Sample questions on Reproduction in Organisms with answers
8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.
Question 2: Life Span and Reproductive Events
Human females show the menstrual cycle, but most other mammals show the:
- A diurnal cycle
- B metamorphic cycle
- C oestrous cycle
- D lunar cycle
Answer: C. oestrous cycle
Why: In the oestrous cycle the endometrium is reabsorbed, not shed, and the female is receptive only during oestrus.
Question 3: Sexual Reproduction and Its Phases
The pre-fertilisation stage of sexual reproduction includes the process of:
- A embryogenesis
- B gametogenesis
- C parturition
- D zygote formation
Answer: B. gametogenesis
Why: Gametogenesis, the formation of male and female gametes, occurs in the pre-fertilisation phase, before the gametes fuse to form a zygote.
Question 4: Asexual Reproduction
Budding as a mode of asexual reproduction, in which a small outgrowth develops and eventually detaches to form a new individual, is characteristic of:
- A Amoeba
- B Hydra
- C Paramecium
- D Planaria
Answer: B. Hydra
Why: In Hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth on the parent body, develops its own tentacles and mouth, and eventually detaches as an independent individual.
Question 5: Life Span and Reproductive Events
The seasonal breeders are the animals that:
- A never reproduce
- B reproduce once in life
- C reproduce throughout the year
- D reproduce only during favourable seasons
Answer: D. reproduce only during favourable seasons
Why: The continuous breeders are active throughout the reproductive phase.
Question 6: Sexual Reproduction and Its Phases
The juvenile phase in animals is followed by:
- A the embryonic phase
- B the reproductive phase
- C the senescent phase directly
- D the death
Answer: B. the reproductive phase
Why: It is also known as the vegetative phase in plants.
Question 7: Asexual Reproduction
Zoospores are produced by:
- A Yeast
- B Penicillium
- C Hydra
- D Chlamydomonas
Answer: D. Chlamydomonas
Why: Conidia are produced by Penicillium.
Question 8: Life Span and Reproductive Events
In the non-primate mammals such as cows, sheep, rats, deers and dogs, the cyclical changes during the reproduction are called:
- A the menstrual cycle
- B a seasonal cycle
- C the oestrus cycle
- D a lunar cycle
Answer: C. the oestrus cycle
Why: The primates such as monkeys, apes and humans show the menstrual cycle.
