12. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from:
a) Ovary to ovule b) Anther to stigma c) Ovary to anther d) Stigma to ovary
Assertion and Reasoning Questions:
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.
c) A is true, R is false. d) A is false, R is true.
13. Assertion (A): Hydra reproduces by budding.
Reason (R): Budding is a type of asexual reproduction.
14. Assertion (A): Fertilization in humans is internal.
Reason (R): Fusion of gametes occurs inside the female body.
15. Assertion (A): Vegetative propagation is faster than seed germination.
Reason (R): Plants grown from vegetative parts require less time to mature.
Very short answer questions
16. What is reproduction?
17. Name two organisms that reproduce by binary fission.
18. What is fertilization?
19. Give one example of vegetative propagation.
20. What is puberty?
21. Name one STD caused by bacteria.
Read the following passage and answer the questions:
Sneha observed her garden and noticed that a rose plant she planted using a stem cutting grew
quickly, while seeds she sowed took a longer time to sprout and grow. In her biology class, she
learned that this method is called vegetative propagation and is commonly used in many plants.
She also learned that sexual reproduction involves gametes and two plants are involved.
