Distinguish between: Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis.
✓

Answer

SpermatogenesisOogenesis
1. Spermatogenesis takes place in testis in mature and fertile males.1. Oogenesis takes place in ovaries in mature and fertile females.
2. From one spermatogonium four haploid sperms are formed during spermatogenesis.2. From one oogonium one haploid ovum and a polar body is formed during oogenesis.
3. Spermatid developed undergoes metamorphosis in the process of spermiogenesis.3. There is no such process of metamorphosis in oogenesis.
4. Spermatid development takes place which later becomes a functional sperm.4. Ootid development does not take place during oogenesis. It develops only after fertilization.
5. Spermatogonia, primary and secondary spermatocytes and spermatid are the stages of sperms formed during spermatogenesis.5. Oogonia, primary and secondary oocytes are the stages formed during oogenesis. Ootid formation occurs only after fertilization.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
Reerna, Jai and Ankit are suffering from autoimmune diseases of adrenal cortex, joints and thyroid gland, respectively.

They are seeking proper medical help for their conditions but their condition cannot be cured completely.

  1. What do you think is the major cause of Jai's condition?
  1. Deterioration of myelin sheath around nerve cells, leading to loss of precise muscle control
  2. Destruction of heart cells, leading to weakening of entire heart wall.
  3. Destruction of beta cells, leading to undersecretion of insulin.
  4. Deposition of immune complexes of IgM, IgG and complement in joints thereby inflaming joints, destroying articular cartilage and fusing bones.
  1. How do you think Ankit's condition got diagnosed?
  1. Low level of thyroid hormone and elevated levels of TSH in Ankit's blood.
  2. Presence of antibodies against thyroid pen oxidase (TPO antibodies) in Ankit's blood.
  3. Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), reduced C-reactive protein (CRP) in Ankit.
  4. Both (a) and (b)
  1. Assertion: Immunosuppressive drugs often reduce the severity of autoimmune disorders.
Reason: Monoclonal antibodies have been successfully used in the treatment of autoimmune disease.
  1. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true, but reason is false.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
Non-native or alien species are often introduced in advertently for their economic and other uses. They often become invasive and drive away the local species. Exotic species have proved harmful to both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. For example, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was introduced in Indian waters to reduce pollution. It was clogged water bodies including wetlands at many places resulting in death of several aquatic plants and animals.
  1. Island water ecosystem are the most vulnerable due to:
  1. Small size.
  2. Small number of species.
  3. Increases reproductive capacity.
  4. Both (a) and (b).
  1. Which of the following is not an alien species?
  1. Lantana camara.
  2. Periplaneta americana.
  3. Nile Perch.
  4. Yucca moth.
  1. Second major cause of species extinction is:
  1. Habitat loss and fragmentation.
  2. Over exploitation.
  3. Alien species invasion.
  4. Co-extinction.
  1. Assertion: Eichhomia crassipes drains off oxygen from water and can be seen growing in standing water.
Reason: Eichhornia crassipes is an indigenous species of India.
  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. Both assertion and reason are false.

What could be the possible reason for the decrease in the population of species P over a number of days?
  1. Species Q is a predator of species P.
  2. Species Q is a prey species which wiped out the population of species P.
