    Practice sheet (Answer Scheme)


    Std: X Topic: 8_How do Organisms Reproduce
    Subject: Biology

    Q.no.
    Q 1. Define the following terms:
    (a) Reproduction
    (b) Vegetative reproduction in plants
    (c) Fragmentation
    (d) Tissue culture
    (e) Layering
    ans: (a) Reproduction: The process of giving birth to young ones of the same
    species is called reproduction.

    (b) Vegetative reproduction in plants: Vegetative reproduction in plants is a


    type of asexual reproduction in which a new plant grows from the
    vegetative part such as the root, the stem or the leaf of the parent plant
    and not from seeds.

    (c) Fragmentation: The breaking up of the body of a simple multicellular


    organism into two or more pieces on maturing, each of which
    subsequently grows to form a completely new organism is called
    fragmentation.

    (d) Tissue culture: The production of new plants from a small tissue (or cells)
    removed from the growing tips of a plant in a suitable growth medium
    (called culture solution) is called tissue culture.

    (e) Layering: A process in which the stem, while still attached to the mother
    plant is buried under the soil for a while, till it strikes new roots and then
    gets detached from the mother plant.
    For question numbers 2, two statements are given – one labelled Assertion (A) and
    the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the
    codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below:
    (a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of the assertion (A).
    (b) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion (A).
    (c) (A) is true but (R) is false.
    (d) (A) is false but (R) is true.

    Q 2. Assertion: Individuals produced by asexual reproduction are known as clones.


    Reason: Clones are genetically identical.
    ans: (a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of the
    assertion (A).

    Q 3. What is the full form of DNA?


    ans: Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid

    Q 4. How does reproduction help in providing stability to the population of species?


    ans: • Consistency of the DNA is maintained in order to reproduce similar kind
    of organisms with same body design for the organism to fit into a
    particular niche. Thus, reproduction is linked to the stability of the
    species.
    • It increases population size that makes us to notice the particular
    organisms from a species and thus maintains the gene pool of a species.

    Q 5. Differentiate between external and internal fertilisation.

    ans: external fertilisation internal fertilisation


    The fertilisation that takes place The fertilisation that takes place inside
    outside the female body is called the female body is called internal
    external fertilisation. fertilisation.
    Example of animals showing Example of animals showing internal
    external fertilisation: frogs, fertilisation: human, cats
    fishes
    Q 6. List two changes that takes place during puberty in human males.
    ans: • change in voice
    • change in appearance of hair appearance of pimples
    • development of the male reproductive system.
    (any two)

    Q 7. Why is DNA copying an essential part of the process of reproduction?


    ans: • DNA copying provides cellular apparatus in the daughter cells.
    • DNA copying is essential for obtaining exact body design
    • It is essential for inheritance of features from parents to offspring

    Q 8. (a) Name the parts labelled as C and D.

    ans: • C: ovary
    • D: male gamete
    (b) State the significance of pollination.
    ans: • it precedes fertilisation
    • it brings the male and female gamete closer for the process of
    fertilisation
    • Cross pollination introduces variations in plants because of the mixing of
    different genes. These variations further increase the adaptability of plants
    towards the environment or surroundings.

    Q 9. Answer question numbers (a) – (b) on the basis of your understanding of the
    following paragraph and the related studied concepts.
    In our country, ultrasound imaging (echography) is used to take images of the
    developing babies (foetus). It is considered safe for both the mother and the foetus.
    In this method, the doctor holds a probe and moves it across the abdomen of the
    mother. Ultrasound waves which are transmitted into the abdomen are reflected
    from the surface of the foetus. These reflected waves are picked up by the probe
    and relayed to a machine that produces the image of the developing baby. In some
    parts of our country, ultrasound is done illegally.

    (a) What could be the reason of performing ultrasound illegally?


    ans: Ultrasound scan is done to know the sex of the foetus which is prohibited by
    law

    (b) Can ultrasound examination of expecting mothers provide us the following


    information? Write ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
    (i) colour of the baby’s eyes
    (ii) Number of foetus present
    ans: (i) No, it cannot determine the colour of baby’s eyes.
    (ii) Yes, it can tell us if there are multiple foetus.
