Question

Match the following:

a.Bacteria	i) Diapause
b.Bear	ii) Thick walled resting spores
c.Zooplanktons	iii) Hibernation

• A. a-ii, b-iii, c-i
• B. a-i, b-ii, c-iii
• C. a-iii, b-i, c-ii
• D. a-ii, b-i, c-iii

Answer 1

The correct option is A a-ii, b-iii, c-i

In bacteria, fungi and lower plants, various kinds of thick-walled spores are formed which help them to survive unfavourable conditions – these germinate on availability of suitable environment.

Under unfavourable conditions many zooplankton species in lakes and ponds are known to enter diapause, a stage of suspended development.

Some animals like bear undergo state of minimal activity during winters which is termed as hibernation.
