Question 1

Human Male germ cell is

Accepted Answer

Sperm is the correct answer because it is the male germ cell responsible for fertilization of the female ovum, leading to the development of a zygote.

Question 2

Every month ____ mature egg(s) can be released from human ovary

Accepted Answer

Typically, every month, one mature egg is released from the human ovary during the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle.

Question 3

Internal fertilization does not occur in

Accepted Answer

Internal fertilization occurs in humans, dogs, and cows, where the sperm fertilizes the egg inside the female's body. In contrast, many fish species exhibit external fertilization, where eggs and sperm are released into the water and fertilization occurs outside the body.

Question 4

Which one is not an oviparous animal?

Accepted Answer

Oviparous animals are those that lay eggs, with embryos developing outside the mother's body. Humans are not oviparous; they are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. Crows, hens, and crocodiles all lay eggs, making them oviparous.

Question 5

The transformation of the larva into an adult through drastic changes is called

Accepted Answer

Metamorphosis is the biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. This is seen in insects, amphibians, and some marine animals.

Question 6

In asexual reproduction involves _______

Accepted Answer

Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, where offspring are typically identical to the parent, as there is no exchange of genetic material with another organism.

Question 7

Dolly the famous animal was a

Accepted Answer

Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer, and she was a sheep.

Question 8

During a cell division

Accepted Answer

During cell division, the nucleus divides first through the process of mitosis or meiosis, followed by the division of the cytoplasm, known as cytokinesis. This ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct set of genetic material before the cell physically splits.

Question 9

Budding is found in

Accepted Answer

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction found in both Hydra and Yeast, where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site.
