The sex in offspring is determined by the type of sperm which will fertilize the ovum. The sperm produced by the testis has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosomes /either the X chromosome or the Y chromosome// 22 + X or 22 + Y The ovum produced in the ovary has 22 autosomes and one X chromosome . If a sperm that contains the X chromosome fertilizes the ovum, a zygote that has two X /XX chromosome is produced, that is a girl. If a sperm that contains the Y chromosomes fertilizes the ovum, a zygote containing the XY chromosome is produced, that is a boy.

– Ovulation releases a secondary oocyte , which enters the oviduct. - The secondary oocyte starts meiosis II which progresses until metaphase II. - The nuclei of a sperm cell (n) and the ovum (n) fuse and form a diploid zygote (2n). // A sperm fertilize the ovum to form a zygote.

- Zygote begins to divide repeatedly by mitosis as it travels along the fallopian tube towards the uterus. - Morula is form followed by blastula.

- Implantation occur / The blastocyst attaches itself to the endometrium.

Sample Answer : - Cigarette contain nicotine / DDT / lead particles. - The wall of maternal blood capillaries and the wall of foetal blood capillaries are semi-permeable. - Nicotine, drugs and alcohol are small in size.

- Nicotine, drugs and alcohol can diffuse from maternal blood capillaries to foetal blood capillaries - through the placenta - The substances carried by umbilical vein to the foetus.

- Nicotine, drugs or alcohol can affect the development of foetus - (example) cause disable / miscarriage . birth defect/ illness in the resulting baby.

Sample Answer : √Problem Statement 01=3 Does the distance of seedlings affects the growth rate of plants? √Aim of experiment To study the effects of distance of seedlings on the growth rate of plants √Hypothesis

02=3 The longer the distance of seedlings , the higher the growth rate of plants √Variables Manipulated variable : The distance of seedlings Responding variable : The height of seedlings/ the growth rate of plants Constant variable : Number of seedlings / types of soil/ amount of water/ light intensity / time taken √Materials Maize seeds, water, garden soil ,

05=3 Apparatus Three planting trays / basins , metre rule , waterproof paint, √Techniques

B1=1 Measure the height of seedling by using metre rule OR Calculate the growth rate of seedlings by using formula = average heights of seedlings /cm time taken √Procedure 1- Three planting trays are prepared and filled with 3 kg of garden soil in each tray. Labeled the

trays as A, B and C with water proof paint. 04=3

2- 30 numbers of maize seeds are planted in tray A at a distance of 10 cm intervals, 30 numbers of maize seeds are planted in tray B at a distance of 5 cm intervals and 30 numbers of maize seeds are planted in tray C at a distance of 2 cm intervals a shown below (not in correct scale) . 2cm γ-10cm- γ γ γ-5cm-γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ

height is calculated by using the formula = the total height of seedlings/cm 10 The growth rate of seedlings is calculated by using formula = the average height of seedlings/ cm Time taken / day 6- Step 4-5 are repeated for seedlings from tray B and C. The average height and the growth rate of seedlings in tray B and C are measured and calculated separately. 7- The result are recorded in a table. √Results
