Q 1 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).
Q 2 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?
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
flowers.
Q 3 In oogamy, female gamete is large and non-motile but the male gamete is reverse in its
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
reach the counterpart, so it has the machinery for its reaching and delivering the
chromosomes. A lot of cytoplasm will means extra weight also. So both the sex cells have
specialized themselves for their functions.
Q
4
Name organisms that reproduce to produce genetically similar individuals. What is the type of
reproduction do they follow? Why are the individuals so similar?
A Unicellular organisms. Asexual reproduction. Because they are morphologically and
genetically
identical.
Q
5
How do gemmules and gemma cup differ from each other?
A Gemmules are the internal buds found in coelenterates and sponges.
Gemmae are the external buds found in bryophytes.
Q 6 Fill in the blanks with their correct vegetative propagules:
a) Agave ---------------
b) Hydra----------------
c) Onion-----------
d) Mint------------
A a) Bulbil b) Buds c) Bulb d) Sucker
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?

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

Q.2 The plant Yucca and moth cannot complete their life cycle without each other. Why?
A The moth deposits its eggs in locule of ovary and flower, in turn, gets pollinated by the moth.
Q.3 Give the other name of the following : pollen sacs , ovule , pollen grains ,embryo sacs.
A Micro sporangia, Mega sporangium, Microspores, Female gametophyte.
Q.4 In case of polyembryony, an embryo develops from the synergids and another from the
nucellus.
Which is haploid and which is diploid?
A Synergid embryo is haploid an nucellar embryo is diploid.

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.
