MCQ
For question two statements are given$-$one labelled Assertion and the other labelled Reason. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below.
Assertion : $Y$ chromosome causes maleness.
Reason: If the number of $X$ chromosome is more than one, femaleness dominates.
  • A
    Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • B
    Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • ✓
    Assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    Both assertion and reason are false.
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Assertion is true but reason is false.
In mammals, the presence of a $Y$ chromosome is required for the development of a male sex phenotype. ln contrast, the $Y$ chromosome plays no significant role in sex determination in Drosophila. A $Y$ chromosome is required for maleness, moreover, the presence of a single $Y$ chromosome is sufficient even in the presence of several $X$ chromosomes $\text{(e.g., XXXXY)}$

Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
A typical angiospermic ovule is a small structure attached to the placenta by means of a stalk called funicle. The body of the ovule fuses with funicle in the region called hilum. Each ovule has one or two protective envelopes called integuments. Integuments encircle the nucellus except at the tip where a small opening called the micropyle is formed. Mature ovules are classified on the basis of funiculus. It can be orthotropous, anadromous, hernitropous, campylotropous, etc.
  1. The body of the ovule consists of a mass of parenchymatous cells called:
  1. Integuments.
  2. Nucellus.
  3. Hilum.
  4. Funiculus.
  1. Refer to the given figure and select the correct statement regarding it.
  1. This type of ovule is found in cactus.
  2. The micropyle comes to lie close to the funiculus due to unilateral growth of ovule.
  3. It is most common type of ovule found in the members of Chenopodiaceae.
  4. It is half inverted ovule.
  1. Identify the parts labelled as $A, B, C$ and $D$ in the given figure and select the correct option.

  1. Mature ovules are classified on the basis of funiculus. If micropyle lie close to the funiculus, the ovule is termed as:
