Which of the following statements about short sight is not correct? A. The eyeball is too short B. The cornea of the eyeball is too curved C. The images fall in front of the retina D. It can be corrected by using concave lenses |
A |
| 22. |
Hypermetropia is corrected by the use of A. concave lenses B. convex lenses C. cylindrical lenses D. contact lenses |
B |
| 23. |
 The structure labelled I is the A. oviduct B. ovary C. uterus D. funnel |
A |
| 24. |
 In which of the labelled structures does implantation take place? A. I B. II C. IV D. VI |
C |
| 25. |
 Which of the following indicates the direction of the movement of a sperm A. III → II → I → IV B. VI → V → IV → I C. V → IV → I → III D. VI → IV → I → III |
B |
| 26. |
 Which of the labelled parts is responsible for the release of ripe ovum? A. VI B. III C. II D. I |
B |
| 27. |
During germination of seeds water is taken by the process of A. diffusion B. hydrolysis C. imbibition D. translocation Detailed SolutionThe presence of water is the most important factor. Without water, cells cannot carry out their necessary activities and the seed will not germinate. When a seed absorbs water, it is called Imbibition. Water enters the seed either through a tiny opening in the seed called the micropyle or through the seed coat. The micropyle is also the site at which the pollen tube enters the ovule during fertilization. |

Which of the following is not a characteristics feature of a wind dispersed fruit? A. Lightweight B. winged apparatus C. Flossy structure D. Buoyancy |
D |
| 29. |
