(a) Parturition ( child birth ) involes a very hard muscular work at the expense of considerable energy by the mother .It is , therefore , also called labour .
(b) Early secretions from the mammary glands of mother are termed as colostrum, It brings antibodies from mother to combat infections in the newly born baby who still has to build up its own antibodies .

Read the passage given below and answer the question: The d block elements are the 40 elements contained in the four rows of ten columns (3-12) in the periodic table. As all the d block elements are metallic, the term d-block metals is synonymous. This set of d-block elements is also often identified as the transition metals, but sometimes the group 12 elements (zinc, cadmium, mercury) are excluded from the transition metals as the transition elements are defined as those with partly filled d or f shells in their compounds. Inclusion of the elements zinc, cadmium and mercury is necessary as some properties of the group 12 elements are appropriate logically to include with a discussion of transition metal chemistry. The term transition element or transition metal appeared to derive from early studies of periodicity such as the Mendeleev periodic table of the elements. His horizontal table of the elements was an attempt to group the elements together so that the chemistry of elements might be explained and predicted. In this table there are eight groups labeled I-VIII with each subdivided into A and B subgroups. Mendeleev recognized that certain properties of elements in Group VIII are related to those of some of the elements in Group VII and those at the start of the next row Group I. In that sense, these elements might be described as possessing properties transitional from one row of the table to the next. (source: Winter, M. J. (2015). D- block Chemistry (Vol. 27). Oxford University Press, USA.) In the following question, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion : Group VII elements of Mendeleev periodic table are transition elements. Reason: Group I-VIII in Mendleev periodic table is divided into two subgroups, A and B.

Choose the correct answer out of the choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: All d block elements are metallic in nature. Reason: The d-block elements belong to Group 3 -12 of the periodic table.

Choose the correct answer out of the choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: Group 12 elements are not considered as transition metals. Reason: Transition metals are those which have incompletely filled d shell in their compounds.

Some women cannot normally conceive because of any of the following reasons: (i) They cannot produce ova, (ii) They have blocked oviducts, or (iii) They have spermicidal secretions in the vagina. In such couples, one technique is commonly used. Name that Assisted Reproduction Technique. (b) At what stage, fertilized egg is transferred into the fallopian tube or uterus of the mother in this technique ?

Give the correct order of initials T or F for following statements. Use T if statement is true and F if it is falese : (I) The order of repulsion between different pair of electron is I_(p)-I_(p)gtI_(p)-b_(p)gtb_(p)-b_(p) (II) In general, as the number o flone pair of electron on central atom increases, value of bond angle from normal bond angle also increases (III) The number of lone pair on O in H_(2)O is 2 while on N in NH_(3) is 1 (IV) The structures of xenon fluorides and xenon oxyfluorides could not be explained on the basis of VSEPR theory
