Reproduction in Plants & Animals Questions with Solutions

5 questions4 easy1 medium

This topic covers reproduction: asexual methods such as fission, budding, fragmentation and vegetative propagation, sexual reproduction in flowering plants including pollination and fertilisation, and the human reproductive system. Questions often ask which method of reproduction an organism uses (binary fission in amoeba and budding in yeast and hydra), which agent pollinates which flower, and what each part of a flower does. Know the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination, and the role of the ovary and ovule in forming fruit and seed. Practise the reproduction questions below, written in the style of the general awareness sections of exams such as SSC, banking, railways, CUET GAT, MAH CET and CLAT. Each question comes with a detailed explanation that adds related facts, so every question helps you revise more than one point.
