Biology Questions

Cytoplasm does not contains all the organelles.

Mitochondria is the Organelle in which Cellular Respiration Occur.

Sexual reproduction results in gametes that combine two cells from different individuals. Meiosis also produces gametes. Haploids contain one set of chromosomes in each of their cells. Diploids cells contain two chromosome sets. For plants, haploid and diploid cells divide via mitosis. The plants’ haploid phase is called the gametophyte, and the diploid phase is called the sporophyte.

Sporophytes are diploid plants that use meiosis to produce spores. These spores are haploid cells that grow into haploid gametophytes. Megaspores grow into female gametophytes, and microspores grow into male gametophytes.

Gametophytes are haploid plants that use mitosis to make haploid gametes. These gametes are female in the form of an ovum (egg) or male in the form of sperm.

Genes : The DNA is the genetic material. The DNA is made of several nucleotides. A nucleotide means, one nitrogenous base one sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. These nucleotides occur in sequences and several nucleotides form one Gene ( a functional mgene is called a cistron)

A cell undergo meiosis, and it produces 4 haploid cells from a single diploid cell.

Hence, the given statement is true.

Plants grow in size both in height and in girth. Enlargement of cells already present cannnot contribute much to the growth. Only addition of more and more cells could increase the size of the plant considerably.

In the above given options, Retrovirus is the only virus which is not associated with cancer. Here the viruses which are associated with different types of cancer. They are:

Hepatitis virus which is associated with Liver cancer

Papillomavirus which is associated with Cervical cancer

Epstein-Barr virus which is associated with Burkitt's lymphoma.

Polygenic inheritance involves the determination of a particular phenotypic characteristic by many genes, called polygenes(group of genes influencing a quantitative characteristic), each having a small effect individually.

Height and skin colour in humans are examples of Polygenic characters.
