1. In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit genes from both parents, creating unique combinations. This increases genetic diversity and chances of adaptability to changing environments. Variations often provide survival benefits, making sexual reproduction more favorable than asexual reproduction. ThuRead more

    In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit genes from both parents, creating unique combinations. This increases genetic diversity and chances of adaptability to changing environments. Variations often provide survival benefits, making sexual reproduction more favorable than asexual reproduction. Thus, both assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. The correct option is A.

  2. A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. When the magnitude of current increases, the strength of the magnetic field also increases. This results in greater deflection of the compass needle. However, the assertion wrongly claims that deflection decreases, while the reason isRead more

    A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. When the magnitude of current increases, the strength of the magnetic field also increases. This results in greater deflection of the compass needle. However, the assertion wrongly claims that deflection decreases, while the reason is scientifically correct. Thus, the correct answer is D. Assertion is false but Reason is true.

  3. Biodegradable substances such as kitchen waste, dead plants, or paper break down naturally by microbes into simpler organic matter. This organic material turns into compost, enriching the soil. The assertion is correct, but the reason wrongly states "inorganic substances" instead of "organic substanRead more

    Biodegradable substances such as kitchen waste, dead plants, or paper break down naturally by microbes into simpler organic matter. This organic material turns into compost, enriching the soil. The assertion is correct, but the reason wrongly states “inorganic substances” instead of “organic substances.” Hence, the correct option is C. Assertion true but Reason false.

  4. When dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc granules, effervescence occurs due to the release of hydrogen gas, which can be tested by a pop sound. Additionally, zinc chloride solution is formed, different from the original reactants. The formation of new substances and energy release confirm thatRead more

    When dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc granules, effervescence occurs due to the release of hydrogen gas, which can be tested by a pop sound. Additionally, zinc chloride solution is formed, different from the original reactants. The formation of new substances and energy release confirm that a chemical change has occurred, supported by both visible gas evolution and compound formation.

  5. Post-fertilisation, the zygote formed in the ovule develops into an embryo. The ovules mature into seeds, while the ovary enlarges and transforms into a fruit, enclosing the seeds. Other floral parts like petals and sepals usually dry and fall off. This sequence of changes ensures seed protection, dRead more

    Post-fertilisation, the zygote formed in the ovule develops into an embryo. The ovules mature into seeds, while the ovary enlarges and transforms into a fruit, enclosing the seeds. Other floral parts like petals and sepals usually dry and fall off. This sequence of changes ensures seed protection, dispersal, and continuation of the plant species through fruit formation.
