Q1. Which term is described: 'fusion of male and female gametes'?
- A.Fertilisation
- B.Gamete
- C.Pollination
- D.Meiosis
Answer: A. Fertilisation
What is the textbook's take? Asexual = single parent -> identical offspring (binary fission, budding, fragmentation, spores, vegetative propagation); sexual = two gametes -> zygote with variation; matching the stem's described feature against this list => the option answering the question = Fertilisation. Does that line up with one of the options? Yes - Correct. And the rest? option B) 'Gamete' is incorrect: Gamete: a haploid reproductive cell; option C) 'Pollination' fails since Pollination: transfer of pollen from anther to stigma. Pick: A) Fertilisation.
Q2. Which term is described: 'the cell formed after fertilisation'?
- A.Zygote
- B.Pollination
- C.Meiosis
- D.Germination
Answer: A. Zygote
NCERT fact (biology, chapter 'Reproduction: How Life Continues'): Asexual = single parent -> identical offspring (binary fission, budding, fragmentation, spores, vegetative propagation); sexual = two gametes -> zygote with variation; matching the stem's described feature against this list => the option answering the question = Zygote. Why option A fits - Correct. Distractor analysis: option B) 'Pollination' is wrong because Pollination: transfer of pollen from anther to stigma; option C) 'Meiosis' is wrong because Meiosis: division that forms haploid gametes. Final answer - A) Zygote.
Q3. Which term is described: 'a haploid reproductive cell'?
- A.Gamete
- B.Meiosis
- C.Germination
- D.Stamen
Answer: A. Gamete
Which principle settles this? Asexual = single parent -> identical offspring (binary fission, budding, fragmentation, spores, vegetative propagation); sexual = two gametes -> zygote with variation; matching the stem's described feature against this list => the option answering the question = Gamete. Does that line up with one of the options? Yes - Correct. And the rest? option B) 'Meiosis' is incorrect: Meiosis: division that forms haploid gametes; option C) 'Germination' is wrong because Germination: the sprouting of a seed into a seedling. Pick: A) Gamete.
