1. Read the sources given and answer
any four from the questions given
below
‘A. Oviparous animals lay eggs outside
their body. As aresul, the eggs of these
animals are under continuous threat
‘rom various environmental factors. On
the other hand, in viviparous animals,
the development of the egg takes place
inside the body of the female in the
uterus. This keeps the embryo safe
from the predators. They give birth to
the young ones. The fertilisation can be
extemal or interna in oviparous animals
but is always internal in viviparous
animals.

comparatively safe from environmental
factors.

B. Higher organisms reproduce by sexual
reproduction in spite ofits complexity
because the offspring produced have
the genetic material of two parents and
show variations. These variations help
in the survival of species in diverse
‘environmental conditions. Also the
variations play an important role in
the evolution of a species. Sexual
reproduction is a complex process
but certain features are common to all
organisms. They all undergo sequentially
three important phases in life. These
are (i) juvenile phase, (i) reproductive
phase and (i) ageing leading to death
(On the other hand, organisms exhibiting
sexual reproduction do not have these
‘phases in life. The individuals formed
are genetically identical. Hence the
individuals are more susceptible to
changes in the environment.1. An\important feature of sexual

. Meiosis is a process of reduetional
division in which the amount of genetic
‘material is reduced to half, If the parent
body is diploid, the gametes are produced
by meiosis. The parent organisms have
specialised cells called meiocytes, also
called gamete mother cells that undergo
the process of meiosis, During meiosis,
these cells undergo two successive
