With reference to vegetative propagation in plants, consider the following statements: 1. It can result in earlier flowering and fruiting than seed propagation. 2. It enables multiplication of plants that no longer produce seeds. 3. It helps maintain parental traits due to genetic similarity. 4. It is not used for grapes. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Consider the following statements about the male reproductive tract: 1. The vas deferens enters the kidney directly. 2. The urethra serves as a common passage for sperm and urine. 3. Secretions from accessory glands make transport easier and provide nutrition. Which of the statements given above are correct?

How many of the following are listed as bacterial sexually transmitted infections: gonorrhoea, syphilis, warts, HIV-AIDS?
In which of the following organisms does the body break into fragments upon maturation, with each fragment growing into a new individual?
Assertion (A): The creation of a DNA copy is a basic event in reproduction. Reason (R): A newly copied DNA strand can survive and function independently without the original cellular apparatus.
Assertion (A): Self-pollination guarantees the introduction of genetic variation in the offspring. Reason (R): Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower.
Which mode of asexual reproduction is characteristic of yeast, involving the formation of a small outgrowth?
In certain simple animals like Hydra, a reproductive outgrowth forms at one site and later detaches as an independent organism. This process is known as:
