INTRODUCTION
KIPS SHORT QUESTIONS
Q: 1 What is reproduction? What is its importance?
Ans. Reproduction:
It is the mechanism that produces new generations and maintains a species.
Importance:
It is very important to the survival of a species or a population.

Q: 2 Differentiate between isomorphic & heteromorphic alternation of generations.
Ans.
Isomorphic Heteromorphic
Diploid sporophyte and haploid Diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte
gametophyte generations are generations are vegetatively dissimilar.
vegetatively similar.
Mostly occurs in green algae. This occurs in all plants.
Q: 3 What is importance of evolution of pollen tube?
Ans. Pollen tube is a tool of success for seed plants. In spermatophytes it acts as vehicle for male
gametes for their safe transport to female gamete in ovule in hostile land environment.
Q: 4 What is seed dormancy? What is its importance?
Ans. It is special condition of rest in which embryo ceases or limits its growth in seed. It
enables an embryo to survive long periods of unfavourable environmental conditions
such as water scarcity or low temperature.
Q: 5 Define parthenocarpy. How it can be induced?
Ans. Parthenocarpy:
Development of fruit without fertilization and without seed formation is called parthenocarpy.
Induction:
It is artificially induced by application of auxins.
Q: 6 What are spermatophytes?
Ans. The seed producing plants are known as spermatophytes. For example, gymnosperms and
angiosperms.

Q: 19 What is phytochrome? What are its types?


Ans. Phytochromes:
These are blue light sensitive protein pigments involved in flowering.
Types:
Phytochromes exist in two forms i.e. P660 and P730. P660 a quiescent form absorbs red
light and is converted to active P730, P730 absorbs far red light and is converted in P660.
Q: 20 What is Vernalisation?
Ans. The low temperature treatment of plants for stimulating flowering in them is called
vernalisation. The low temperature stimulus is received by the shoot apex of a mature
stem or embryo of the seed.

ovule, either from the nucellus or megaspore, develops into a functional embryo in the
absence of a male gamete.
Q: 28 What is tissue culturing?

culturing. In tissue culture technique, cambium tissue excised from plants can be
stimulated by the addition of nutrition, cytokinins and IA(a)

KIPS SHORT QUESTIONS
Q: 52 What is oestrous cycle?
Ans. It is a reproductive cycle found in all female mammals except human beings. In this
cycle, the estrogen production prepares the uterus for conception partly and follicle
develops ova. At this stage, female needs a physical stimulus of mating for ovulation.

BIRTH, TEST TUBES BABIES
KIPS SHORT QUESTIONS
Q: 63 What is lactation? Which hormones stimulate it?
Ans. Secretion or formation of milk from mammary glands is called as lactation. Prolactin
from anterior pituitary and human placental lactogen from placenta stimulate it.
Q: 64 Name the maternal hormones involved in triggering of birth.
Ans. A decrease in the production of progesterone by mother and increase in the production of
oxytocin triggers the birth.
Q: 65 What is after birth?
Ans. Within 10-45 minutes after birth, the uterus contracts, separates and expels the placenta
and fetal remains from the uterus that passes out through vagina. This is called as after
birth.
Q: 66 What is a test tube baby?
Ans. A baby developed from an egg that was fertilized outside the body (in vitro) and then
implanted in the uterus of the mother is called as test tube baby. Placenta establishes and
remaining development takes place in the body of mother leading to normal birth.
Q: 67 Name fetal hormones involved in triggering of birth.
Ans. The ACTH released from fetal pituitary stimulates the fetal adrenal gland to release
corticosteroids, which cross-placental barrier and enter the maternal blood circulation
causing a decrease in progesterone production. The reduction of progesterone level
stimulates the pituitary gland to produce oxytocin hormones. This induces labor pain.

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
KIPS SHORT QUESTIONS
Q: 77 Why in every STD eyes of neonate are affected?
Ans. In women suffering from STD’s birth canal is infected and it is possible for neonate to
become infected. The eyes of new born become infected when it passes through this
infected birth canal.
Q: 78 What are STDs. Write Names?
Ans. Sexually transmitted disease (ST(d) is a term used to describe different infections that are
transmitted through exchange of semen, blood, and other body fluids; or by direct contact with
the affected body areas of people. Sexually transmitted diseases are also called venereal diseases.
Examples: are Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Genital herpes and AIDS etc.
Q: 79 Explain one bacterial & one viral ST(d)
Ans. Syphilis:
Is caused by a bacterium spirochaete Treponema pallidum. It damages the reproductive
organs, eyes, bone joints, central nervous system, heart and skin. Source of dissemination
is sexual contact.
Genital Herpes:
It is caused by herpes simplex type 2 virus. It is most frequently transmitted by sexual
contact causing infection of the genitalia. It produces genital soreness and ulcers in the
infected areas.
Q: 80 What is AIDS?
Ans. AIDS or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is caused by HIV. It is characterized by
weakened immune system and may lead to fatal infections by other pathogens. It is one
of the sexually transmitted diseases.
Q: 81 Explain the disease gonorrhoea.
Ans. It is caused by a gram-positive bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It mainly affects the
mucous membrane of urinogenital tract. New born infants may acquire serious eye
infections if they pass through the infected birth canal. It is highly contagious sexual
disease. It is transferred through sexual contacts.
