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. 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 9 3 0 None 2. Which of the following is true about chromosomes? 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. Two germ cells combine to restore the normal number of chromosomes in the progeny. None 3. How are variations created? Both A and B Because transcription of mrna from DNA is not accurate Because DNA copying mechanism is 100% accurate Because DNA copying mechanism is not accurate None 4. 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 D only C, D and E B and E only B, C and D None 5. 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 6. 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 Variation Evolution None of the above None 7. 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 & IV I, III and IV II, III and IV III & IV None 8. 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 9. What are the main theories about how humans got to the America? Humans walked across the continent of Pangea. None of the above Humans went by planes. Humans were always in the America. None 10. Mendel's Law of independent assortment stated that: The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene. 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. None 11. Among the following which is not one of the direct conclusion that can be drawn from Mendel's experiment? Only one parental trait is expressed in F 1 generation. Natural selection can alter frequency of an inherited trait. Two copies of each trait is inherited in sexually reproducing orgainsm For recessive trait to be expressed, both copies should be identical. None 12. The two versions of a trait (character) which are brought in by the male and female gametes are situated on Copies of the same chromosome Sex chromosomes Two different chromosomes Any chromosome None 13. Mendel's experiments on dihybrid cross was based on Yellow cotyledon, round seed x green cotyledon, wrinkled seed Tall plant yellow flower x dwarf plant, white flower Tall plant, red flower x dwarf plant, white flower Green cotyledon, round seed x yellow cotyledon, wrinkled seed None 14. inhabit the most in hospitable habitats like hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents and the ice in Antarctica. 15. The only progressive trend in evolution seems to be that more and more ____________ body designs have emerged overtime. None of the above Both A and B Complex Simple None 16. 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? Murray Gell-Mann Carl Sagan Stanley Lloyd Miller Donald Arthur Glaser None 17. The phenomenon where individuals of a species exhibit differences in characteristics are called: Variation Adaptation Evolution All of the above None 18. Inheritance from the previous generation provides Only a common basic body design Only subtle changes in it in the common body design Both A and B None of the above None 19. Due to Starvation if beetles have low body weight then this character is transfer to the next generation or not it is based on 20. The characteristics of the second generation organisms produced asexually will be Completely similar All of the above Comparatively similar Some will be unique while others will be similar due to inheritance None 21. 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 Yellow cotyledon, round seed x green cotyledon, wrinkled seed Tall plant, red flower x dwarf plant, white flower 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 HTML BASICS1 March 2024 How to Embed Google drive images in wordpress8 May 2024 FIND FREE COURSES ALL OVER THE WEB22 February 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.
