All of the diseases like AIDS, Gonorrhoea, hepatitis- B, chlamydiosis, and syphilis are sexually transmitted diseases. While cholera, malaria, hemophilia are water-borne, parasitic and Mendelian disorders respectively.

Hepatitis B or HBV can cause yellowing of skin & eyes, jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain & in severe cases, liver failure. 

There are different forms of pest control methods for the elimination of the insects and pests. If a farmer introduces the organisms or pests which can act on the other harmful pests, known as the biological control method. This method involves the use of living organisms for the eradication of the insects in the farm which destroy the crops. The lizards feed on the insects and protect the crops. 

Chlamydiosis or Chlamydia infection is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease and affects the human genital organs. This is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Gonorrhea or gonococcal urethritis, is a sexually transmitted infection found in men and is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae and this infection do not show much difference from that caused by Chlamydia trachomatis in men. 

The movement of pollen tube towards embryosac though style is chemotactic as it secrets pectinases and other hydrolytic enzymes to create a passage for its entry into style .

12, 36, 24; because pollen grains are haploid while endosperm has triploid chromosome number and integument is diploid in nature.

In porogamy, filiform apparatus of synergids secretes, some chemotropically active sunstances, which direct the pollen tube towards micropyle of ovule.

The pollen grain wall consists of an outer exine (sporopollenin) and an inner intine. The intine is composed of pecto-cellulose.

This type of tapetum can be seen easily in Alisma, Butomus, Tradescantia, and Typha, etc. The tapetal cells fuse among themselves for forming a tapetal plasmodium. The protoplast of the fused tapetal cells then moves into the locule, where they surround the pollen mother cells or pollen grains. This protoplast movement into the locule is taking place during meiotic prophase. 

Thus the correct answer is option D.

The pollen wall actually is the multi-layered structure that includes an intine, which is composed mainly of polysaccharide, and an exine, which consists mainly of sporopollenin. The exine can be further divided into the sexine and nexine. Sexine is the single layer of bacula which is covered by a layer of the tectum.

So the correct answer is C.
