ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS:
DIRECTION: Each of these questions contains an Assertion followed by Reason. Read them carefully and answer the question on the basis of following options. You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.
(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 but R is false.
(d)A is false but R is true.
- Assertion: Unisexual flowers have separate male and female Organs.
Reason: Cucumber, pumpkin and watermelon are example of unisexual flowers.
- Assertion: Condom is a safe contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy
Reason: Condom prevent transmission of infection during sexual act
- Assertion: Testes lie outside the body.
Reason: Sperms require a temperature lower than the body temperature for development.
- Assertion: Spores are unicellular bodies.
Reason: The parent body simply breaks up into smaller pieces on maturation.
- Assertion: Ovary is not an organ in the female reproductive system.
Reason: Ovary secrete female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
- Assertion: Surgical methods are most effective methods of contraception.
Reason: Surgical methods block gametes’ transport and hence prevent fertilization.
- Assertion: Fertilisation will not occur in the absence of pollination.
Reason: Pollination brings male gametes closer to the female reproductive part of the flower.
- Assertion(A) : Asexual reproduction is a primitive type of reproduction.
Reason (R) : Asexual reproduction involves only mitotic cell division.
- Assertion: Sexual reproduction involves two parents of different sexes, a male and a female
Reason: Male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote in sexual reproduction
- Assertion: In internal fertilization male and female gametes fuse inside the female body
Reason: In all fishes fertilization takes place internally
- Assertion: The size of human population is a cause for concern for many people .
Reason: An expanding population makes it harder to improve everybody’s standard of living.
- Assertion: Urethra in human male acts as urino-genital canal.
Reason: Urethra carries only urine while sperms are carried by vas deferens only.
- Assertion(A) : The offspring produced by sexual reproduction is likely to adjust better in environmental fluctuation.
Reason (R) : During the fusion of gametes there is mixing of genetic material from Two parents.
- Assertion : Ovary lies at the lower part of the stamen.
Reason: Ovary in the flower produces ovules.
- Assertion: Warts is a sexually transmitted disease.
Reason: Warts are caused by bacteria.
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS:
1 Germination starts with the rapid intake of water by the seed through its micropyle. The first visible indication of germination is the swelling of the seed with a resultant increase in weight. It is also accompanied by the softening of the seed coat. Absorption of water causes a number of physiological changes in the seed. Germinating seeds exhibit increased respiratory activity. The embryo produces enzymes which convert the food materials stored in the cotyledons into soluble form usable by the growing embryo. Once the food is made available, cell division activity starts in the growing embryo. The growth of the embryonic tissue ruptures the seed coat.
(i) Which of the following is not connected with the germination of seed.
(a) It swells
(b) The seed coat softened
(c) It exhibits photosynthesis
(d) It exhibits respiration
(ii) Which among the following are true
(i) Radicle develops into root
(ii) Radicle develops into shoot
(iii) Plumule develops into root
(iii) Plumule develops into shoot
(a) (i) and (ii)
(b) (i) and (iii)
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iv)
(iii) Which of the following is a part of seed.
(a) Embryo
(b) Radicle
(c) Plumule
(d) All of the above
(iv) The condition needed for the germination of the seed
(a) Moisture
(b) Temperature
(c) Both (A)and (b)
(d) None of the above
2 The growing size of the human population is a cause of concern for all people. The rate of birth and death in a given population will determine its size. Reproduction is the process by which organisms increase their population. The process of sexual maturation for reproduction is gradual and takes place while general body growth is still going on. Some degree of sexual maturation does not n ecessarily mean that the mind or body is ready for sexual acts or for having and bringing up children. Various contraceptive devices are being used by human beings to control the size of population.
1) What should be maintained for healthy society?
a) Rate of birth and death rate
b) Male and female sex ratio
c) Child sex ratio
d) None of these
2) Which contraceptive method changes the hormonal balance of the body?
a) Condoms
b) Diaphragms
c) Oral pills
d) Both a) and b)
3) Common sign of sexual maturation in girls is
a) Low pitch voice
b) Appearance of moustache and beard
c) Development of mammary glands
d) Broadening of shoulders
4) What are common signs of sexual maturation in boys?
a) Broadening of shoulders
b) Development of mammary glands
c) Broadening of waist
d) High pitch of voice

19) Name and explain any three methods of contraception?
