Birds in captivity (as in poultry farms) :
1.
lay eggs seasonally
2.
can be made to lay eggs throughout the year
3.
exhibit estrous cycles
4.
exhibit menstrual cycles
Menstrual cycles occur in:
1. all animal females
2. all female mammals
3. female monkeys, apes, and humans
4. only in human females
Which of the following is the most critical event of sexual reproduction?
| 1. | Gametogenesis | 2. | Gamete Transfer |
| 3. | Fertilization | 4. | Embryogenesis |
A plant with both male flowers and female flowers is called as:
| 1. | Unisexual | 2. | Bisexual |
| 3. | Dioecious | 4. | Monoecious |
A flower that produces only pollens is called as:
| 1. | Perfect flower | 2. | Staminode |
| 3. | Dioecious | 4. | Staminate |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. Cockroach - Unisexual animal
2. Chara - Monoecious plant
3. Marchantia - Dioecious plant
4. Sweet potato - Unisexual flower
Consider the following statements:
| I: | Meiosis never occurs in organisms that are haploid |
| II: | Gametes are haploid and the parent plant body from which they arise must be diploid |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are incorrect
4. Both I and II are correct
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
|
|
Organism |
Chromosome number in a meiocyte |
|
1. |
Ophioglossum |
630 |
|
2. |
Housefly |
12 |
|
3. |
Maize |
20 |
|
4. |
Butterfly |
380 |
In several simple plants like algae, bryophytes, and pteridophytes, water is the medium through which gamete transfer takes place. To increase the chances of fertilization, such plants:
| 1. | Produce a large number of female gametes that are non-motile |
| 2. | Produce a large number of male gametes that is several thousand times the number of female gametes produced |
| 3. | Produce a large number of female gametes that is several thousand times the number of male gametes produced |
| 4. | Do not have the capability of reproducing asexually |
A reproductive strategy that involves the development of a female (rarely a male) gamete (sex cell) without fertilization is called:
| 1. | Parthenogenesis | 2. | Parthenocarpy |
| 3. | Panmixis | 4. | Amphimixis |
