PRACTICE TEST- 2-Class 10 -Science-Biology-Chapter 8 :Heredity and Evolution

Welcome to your Ncert - class 10- science - Chapter 8 – Heredity and Evolution2

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.

In a certain plant, yellow fruit colour (Y) is dominant to green fruit colour (y) and round shape (R) is dominant to oval shape (r). The two genes involved are located on different chromosomes.
Which of the following is correct for the condition when plant YyRr is back crossed with the double recessive parent?

9:3:3:1 Ratio of Phenotypes only

1: 1: 1: 1 Ratio of Phenotypes only

1: 1: 1: 1 Ratio of Phenotypes and Genotypes

9 : 3: 3: 1 Ratio of Genotypes only

None

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Mendel's findings remained unknown until these were rediscovered.

Both

None

Mendel's experiments gave us the mechanism for the inheritance of traits from one generation to the next.

None

According to the theory of acquired inheritance which one is correct?

All of the above

Changes in phenotype are passed on by way of the genotype to the next generation.

If a man loses his hand, then his children will also be missing a hand.

Organisms are able to bring about a change in their phenotype.

None

Study the following and select the correct statements.

(I) F1 progeny is the first hybrid generation and progeny resembled either of the parents.

(II) F2 progeny is a resultant hybrid generation of cross-pollination among F1 progeny and progeny showed both dwarf and tall plants.

(III) F2 progeny is a hybrid generation, produced by selfing F1 hybrids and progeny contained both dwarf and tall plants.

(IV) The proportion of probability of plants that dwarf was 1/4 that of the

F2 plants while 3/4th of the plants were tall.

I, II, III, IV

III, IV

I, III, IV

I, II, IV

None

What are the differences between inherited and acquired characters?

Inherited characters - Characters that are passed on from offspring to parents. Acquired characters - Characters appearing in an individual's lifetime and can be transmitted to next generation.

Inherited characters - Characters that are passed on from parents to offspring. Acquired characters - Characters appearing in an individual's lifetime but cannot be transmitted to next generation.

Inherited characters - Characters appearing in an individual's lifetime and can be transmitted to next generation. Acquired characters - Characters appearing in an individual's lifetime but cannot be transmitted to next generation.

Inherited characters - Characters appearing in an individual's lifetime but cannot be transmitted to next generation. Acquired characters - Characters that are passed on from parents to offspring.

None

Select the incorrect statement.

Each character of an individual is controlled by a unit factor.

During gamete formation, the alleles do not segregate, so that each gamete receives both the pair of alleles.

The various forms of genes occupying a locus on homologous chromosomes are called alleles.

Locus is the position on chromosomes were genes are located.

None

A cross between a tall pea plant and dwarf pea plant resulted tall progenies in F1 generation, because

Dwarfness is a dominant trait.

Tallness is a dominant trait.

Tallness is a recessive trait.

Neither 'T' or 't' governs stem height.

None

If in a garden pea plant, a cross is made between red-flowered (RR) and white-flowered (rr) plants. What will be the phenotypic ratio in F2 generation?

1 : 2 : 1

9 : 3 : 3 : 1

3 : 1

1 : 3

None

With respect to the Darwin's theory of natural selection, which of the following is true for the organisms that are best suited to their environment?

Are most likely to evolve

Are most likely to survive and reproduce

Are the fastest organisms

Are most likely to live the longest

None

10.

Which of the following statements about natural selection are correct?

(i) Natural selection tends to increase the characters that enhance survival and reproduction.

(ii) Individuals with better adaptive ability will produce more progeny.

(iii) Was considered as a mechanism of evolution by Darwin.

(i), (ii) and (iii)

(i) and (iii) only

(i) and (ii) only

(iii) only

None

11.

Experiment to prove that synthesis of organic compounds formed the basis of origin of life was performed by :

Oparin

Miller

Haldane

Fox

None

12.

A woman has only daughters. Which of the following is the suitable explanation for it?

The man produces sperms with either X and Y chromosomes and all are viable.

The man produces sperms with either X and Y chromosomes but only the sperms with Y chromosomes are viable.

The man produces sperms with either X and Y chromosomes but only the sperms with X chromosomes are viable.

The man produces sperms that have only X chromosomes and all are viable.

None
