Q1.
The leydig’s cells secrete
Solution
(b) Leydig’s cells are endocrine in nature and present in testes of mammals. These cells in other vertebrates except mammals are known as interstitial cells. These cells secrete male sex hormone testosterone, which influence secondary sexual charscters in males. Oestrogen is female sex hormone, secreted from Graafian follicles and responsible for secondary sexual characters in female.

Q5.
In which of the following animal, cleavage divisions are restricted to a small part of cytoplasm and nucleus in animal pole of egg?
Solution
(c) In birds and other polylecithal egg containing animals, cleavage (division) are restricted to a small part of cytoplasm and nucleus in animal pole of egg. Such type of cleavage is termed as ‘meroblastic cleavage’.

Q6.
Women who consumed the drug thalidomide for relief from vomiting during early months of pregnancy gave birth to children with
Solution
(b) Thalidomide should not be used during pregnancy because even a single dose of thalidomide can cause severe birth defects such as phocomelia (underdeveloped limbs) in foetus or foetal death.

Acrosome is the modified
Solution
(c) Golgi body. Acrosome is the part of sperm, which is found at the head region. It is the modified Golgi body that contain many enzymes for the penetration to ovum. Acrosome contains hyaluronidase proteolytic enzymes, which is popularly known as sperm lysin as it is used to penetrate egg (ovum) at the time of fertilisaton
