CBSE Class 8 - Science - Ch-09-Reproduction in Animals(Notes and Question Answer)

Q.Draw label diagram of male and female reproductive organs in humans.
Answer: 
Q. What are different kinds of fertilization?
Answer: Fertilization which takes place inside the female body is called internal fertilization. Internal fertilization occurs in many animals including humans, cows, dogs and hens.
The fusion of a male and a female gamete takes place outside the body of the female is called external fertilization. It is very common in aquatic animals such as fish, starfish, etc.

Q. Differentiate between Viviparous and Oviparous Animals?
Answer: The animals which give birth to young ones are called viviparous animals. eg. cat ,dog, lion etc. Those animals which lay eggs are called oviparous animals.e.g. insect , fish ,frog, and reptile.

Q. What is metamorphosis?

Answer: Metamorphosis is the process of the transformation of larva into an adult through drastic change. For example pupa into adult butterfly.
Metamorphosis does not occur in viviparous animals because the young one resembles the adult at the time of birth.

Q. What do you mean by brooding?

Answer: In the hen, new individual hens [chick] develop from hen’s egg in about 3 weeks. Hen provides sufficient warmth to the egg to develop by sitting over it. This is called brooding.

Q. How does an embryo obtain nutrition for grow and develop its body parts?

Answer:  an embryo obtains nutrition for grow and develop its body parts from mother’s blood through placenta. The embryo attached to the wall of uterus by placenta.

Q. What is test-tube baby?

Answer: Oviducts of some women are blocked due to which these women are not be able to bear babies. In these type of cases IVF or in vitro fertilization is done in which freshly released egg and sperms are kept them together for a few hours.
Zygote is allowed to develop for about a week and then it placed in the mother’s uterus and the baby is born and this technique is called as test-tube babies.

Q. What is implantation?
Answer: The close attachment of the embryo with the walls of uterus is called implantation.

Q. What is placenta?
Answer:  A special tissue between the uterus wall and the embryo (foetus) that fulfils the nutritional, respiratory and excretory needs of the foetus from mother's body is called placenta.

Q. What is the function of amniotic fluid ?

Answer: The function of amniotic fluid is to protect the foetus against temperature changes and mechanical shocks.

Q. What is gestation?

Answer:  The development of the foetus inside the uterus till birth is called gestation.

Q. What is parturition?

Answer:  The birth of a fully developed foetus after the completion of gestation period is called parturition.

Q.  What are the differences between development of young ones in frogs and in humans?

Ans:  
Development in frogs
Development in humans
It takes place outside the body of the female.
It takes place inside the body of the female.
Stages in the development are egg, larva and adult.
Stages in the development are foetus, young one and adult.
The young one is different from the adult.
The young one is similar to the adult.

Q. Why does a child show some characteristics of the father and some of the mother? 

Answer: The process of fertilization is the meeting of an egg cell from the mother and a sperm cell from the father. So, the new individual inherits some characteristics from the mother and some from the father.

Q. Why do fish and frogs lay eggs in hundreds whereas a hen lays only one egg at a time?

Answer: This is because the eggs and sperms get exposed to water movement, wind and rainfall. Also, there are other animals in the pond which may feed on eggs. Thus, production of large number of eggs and sperms is necessary to ensure fertilization of at least a few of Unlike hen’s egg, frog’s egg is not covered by a shell and it is comparatively very delicate. A layer of jelly holds the eggs together and provides protection to the eggs

(c) The gamete produced by male and female is sperm and egg (Ovum) respectively.

(d) In most aquatic animal, external fertilization takes place.

(e) On reaching the uterus, the embryo attached to the wall of uterus by placenta. This is called implantation.

(f) In human fertilization of sperm and ovum takes place in the interior part of Oviduct

(g) The process of transformation of larva or tadpole into an adult through drastic changes is called metamorphosis.

(h) A hermaphrodite is a person who possesses the sexual organs of both male and female.

Q. Name the following:

(a) The organ which produces sperm

(b) The organ which produces egg

(c) The place where embryo develops in human female

(d) The organ in reproductive system which receives the sperm

(e) A muscular tissue which delivers the sperm into vagina of female

(f) Name the method of asexual reproduction in which individuals develops from the bud.

(g) Name the process of reproduction in Amoeba.
Answer:
(a) Testes      (b) Ovaries    (c) Uterus       (d) Vagina        (e) Penis         (f) Budding      (g) Binary fission

  2. Science (from Latin scientia, meaning “knowledge”) is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.In an older and closely related meaning, “science” also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
