1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.
What are volcanoes ? In appearance it looks like a cone-shapped mountain. But the slop of the cone is rather flat and hollow. This is the crater, which is as it were, the mouth of the volcano. The volcano is formed by matter rock coming up from below the earths crust; by molten rock we mean rock which is so hot that it runs like liquid. This rock is called lava.
Imagine a sort of pipe coming up from deep down in the earths surface passing through the rocks of the earths crust and coming up to the crater. The lava forces its way up this pipe and overflows to form the sides of the volcano. The volcanic mountain is therefore found in the areas where the earths surface is for some reason weak and cannot resist the pressure of the molten lava.
One of the most famous volcanic eruptions of ancient times was of Mount Vesuvius near Neples in 79 AD. Some neighboring towns were buried under huge amounts of ash. The ash preserved the bodies of many of the victims which can still be seen today.

What is gonads and what are functions?
Gonads are testes and ovaries.
Testes produce spermatozoa by spermatogenesis and ovaries produce ova by oogenesis.
Spermatozoa are produced via mitosis, producing diploid primary spermatocytes, then meiosis I which produces haploid secondary spermatocytes, which are converted to spermatids by meiosis II. Spermatids become spermatozoa.
For the inchoate ovum, a diploid primary oocyte forms, followed meiotically by a haploid secondary oocyte. Ovulation occurs and the secondary oocyte only becomes a true ovum after syngamy. During the process, primary polar bodies become secondary polar bodies and are all rejected.
