Question

Read the given statements.
(i) IVF is a treatment for infertility when a woman is able to produce ovum however, problems of the fallopian tube make fertilization difficult.
(ii) Asexual reproduction is a rapid and easier method of multiplication.
(iii) Unicellular organisms reproducing by binary fission are referred to as, immortals because actual death of the parent does not occur.
(iv) Metamorphosis is the transformation of an adult animal to larval form.
Which of the given statements are correct?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i), (ii) and (iii)

In Vitro Fertilization is a one assisted reproductive technology (ART) commonly referred to as IVF. IVF is the process of fertilization which involves manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish, and then transferring the embryo to the uterus.
Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost never involves ploidy or reduction. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis.
Prokaryotic fission, which is binary fission, is a form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by all prokaryotes (bacteria and archaebacteria) and some organelles within eukaryotic organisms (e.g., mitochondria). The organisms undergoing binary fission are called immortal as after binary fission nothing is left with the parental body so there is no natural death.

Metamorphosis is the transformation of the larval form into an adult form.
