    How do Organisms Reproduce

    5 Marks Questions

    1. Describe triples fusion in plants? Where does it occur? Draw a neat and clean well
    labeled diagram to support your answer.

    Ans. After pollination, the pollen grains germinate n the stigma by producting pollen tube.
    This pollen tube is formed from inner wall of the pollen grain. It penetrates the stigma and
    passes through the style and enters the ovule through an opening called male gamete it
    releases two male gametes in the embryo sac. One male gamete fuses with egg cells and
    second fuses with two polar nuclei. The fusion of one male gamete with the egg cells is called
    syngamy. The fusion of second male gamete with two polar nuclei is called triple fusion. This
    process occurs in ovary.

    2. Draw a well labeled diagram of female reproductive system and mention its parts.

    Ans. a) A pair of ovaries – ovaries produces ova and female sex hormone. One egg is
    produced every month by one of the ovaries. Ova are picked up by the funnel shaped
    fallopian tubes.

    b) Fallopian tubes – There are two fallopian tubes. It carries ova from ovary to the uterus.
    Fertilization occurs in fallopian tubes.

    c) Uterus – Pear shaped hollow muscular organ. Fertilized ovum remains attached to the
    uterus wall.

    d) Vagina – It is a narrow muscular tube. Its upper end is connected to the cervix of the
    uterus and lower end opens outside through an opening. It is a place for copulation.

    3. Draw a well labeled diagram of male reproductive system and describe its parts.

    Ans. a) A pair of testes – Each testis produces sperms and male sex hormone called
    testosterone. Testes are present in small pouch called scrotum.

    b) Epididymis – It is a long coiled tube. The head is connected with testis and tail is connected
    with vas deferens

    c) Vas deferens – It is a long tube which begins from the tail of epididymis

    Urethra – It receives the vas deferens from both the testes. It opens outside through penis. It
    carries both sperms and urine.

    4. Differentiate between asexual and sexual reproduction.

    Ans.

    Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction


    Only one parent is involved Two parents are involved
    Offspring resembles exactly with the Organisms do not resemble exactly, but certain
    parent features of both the parents
    Cell divides mitotically Mitosis and meiosis both divisions are involved.
    Gametes are not produced Gametes are produced
    Not fertilization Fetilisation of gametes
    Organisms produced have less
    Organism produced has more adaptability
    adoptability
    Variations are absent Variations are present

    5. What is the need of population control?

    Ans. Overpopulation leads to a number of problems like –

    a) Unemployment – More number of people means more jobs and if sufficient numbers of
    jobs are not available, it leads to unemployment.

    b) Poverty – If there are more persons and the income is less, it becomes poorer with the
    addition of every child.

    c) Food supply – If the population increases and the food production does not increase; this

    will lead to shortage of food supply.

    d) Hygienic condition – more people in small area generally make the condition unhygienic
