start only after the parental chromosome have replicated to produce identical sister
chromatids at the s phase.
• Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between
them.
• At the end of meiosis II, 4 haploid cells are formed.
i) Meiosis results in:
a) production of gametes b) reduction in the number of chromosomes
c) introduction of variation d) all of the above
ii) At which stage of meiosis does the genetic constitution of gametes finally get decided?
a) Metaphase I b) Anaphase II c) metaphase II d) Anaphase I
iii) A bivalent of meiosis I consists of:
a) 2 chromatids and one centromere b) 2 chromatids and 2 centromeres
c) 4 chromatids and 2 centromeres d) 4 chromatids and 4 centromeres

iv) Identify the wrong statement about meiosis:
a) pairing of homologous chromosomes

Reason (R): The chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed both quantitatively and
qualitatively into 2 daughter cells.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
