What type of sex determination system is found in honeybees?

Honeybees follow the haplodiploidy system, where females are diploid (fertilized eggs) and males are haploid (unfertilized eggs). This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

During which phase of mitosis do spindle fibers attach to kinetochores?

During metaphase, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores and align the chromosomes at the equatorial plate. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following is an incorrect statement about climate change and biodiversity?

Climate change significantly impacts biodiversity by altering habitats, increasing extreme weather events, and affecting species interactions. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

What was the key finding of the Hershey and Chase experiment?

Hershey and Chase demonstrated that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material using bacteriophages labeled with radioactive isotopes. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following correctly describes codominance?

In codominance, both alleles contribute equally to the phenotype, as seen in the AB blood group. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which human activity is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforest?

Large areas of the Amazon rainforest are being cleared for agriculture, particularly for growing soybeans and raising cattle. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which pteridophyte is considered a living fossil and shows primitive vascular tissue organization?

Psilotum, known as a "living fossil, " has a primitive vascular system and is one of the simplest vascular plants. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following describes K-selected species?

K-selected species produce fewer offspring and invest significant parental care to ensure survival. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following occurs during zygotene of prophase I?

During zygotene, homologous chromosomes start pairing, a process called synapsis, forming bivalents. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following correctly describes a recessive allele?

A recessive allele is expressed only in individuals who are homozygous recessive (aa). This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
