Question

Read the given statements and select the correct option.

i. IVF is a treatment for infertility when a woman is able to produce ovum however, problems of the fallopian tube make fertilisation difficult.
ii. Asexual reproduction is a rapid and easier method of multiplication.
iii. Unicelled organisms reproducing by binary fission are referred to as 'immortals' because actual death of the parent does not occur under normal conditions.
iv. Metamorphosis is the transformation of an adult animal to larval form.

• A. i, ii and iii
• B. i, ii, iii and iv
• C. ii and iv
• D. ii, iii, and iv

Answer 1

The correct option is A i, ii and iii

• In vitro fertilisation or IVF is an assisted reproductive technology which is done to help with infertility.
• This process involves manually combining an egg retrieved from ovaries and sperm in a lab, and then transferring the embryo to the uterus.
• Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction which is fast and easy as it doesn't involve fusion of gametes from two organisms. The parent itself multiplies to produce two identical offspring.
• During binary fission in unicellular organisms, the entire cell (organism) divides completely to form two daughter cells which later on develop into adult and the process goes on repeatedly with each division leading to immortality of the organism.
• Metamorphosis is the transformation of the larval form into an adult form.
