(a) Draw a diagram to show spore formation in Rhizopus.


(b) With the help of an example differentiate between the process of Budding and Fragmentation.


(c) Why is vegetative propagation practiced for growing some type of plants?


(a) Two methods of contraceptives are

•Barrier: Condoms prevent the entry of sperms into the female's body and hence prevent fertilisation.


•Surgical: The ducts, vas deferens and fallopian tube, can be severed in males and females respectively. Vasectomy prevents passage of sperm to the urethra and tubectomy prevents the passage of ova off the fallopian tube. This prevents fertilisation.


(b) Sexually transmitted bacterial infection: Syphilis and Gonorrhea, Sexually transmitted viral diseases: AIDS and Herpes


(c) Condoms offers the following advantage


•prevents unwanted pregnancies


•prevents sexually transmitted infections


OR


A.



B. Budding:



Fragmentation:



(c) . Vegetative reproduction offers the following advantages (write any one)


•To grow plants like banana and orange that have lost the capacity to bear fruits


•It involves single parent. This preserves the genetic and physical characteristics of the plants.
