A Correct answer
Explanation

A line joining the midpoints of opposite sides of a parallelogram is parallel to the other two sides and divides the parallelogram into two smaller parallelograms of equal area.

In a $\triangle DEF$; $A,B$ and $C$ are the mid-points of $EF,FD$ and $DE$ respectively. If the area of $\triangle DEF$ is $14.4{ cm }^{ 2 }$, then find the area of $\triangle {ABC}$.

  1. $1.75$cm
  2. $2.54$cm
  3. $3.2$cm
  4. $3.6$cm

D Correct answer
Explanation

Fact: Using mid-point theorem $\dfrac{\Delta{DEF}}{\Delta{ABC}}=4$


Here $\Delta{DEF}=14.4$ cm$^2$ is given 
Hence are of triangle $ABC $ is given by $ \dfrac{14.4}{4}=3.6$ cm$^2$

A Correct answer
Explanation

The vectors AD, BE, and CF are medians of the triangle. The sum of the vectors from the vertices to the midpoints of the opposite sides is zero.

A cross section at the midpoint of the middle piece of a human sperm will show

  1. Centriole, mitochondria and 9 +2 arrangement of microtubules.

  2. Centriole and mitochondria

  3. Mitochondria and 9+2 arrangement of microtubules.

  4. 9+2 arrangement of microtubules only.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The middle piece is the tubular structure in which mitochondria are spirally arranged and it also has the beginning part of the flagellum. The sperm tail or the flagellum is based upon unique 9+2 arrangement. This arrangement refers to the nine peripheral, symmetrically arranged microtubule doublets.
Thus, the cross-section of the middle piece of sperm will show mitochondria and 9+2 arrangement of microtubules.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C), 'Mitochondria and 9+2 arrangement of microtubules'.
