REPRODUCTION
CLASS X BIOLOGY
2. Which parts / organs of the human reproductive systems perform the following functions:
(a) Site of implantation of gamete (b) Entry of sperms in female reproductive system.
4. After fertilization in a flower, mention the structures that develop into the embryo and
seed.
5. Name the causative agent of kala azar and its mode of reproduction.
a) cutting b) layering
c) budding d) grafting
(a) Potato
(c) Ginger
12. List any two contraceptive methods practiced only by women. Mention how these
methods work?
(b) List any two benefits to an organism that reproduces through spores.
14. Give functions of the following organs of the human male reproductive system.
(a) Scrotum
15. State the changes that take place in the uterus subsequent to implantation of young
embryo? How does this embryo get nourishment inside the mother’s body?
16. 14. Draw the longitudinal section of a flower and label the following parts.
17. Draw the labelled diagram of female reproductive system. Name the organ which
provides nutrition to embryo? Where is it located?
20.(a) In the male reproductive system, where is the organ that produces male germ cells
situated? Why?
b) How are the male and female germ cells produced in the human body different from each
other?
(a) Placenta has villi on embryo’s side. (b) Oral pills are hormonal preparations.
(c) Uterine linings are thick and spongy. (d) Sperms have a long tail.
22. (a) Differentiate between sexual and asexual reproduction. Identify the mode which is
more beneficial to produce variations in organisms and why?
b) What are sexually transmitted diseases? Name a sexually transmitted disease caused due to
HOTS
23. Distinguish between pollination and fertilisation. Explain why, pollination may occur
without fertilization but fertilisation will not take place without pollination?
24. “More complex organisms cannot give rise to new individuals through regeneration”.
Why?
26. Vegetative Propagation is the mode of asexual reproduction in plants. Plant parts are
detached from the parent & form a new plant. Structures which help in vegetative
propagation are called Vegetative propagules. Example: Rhizome, tuber etc. vegetative
propagation usually involves the growth and development of one or more buds present on the
old part of the plant to form a new plant.
b) Give examples where tubers and rhizomes are used for vegetative propagation.
27.
(a) Specify the events which occur in the reproductive system of a human female labelled 3
and 4.
(b) What happens:
(b) Mention the changes that take place in uterus in both the above events.
