After pollination, which process must occur for seed formation?
- Germination
- Dispersal
- Meiosis
- Fertilization
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. Fertilization
Fertilization (fusion of male and female gametes) after pollination is necessary for seed formation.

Which process produces female gametes?
- Oogenesis
- Fertilization
- Budding
- Cleavage
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Oogenesis
Oogenesis is the process by which female gametes (eggs/ova) are produced in the ovaries.

During germination shoot originates from:
- Radical
- Plumule
- Cotyledon
- Endosperm
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Plumule
The plumule is the embryonic shoot that grows into the stem and leaves during germination.

The structure responsible for producing gametes in rabbits is called:
- Ureter
- Testis/Ovary
- Kidney
- Liver
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Testis/Ovary
Testes (in males) and ovaries (in females) are the gamete-producing (gonadal) organs.
2024 Annual · 10th · Reproduction
Female reproductive part of the flower is called:
- Gynoecium
- Macrospores
- Androecium
- Microspores
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Gynoecium
The gynoecium (pistil/carpel) is the female reproductive part of a flower.

Strawberry is the example of:
- Rhizomes
- Tubers
- Runners
- Suckers
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Runners
Strawberry plants reproduce vegetatively by runners (stolons) that creep along the ground and root at nodes.

What is meant by parthenogenesis? Why is it considered a form of asexual reproduction?
Show model answer
Parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction in which a new individual develops from an unfertilized egg, without the involvement of a male gamete/sperm.
It is considered a form of asexual reproduction because only one parent (the female) contributes genetic material to the offspring — there is no fusion of male and female gametes, so the offspring are genetically identical (or nearly identical) to the parent, just as in other asexual reproduction methods.

What is reproduction? Why is it important?
Show model answer
Reproduction is the biological process by which living organisms produce new individuals (offspring) of their own kind, ensuring continuity of the species.
Importance: it ensures the survival and continuation of a species across generations (replacing organisms that die), and (in sexual reproduction) it introduces genetic variation among offspring, which is important for a population's ability to adapt and evolve in response to changing environments.
