Assertion : There is generally monospermy in most of animals.
Reason : Vitelline membrane of ovum checks polyspermy.
Assertion : Penetration of sperm into ovum is a chemical process.
Reason : Acrosome of sperm secretes a lytic enzyme hyaluronidase which dissolves vitelline membrane of ovum.
Assertion : Cleavage is also called fractionating process.
Reason : In cleavage, number of blastomeres increases but size of blastomears decreases.
Assertion : Nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio decreases in cleavage.
Reason : During cleavage, cytoplasmic synthesis is faster than DNA synthesis.
Assertion : Implantation is the process of attachment of blastocyst on uterine endometrium.
Reason : Implantation is controlled by trophoblast and occurs by decidual cell reaction.
Assertion : Gastrular movements are morphogenetic.
Reason : During gastrulation, cells move in masses and towards definite direction.
Assertion(A): Individuals produced by asexual reproduction are genetically similar to parents.
Reason(R): Asexual reproduction involves only mitotic divisions.
1. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
3. If Assertion is a true statement but Reason is false.
4. If both Assertion and Reason are false statements.
Assertion : Amoeba shows multiple fission during unfavourable conditions.
Reason : Chances of survival are less during unfavourable conditions.
Assertion : Sexual reproduction is advantageous than asexual reproduction.
Reason : It is rapid mode of reproduction while asexual reproduction is slow mode of reproduction.
Assertion : In honey bee, life history shows natural and complete parthenogenesis.
Reason : In honey bee, both drones and workers are parthenogenetically developed.
