Q1 Rahul observed green coloured long algal filaments in a stagnant pond, which are single layer
aggregation of vertically arranged cells. What sort of strategy can this type of cellular aggregation
adopt for multiplication?
A Fragmentation (vegetative method).
m
Q2 Both the prefixes ( Uni- and Mono- ) have the same meaning i.e. one in number. Does it mean
that uni-sexual and mono-ecious species are the same?
co
A Unisexual is used in reference to the flower (presence of either anther or carpel). Monoecious
is used in reference to the plant (morphologically one plant bearing both the sexes in their
y.
flowers.
Q3 In oogamy, female gamete is large and non-motile but the male gamete is reverse in its
da
properties. Why such type of adjustment is there in higher organisms?
A In oogamy, female gamete being larger and non motile, is an adaptation for having more food
reserves that may be required for the future development. The male gamete has to move to
to
reach the counterpart, so it has the machinery for its reaching and delivering the
es
chromosomes. A lot of cytoplasm will means extra weight also. So both the sex cells have
specialized themselves for their functions.
Q Name organisms that reproduce to produce genetically similar individuals. What is the type of
di
4 reproduction do they follow? Why are the individuals so similar?

tu
A Unicellular organisms. Asexual reproduction. Because they are morphologically and

genetically
.s
identical.
Q How do gemmules and gemma cup differ from each other?
w
5
A Gemmules are the internal buds found in coelenterates and sponges.
w
Gemmae are the external buds found in bryophytes.

Q 7 In a pond ecosystem you may find the plant with purple flowers that spread very fast to cover
the entire pond within a short span of time. How does it spread? How does it harm the aquatic
body?
Downloaded from www.studiestoday.com

A It is water hyacinth which reproduces by vegetative mean i.e. offset mean. It causes floods and
popularly known as `terror of Bengal`.
Q In turkey there is no males found. Why? How is it possible? Give term for such type of
8 reproduction.
A It is parthenogenesis. In turkey diploid egg mother cell directly developed in to a female
zygote.
Q It is found that in organisms like algae, fishes and amphibians gametes are produced in a large
9 number. Suggest a reason to support your answer.
A To enhance the chance of syngamy that occurs externally in water.
Q In algae and fungi zygote would not undergone meiosis immediately, than what is its future?
10
m
A It develops a thick wall i. e. resistant against dessication and damage and undergone resting

No.3 Human Reproduction Tinsukia Region
Q What lead to menstruation in the absence of fertilisation?

A In the absence of fertilization, corpus luteum degenerates which causes disintegration of
endometrium leading to menstrual cycle.
Q Why not all copulations lead to fertilisation and pregnancy?
A Reason: fertilisation can only occur if the ovum and sperms are carried simultaneously.
Q A mother gets infected with a virus which causes German measles during pregnancy. Is it
possible that the foetus will also get infected? How ? What are its ill-effect on the foetus?

A Yes, it is possible that the foetus gets infected. These viruses may diffuse through placenta. It
may cause malformations in the developing embryo.
Q How is the action of LH different in male and female?
A In male, LH is called ICSH (Interstitial cells stimulating hormone) which stimulates the leydig cells
of the testis to secrete testosterone. In females, LH promotes ovulation and controls the
formation of corpus luteum after ovulation.

area outside its natural range. For example;-
Parthenium, Lantana and Eicchornia are invaded the native species of India and causes
environmental damage.
Introduction of African catfish Clarias gariepinus in India for aquaculture purpose is
posing threat to many indigenous catfish.
Q2 The species diversity of plants (22%) is much less than that of animals (70%). What
could
be the explanation to how animals achieved greater diversification?

A As plants could not move away from their predators and harsh environmental conditions,
many of them have become extinct.
Animals can move away from harmful environment and their predators and survive better
and so more diversity.
Q3 Species extinction is accelerating at a fast speed mainly due to human activities. Group
such activities under four major heads and explain.
