Spermatogonia undergo a series of cell divisions to produce sperms. Select the correct statements from the following:
(A) Spermatogonia always undergo meiotic cell division.
(B) Primary spermatocytes divide mitotically to produce secondary spermatocytes.
(C) Secondary spermatocytes, through their second meiotic division, produce haploid spermatids.
(D) Spermatids produce spermatozoa through mitosis.
(E) Spermatids transform into spermatozoa by spermiogenesis.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Spermatogonia divide mitotically. Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I to form secondary spermatocytes. Secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II to produce spermatids, which transform into spermatozoa by spermiogenesis.
Select the incorrect statements with reference to Rh grouping.
(A) Erythroblastosis foetalis is a condition observed having foetus with Rh- blood and mother with Rh+ blood.
(B) Rh antigen is observed on RBCs in the majority of human beings.
(C) Before blood transfusion, Rh group should also be matched.
(D) Rh incompatibility is observed when a pregnant mother is Rh- and the foetus is Rh+.
(E) Erythroblastosis foetalis can be avoided by administering anti-Rh antibodies to the mother immediately after the delivery of the second child.
Choose the answer from the options given below:
Statement A is incorrect because erythroblastosis foetalis occurs when the mother is Rh- and the foetus is Rh+. Statement E is incorrect because anti-Rh antibodies are administered immediately after the delivery of the first Rh+ child, not the second.
In a population of a grasshopper species, the chromosome number of some members is 23 and some other members possess 24 chromosomes. The 23 and 24 chromosome-bearing members in this species are ________.
Grasshoppers show the XO type of sex determination. Males possess 23 chromosomes (XO), whereas females possess 24 chromosomes (XX).
Evolution of human appears parallel to the progressive development of brain and language skills. As such, the evolution of individual species in the sequence of their appearance is:
According to NCERT, the evolutionary sequence is Ramapithecus → Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Neanderthal man → Homo sapiens.
