उत्तर
| Inherited Characters | Acquired Characters |
| Inherited characters are those characters that a person gets from his/her ancestors. | Acquired characters are the characters that a person gets during his/her lifetime. |
| These characters develop due to changes in DNA of germ cells so, these are passed on from one generation to another. | These characters do not develop due to changes in DNA of germ cells hence, they are not inherited to the next generation. |
| Examples - attached or free earlobes, colour of the eye, skin colour, etc. | Examples - decrease in weight due to starvation, muscular body, etc. |

Given below are the F2 – phenotypic ratios of two independently carried monohybrid crosses :
(i) 1 : 2 : 1
(ii) 3 : 1
Mention what does each ratio suggest.
Answer the following question.
Write the basis on which Alfred Sturtevant explained gene mapping.
Differentiate Between Monohybrid and Dihybrid cross.
What do you understand by the terms phenotype and genotype?
Pure-bred tall pea plants are first crossed with pure-bred dwarf pea plants. The pea plants obtained in the F1 generation are then selfed to produce F2 generation of pea plants.
What do the plants of the F1 generation look like?
Pure-bred tall pea plants are first crossed with pure-bred dwarf pea plants. The pea plants obtained in the F1 generation are then selfed to produce F2 generation of pea plants.
What is the ratio of tall plants to dwarf plants in the F2 generation?
Genotypic ratio of a monohybrid cross is ______.
When a tall plant with rounded seeds (TTRR) is grossed with a Dwarf plant with wrinkled seeds (ttrr) the F1 generation consists of tall plants with rounded seeds. How many types of gametes the F1 plant would produce?
In a monohybrid cross of plants with red and white flowered plants, Mendel got only red-flowered plants. On self-pollinating these F1 plants got both red and white flowered plants in 3:1 ratio. Explain the basis of using RR and rr symbols to represent the genotype of plants of parental generation.
Pooja has green eyes while her parents and brother have black eyes. Pooja’s husband Ravi has black eyes while his mother has green eyes and father has black eyes.
a. On the basis of the above given information, is the green eye colour a dominant or recessive trait? Justify your answer
b. What is the possible genetic makeup of Pooja’s brother’s eye colour?
c. What is the probability that the offspring of Pooja and Ravi will have green eyes? Also, show the inheritance of eye colour in the offspring with the help of a suitable cross.
OR
c. 50% of the offspring of Pooja’s brother are green eyed. With help of cross show how this is possible.
Assertion (A): In humans, if gene (B) is responsible for black eyes and gene (b) responsible for brown eyes, then the colour of eyes of the progeny having gene combination Bb, bb or BB will be black only.
Reason (R): The black colour of the eyes is a dominant trait.
Given below is a schematic representation of the inheritance of the shape of the seeds of garden peas. Answer the questions that follow:
