  2. Budding

  3. Grafting

  4. Seed propagation

D Correct answer
Explanation

Clones are the result of asexual reproduction. Seed propagation involves sexual reproduction (fertilization), which introduces genetic recombination and variation, meaning the offspring are not clones.

Assertion: Clones are produced by sexual reproduction and same sexual process.

Reason: These are prepared by group of cells descended from many cells or by inbreeding of a heterozygous line

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true

D Correct answer
Explanation

Clones are asexually produced. These have same genotype and phenotype like parent.

So, the correct answer is 'If both the assertion and reason are false'

The phenomenon observed in some plants where in parts of the sexual apparatus is used for forming embryos without fertilisation is called.

  1. Parthenocarpy

  2. Apomixis

  3. Vegetative propagation

  4. Sexual reproduction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Apomixis is the term given to any phenomenon that leads to formation of embryo wherein parts of the sexual apparatus are used, but without fertilisation. Fertilisation is also absent in vegetative propagation, but parts of sexual apparatus are not involved. An example of apomixis is Citrus.

Rules of conduct that may be used to regulate our activities in relation to the biological world is called ___________.

  1. Bioethics

  2. Biowar

  3. Biopatent

  4. Biopiracy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Bioethics may be viewed as the set of standards that may be used to regulate various activities based on their effects on the biological world. This is because biotechnology has aroused social as well as political concerns, which have ranged from biotechnology being unnatural to detrimental to biodiversity.
