Assertion and Reasoning based Questions

corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer
as:
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(c) Both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
9 Assertion. Exine of pollen grain is comprised of sporopollenin which is resistant to high

temperature, strong acid or alkali.
Reason. Sporopollenin is absent in the region of germ pore.
10 Assertion: Production of FSH increases, while that of LH decreases in the ovulation phase.
Reason: Due to decrease in the level of LH, ovulation (releasing of ova) takes place.

chromosome.
Reason: - Colour blindness is an example of X linked Recessive disease.
12 Assertion : DNA and histone proteins are both charged materials.

Reason : DNA is negatively charged and HISTONE proteins are positively charged

CASE BASE STUDY QUESTIONS
1In the case of co-dominance, the f-1 generation resembles both parents. A good example is
different types of red blood cells that determine ABO blood grouping in human being. ABO
blood groups are controlled by the gene I. The plasma membrane of the red blood cells has
sugar polymers that protrude from its surface and the kind of sugar is controlled by the gene.
The gene I has three alleles IA, IB and i. The alleles IA and IB produce a slightly different form of
the sugar while allele it does not produce any sugar. Because humans are diploid organisms,
each person possesses any two of the three I gene alleles. IA and IB are completely dominant
over I, in other words when IA and i are present, IA expresses. (because it does not produce any
sugar), and when IB and I are present IB expresses. But when IA and IB are present together they
both express their own types of sugars. This is because of co-dominance. Hence red blood cells
have both A and B types of sugars. Since there are three different alleles, there are six different
combinations of these three alleles that are possible, and therefore, a total of six different
genotypes of the human ABO blood types.
.
1. The ploidy level of human being is :-
a. Haploidy b. Diploidy c. Triploidy d. Not certain
2. Which of the following gene is not produce sugar

a. IA b. IB c. IAIB d. i
3. how many types of sugars are found in red blood cells :
a. A type sugar b. B type sugar
c. Both A & B type sugar d. A is rarely found and B is commonly found
4. How many alleles are responsible to determine blood group :-
a. 2 b. 3 c. 4 d. 5
2 The average duration of human pregnancy is about 9 months which is called the gestation period.
Vigorous contraction of the uterus at the end of pregnancy causes expulsion / delivery of the
foetus. This process of delivery of the foetus (childbirth) is called parturition. Parturition is induced
by a complex neuroendocrine mechanism. The signals for parturition originate from the fully
developed foetus and the placenta which induce mild uterine contractions called foetal ejection
reflex. This triggers the release of oxytocin hormone from the maternal pituitary gland. Oxytocin
acts on the uterine muscle and causes stronger uterine contractions, which in turn stimulates
further secretion of oxytocin. The stimulatory reflex between the uterine contraction and oxytocin
secretion continues resulting in stronger and stronger contractions. This leads to expulsion of the
baby out of the uterus through the birth canal – parturition. Soon after the infant is delivered, the
placenta is also expelled out of the uterus.
i. The birth of a baby is known as

a. Micturition b. Parturi tion c. Child d. Oxytocin
ii. When a fully developed baby is not naturally delivered by the mother, it could be due
to the –
a. Non-secretion of Oxytocin b. Excess secretion of Oxytocin
c. Wide birth canal d. None of the above.
iii. Soon after the infant is delivered, the placenta is also expelled out of the uterus,
because
a. The infant requires the placenta to be alive
b. After the birth, there is no role for the placenta
c. Placenta is a part of the infant
d. None of the above
iv. Oxytocin is known as the child birth hormone as well as the:

a. Urine regulating hormone b. Milk ejection hormone
c. Milk producing hormone d. None of the above
