Answer:

 

  1. The expanded form of AIDS is Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome.

 

  1. In vegetative propagation, new plants are obtained from the parts of old plants like stems, roots and leaves, without the help of any reproductive organ.

There are two ways of vegetative propagation:

(a) Natural Vegetative Propagation and

(b) Artificial Vegetative Propagation.

 

  1. The two functions performed by ovaries in a human female are

(i) It produces female gamete called ovum.

(ii) It secretes female sex hormones—estrogen and progesterone.

 

  1. IUCD—Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device.

 

  1. HIV—Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

 

  1. The two sexually transmitted diseases are

Gonorrhoea and Syphilis.

 

  1. Sterility is caused.

 

  1. (i) Pollen grains are small, smooth and dry.

(ii) They are produced in large quantities.

(iii) They may be winged as in Pinus.

 

  1. The fusion of one male gamete with egg to form embryo and other male gamete with two polar nuclei to form endosperm is called double fertilisation.

 

  1. The growth and maintenance of spermatogenic tissue and spermatogenesis require a cooler temperature than the body temperature. This is provided by the descent of testes into scrotum.

 

  1. In honey bees, males are produced parthenogenetically from unfertilised ova and females are produced from fertilised ova.

 

  1. Fallopian tube.

 

  1. (i) Vasa efferentia.

(ii) Proliferative phase and Secretory phase.

  1. The rose stock is derived from a plant resistant to diseases and pests and is efficient in absorption of water and minerals.

 

  1. Male gamete is sr: rm and female gamete is ovum.

 

  1. The two chemical methods used by human female to prevent pregnancy are

(i) Use of oral contraceptive pills.

(ii) Use of Intra Uterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCDs).

 

  1. Stamen (male) and carpel (female).
