Class 10 Biology – HeredityPost author:sriwiszy.inPost published: 9 February 2024Post category:BlogPost comments:0 Comments Welcome to your Class 10 heredity and Evolution-biology 1. Which of the following statements (A - E) are wrong:A. Mendel is called the 'Father of Genetics.'B. The simplest cross conducted by Mendel is the dihybrid cross.C. The dominant trait for the visible character seed colour selected by Mendel is green.D. The first generation offspring is also represented as pure breeding.E. Mendel's experiments are based on the cross-breeding of two plants of pea differing from each other. B and E only B and D only B, C and D C, D and E None 2. The two versions of a trait (character) which are brought in by the male and female gametes are situated on Two different chromosomes Any chromosome Copies of the same chromosome Sex chromosomes None 3. inhabit the most in hospitable habitats like hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents and the ice in Antarctica. 4. In 1952, when still a graduate student, he circulated water, ammonia, methane and hydrogen, pass an electric discharge to simulate lightning and got complicated molecules associated with life such as amino acids. This experiment was one of the first great experiments which proved that life indeed could arise from non-living matter. Who was this scientist? Donald Arthur Glaser Stanley Lloyd Miller Carl Sagan Murray Gell-Mann None 5. Which of the following is true about chromosomes? All of the above. Two germ cells combine to restore the normal number of chromosomes in the progeny. Separate independent pieces responsible for variations is called a chromosome. Each cell will have two copies of each chromosome, one each from the male and female parents. None 6. Inheritance from the previous generation provides Only a common basic body design Both A and B None of the above Only subtle changes in it in the common body design None 7. A pea plant with yellow and round seeds is crossed with another pea plant with green and wrinkled seeds that produced 49 yellow round and 49 yellow wrinkled seeded pea plants. The genotype of parent plant with yellow round seeds must be: YyRR yyRr YYRr Yyrr None 8. What are the main theories about how humans got to the America? None of the above Humans went by planes. Humans walked across the continent of Pangea. Humans were always in the America. None 9. The only progressive trend in evolution seems to be that more and more ____________ body designs have emerged overtime. Complex None of the above Simple Both A and B None 10. A brown-eyed couple has a blue-eyed child. The trait of brown eye (B) is dominant over that of blue-eyed (b). What is the genotype of the couple? BB × BB Bb × Bb BB × bb BB × Bb None 11. The sequence of gradual changes which takes place in the primitive organisms over millions of years in which new species are produced is known as Inheritance None of the above Variation Evolution None 12. Due to Starvation if beetles have low body weight then this character is transfer to the next generation or not it is based on 13. The phenomenon where individuals of a species exhibit differences in characteristics are called: Variation Evolution Adaptation All of the above None 14. Mendel's experiments on dihybrid cross was based on Green cotyledon, round seed x yellow cotyledon, wrinkled seed Tall plant yellow flower x dwarf plant, white flower Tall plant, red flower x dwarf plant, white flower Yellow cotyledon, round seed x green cotyledon, wrinkled seed None 15. In humans, sex is determined by :I. 22 pairs of chromosomes which are exactly alike in male and female II. A pair of sex chromosomes III. Egg with single set of chromosome IV. Genetic make up of a sperm II, III and IV II & IV I, III and IV III & IV None 16. How are variations created? Because DNA copying mechanism is 100% accurate Both A and B Because transcription of mrna from DNA is not accurate Because DNA copying mechanism is not accurate None 17. Mendel's Law of independent assortment stated that: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles. The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs dependently to that of any other gene. When gametes form, alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene. None 18. Among the following which is not one of the direct conclusion that can be drawn from Mendel's experiment? Natural selection can alter frequency of an inherited trait. For recessive trait to be expressed, both copies should be identical. Two copies of each trait is inherited in sexually reproducing orgainsm Only one parental trait is expressed in F 1 generation. None 19. The characteristics of the second generation organisms produced asexually will be Completely similar Some will be unique while others will be similar due to inheritance All of the above Comparatively similar None 20. A pure dominant pea plant producing round yellow seeds is crossed with pure recessive pea plant producing wrinkled green seeds. The number of plants bearing round green seeds in the F1 generation of Mendel's experiment is: 1 0 9 3 None 21. Mendel's experiments on dihybrid cross was based on Green cotyledon, round seed x yellow cotyledon, wrinkled seed Tall plant, red flower x dwarf plant, white flower Tall plant yellow flower x dwarf plant, white flower Yellow cotyledon, round seed x green cotyledon, wrinkled seed None Time's up Please Share This Share this content Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window You Might Also Like FIND FREE COURSES ALL OVER THE WEB22 February 2024 New NCERT textbooks in 2024-25 Major Changes22 March 2024 buying order18 November 2025Leave a Reply Cancel replyCommentEnter your name or username to commentEnter your email address to commentEnter your website URL (optional) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
