Fortnight – 31stJuly – 11th August
COMPETENCY BASED QUESTIONS
1 A farmer wants to grow banana plants genetically similar enough to the plants already 1
available in his field. Which one of the following methods would you suggest for this
purpose?
a) Regeneration
b) Budding
c) Vegetative propagation
d) Sexual reproduction
2 Which one of the given statements is incorrect? 1
a) DNA has the complete information for a particular characteristic.
b) DNA is the molecule responsible for the inheritance of characters from parents to
offspring.
c) Change in information will produce a different protein.
d) Characteristics will remain the same even if protein changes.
3 The basic event in reproduction is 1
(a) Cell division
(b) Protein synthesis
(c) Formation of a new organism
(d) Creation of a DNA copy
4 An organism which can reproduce by budding is 1
a) Bryophyllum
b) Yeast
c) Hydra
d) both b) and c)
5 Factors responsible for the rapid spread of bread mould on slices of bread are 1
(i) Large number of spores
(ii) Availability of moisture and nutrients in bread
(iii) Presence of tubular branched hyphae
(iv) Formation of round shaped sporangia
(a) (i) and (iii)
(b) (ii) and (iv)
(c) (i) and (ii)
(d) (iii) and (iv)
6 In the list of organisms given below, the one that reproduces by the multiple fission is 1
(i) Banana
1
(ii) Dog
(iii) Yeast
(iv) Plasmodium
(a) (ii) and (iv)
(b) (i) and (iv)
(c) only (iv)
(d) (iii) and (iv)
Two statements are given: one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given
below;
a) Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of assertion.
b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of assertion.
c)A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.
7 Assertion (A): Probability of survival of an organism produced through sexual reproduction 1
is more than that of organism produced through asexual mode.
Reason (R): Variations provide advantages to individuals for survival.
8 Assertion (A): Budding, fragmentation and regeneration are all considered as types of 1
asexual reproduction.
Reason (R): They involve only one parent
SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
9 Draw labelled diagrams in proper sequence to show budding in Hydra. 2
10 What is the difference between the process of binary fission in Amoeba and Leishmania? 2
11 Write one main difference between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction. Which species is 3
likely to have comparatively better chances of survival — the one reproducing asexually or the
one reproducing sexually? Give reason to justify your answer.
12 Name the process by which an amoeba reproduces. Draw the various stages of its 3
reproduction in a proper sequence.
13 Name the mode of asexual reproduction in which organisms give rise to new organisms from 3
their body parts. Why can’t complex organisms reproduce through this means?
14 Identify the organism given below? What is this mode of asexual reproduction called? How 3
is it advantageous for the organism? (1pt)
CASE BASED QUESTION
15 Observe the picture given and answer the questions that follow- 4
2
a) Identify the plant shown here.
b) List the mode of asexual reproduction it propagates through.
c) Name the vegetative part of the plant involved in this process. Briefly explain the process.
LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
16 (i) Name and explain the two modes of asexual reproduction observed in Hydra. 5
(ii) What is vegetative propagation? List two advantages of using this technique.
