Match Column I with Column II and select the correct option using the codes given below.

Column I Column II
A. Mons pubis 1. Embryo formation
B. Antrum 2. Sperm
C. Trophoectoderm 3. Female external genitalia
D. Nebenkern 4. Graafian follicle

  1. A - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1

  2. A - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2

  3. A - 3, B - 1, C - 4, D - 2

  4. A - 1, B - 4, C - 3, D - 2
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The mons pubis is the rounded eminence, made by fatty tissue beneath the skin, lying in front of the pubic symphysis. The antrum is the portion of an ovarian follicle filled with follicular fluid. The trophectoderm is a layer of cells on the outer edge of a blastocyst. These cells provide nutrients for the developing embryo, facilitate attachment to the uterine lining and become part of the placenta. The nebenkern is a mitochondrial formation in the sperm of some insects such as Drosophila.

 So the correct option is ' A - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2 '.

Only variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism will survive in a population. 

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
All the variations do not have an equal chance of surviving in the environment in which they find themselves. The chances of surviving depend on the nature of variations. Different individual would have different kind of advantages. A bacteria that can withstand heat will survive better in a heat wave. Selection of variants by environmental factors forms the basis for revolutionary process.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The fertilization which takes place inside the female's body is called internal fertilization, hen shows internal fertilization.
The fertilization which takes outside the female's body is called external fertilization as in the case of frogs.
Sperm is the male reproductive cell or the male gamete.
Ovum is the female reproductive cell or the female gamete.
Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to the cell division at that particular site as in case of hydra.
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction used by all prokaryotes (including amoeba) where the cell divides into two nearly equal-sized daughter cells.
A zygote is a diploid cell that is formed by the fusion of male and female gamete. So, the fertilized egg is the zygote.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
