How do Mendel’s experiments show that the traits may be dominant or recessive?
"A trait may be inherited, but may not be expressed." Justify this statement with the help of a suitable example.
A study found that children with light-coloured eyes are likely to have parents with light-coloured eyes. On this basis, can we say anything about whether the light eye colour trait is dominant or recessive? Why or why not?
Outline a project which aims to find the dominant coat colour in dogs.
How is the equal genetic contribution of male and female parents ensured in the progeny?
State whether the following statement is true or false :
The sex of an infant is not a case of inheritance of characteristics.
The gene for red hair is recessive to the gene for black hair. What will be the hair colour of a person if he inherits a gene for red hair from his mother and a gene for black hair from his father?
Gregor Mendel's first law of genetics states "Of a pair of contrasted characters, only one can be represented in a gamete by its internal 'factor' State where these factors are found in gametes.
In order to ensure that he had pure-breeding plants for his experiments, Mendel :
(a) cross-fertilised each variety with each other
(b) let each variety self fertilise for several generations
(c) removed the female parts of the plants
(d) removed the male parts of the plants.
The visible characteristic in an organism is known as ______.
A trait in an organism is influenced by ______
Pure-bred pea plants A are crossed with pure-bred pea plants B. It is found that the plants which look like A do not appear in F1 generation but re-emerge in F2 generation. Which of the plants A and B are : (i) tall, and (ii) dwarf? Give reason for your answer.
A red-haired woman marries a brown-haired man, and all the children are brown haired. Explain this genetically.
One of the following traits of the parents cannot be passed on to their future generations. This trait is:
List two differences in tabular form between dominant trait and recessive traits. What percentage/proportion of the plants in the F2 generation/progeny were round, in Mendel's cross between round and wrinkled pea plants?
Define Heredity. Give two examples.
Assertion: When pure breed tall plants are crossed with pure breed short plants, all the plants in F1 progeny are tall. When the tall plants of F1 progeny are crossed, short plants re-appear in F2 progeny.
Reason: Traits are independently inherited.
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
A cross between pea plant with white flowers (vv) and pea plant with violet flowers (VV) resulted in F2 progeny in which ratio of violet (VV) and white (vv) flowers will be ______.
Mendel crossed pea plants with two pairs of contrasting characters.
