Question Discussion & Solution

Explanation:

Trend in metallic property:

• As we move along a period from left to right, the metallic character decreases. The elements which are at the extreme left of the periodic table are most metallic in nature and the elements at the right side of the periodic table are non-metals in nature.
• As we go down the group, the metallic character increases and the non-metallic character decreases.
• So, metals at the extreme left and bottom of the periodic table are most metallic in nature.

Reactivity:

• As the metallic character increases, the Ionisation potential decreases and the reactivity of the elements also increases.
• The most reactive metal is thus Cs (Cesium), situated at the bottom left corner of the periodic table.

​

Hence, the most active metal known is Cesium.

• Francium is the element present at the bottom of the periodic table, but it is a lab-made element, and not naturally occurring, which makes Cs as the most reactive element. 

The relation among given numbers is that every number is the sum of the squares of the digits of the previous number:

936 → 9² + 3² + 6² = 81 + 9 + 36 = 126

126 → 1² + 2² + 6² = 1 + 4 + 36 = 41

41 → 4² + 1² = 16 + 1 = 17

17 → 1² + 7² = 1 + 49 = 50

50 → 5² + 0² = 25

25 → 2² + 5² = 4 + 25 = 29

Compile : Assemble – These are synonyms to each other.

So, now let’s check each option,

Elastic : Rigid - These are antonyms to each other.

Greet : Dodge - These are antonyms to each other.

Kidnap : Release - These are antonyms to each other.

Scream : Shriek - These are synonyms to each other.

Given: Ship : Sea :: Camel : ?

Logic:

Ship sails on the Sea.

Similarly,

Camel walks in the Desert.

Hence, Desert is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Only I.

Key Points

• In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and sex cells are not involved. 
• It is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
• Types of asexual reproduction are:
  • Binary Fission
  • Budding
  • Fragmentation
  • Vegetative Propagation
  • Sporogenesis
• Spore formation comes under sporogenesis. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
• Spore formation is a kind of reproduction process in plants by produces tiny spores and propagates through them.
• Spore Formation is a method of asexual reproduction. 
• Spore formation can be seen in the bread mould / Rhizopus.
• The airborne spores land on bread under favourable conditions and they germinate and produce new bread mould plants.
• Each spore is covered with a protective coat to withstand unfavourable conditions.
• Plants like ferns, mucor, and mosses are also reproduced through spore formation
• Spores are present in a sac called sporangia.
• Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.

Additional Information

• Pollination is a method of Sexual Reproduction.
• Self-pollination:
  • The transfer of pollen grains from another to the stigma of the same flower is called self-pollination.
• ​Cross-pollination:
  • The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower is called cross-pollination.
• Vegetative propagation:
  • It is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant wherein a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant.
