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. Mendel's Law of independent assortment stated that: The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene. 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. Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles. None 2. The two versions of a trait (character) which are brought in by the male and female gametes are situated on Any chromosome Sex chromosomes Copies of the same chromosome Two different chromosomes None 3. 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 4. How are variations created? Both A and B Because DNA copying mechanism is 100% accurate Because DNA copying mechanism is not accurate Because transcription of mrna from DNA is not accurate None 5. 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: 9 3 1 0 None 6. Mendel's experiments on dihybrid cross was based on Tall plant yellow flower x dwarf plant, white flower Green cotyledon, round seed x yellow cotyledon, wrinkled seed Tall plant, red flower x dwarf plant, white flower Yellow cotyledon, round seed x green cotyledon, wrinkled seed None 7. The characteristics of the second generation organisms produced asexually will be All of the above Completely similar Some will be unique while others will be similar due to inheritance Comparatively similar None 8. Due to Starvation if beetles have low body weight then this character is transfer to the next generation or not it is based on 9. inhabit the most in hospitable habitats like hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents and the ice in Antarctica. 10. 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 III & IV I, III and IV II, III and IV II & IV None 11. The only progressive trend in evolution seems to be that more and more ____________ body designs have emerged overtime. Simple None of the above Complex Both A and B None 12. Which of the following is true about chromosomes? Two germ cells combine to restore the normal number of chromosomes in the progeny. Separate independent pieces responsible for variations is called a chromosome. All of the above. Each cell will have two copies of each chromosome, one each from the male and female parents. None 13. 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 14. Among the following which is not one of the direct conclusion that can be drawn from Mendel's experiment? Two copies of each trait is inherited in sexually reproducing orgainsm For recessive trait to be expressed, both copies should be identical. Natural selection can alter frequency of an inherited trait. Only one parental trait is expressed in F 1 generation. None 15. The phenomenon where individuals of a species exhibit differences in characteristics are called: Adaptation Evolution All of the above Variation None 16. 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 Variation Inheritance Evolution None of the above None 17. Mendel's experiments on dihybrid cross was based on 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 Green cotyledon, round seed x yellow cotyledon, wrinkled seed None 18. What are the main theories about how humans got to the America? Humans walked across the continent of Pangea. Humans were always in the America. Humans went by planes. None of the above None 19. 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. C, D and E B, C and D B and D only B and E only None 20. 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 Carl Sagan Murray Gell-Mann Stanley Lloyd Miller None 21. 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 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 listenning10 October 2025 robo car kit17 November 2025 Option-14 August 2024Leave 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.
