During his observation of spermatogenesis in a few insects, Henking found that a nuclear structure was received by 50 % of the sperms. He called this structure as:
1. | X – body | 2. | Y–body |
3. | X – chromosome | 4. | Y – chromosome |
1. | XX | 2. | XY |
3. | XO | 4. | Both XX and XY |
The mechanism of sex determination in grasshoppers is:
1. | XX – XY; male heterogamety |
2. | XX – XY; female heterogamety |
3. | XX – XO; male heterogamety |
4. | XX – XO; female heterogamety |
In humans, the mechanism of sex determination is:
1. | XX – XY; male heterogamety |
2. | XX – XY; female heterogamety |
3. | XX – XO; male heterogamety |
4. | XX – XO; female heterogamety |
In birds, the mechanism of sex determination is:
1. | XX – XY; male heterogamety |
2. | ZZ – ZW; female heterogamety |
3. | XX – XO; male heterogamety |
4. | ZZ – ZW; male heterogamety |
A couple has a daughter. What is the probability that their next child will be a daughter?
1. | 0 % | 2. | 25 % |
3. | 50 % | 4. | 100 % |
Assertion (A): | It is unfortunate that in our society women are blamed for giving birth to female children and have been ostracised and ill-treated because of this false notion. |
Reason (R): | In each pregnancy, there is always 50 percent probability of either a male or a female child. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
1. | Mitosis |
2. | Meiosis |
3. | Abnormal mitosis |
4. | Male honeybees are sterile; they do not produce gametes |
