"A trait may be inherited, but may not be expressed." Justify this statement with the help of a suitable example.
In a monohybrid cross between tall pea plants (TT) and short pea plants (tt), a scientist obtained only tall pea plants (Tt) in the F1 generation. However, on selfing the F1 generation pea plants, he obtained both tall and short plants in F2 generation. On the basis of above observations with other angiosperms also, can the scientist arrive at a law? If yes, explain the law. If not, give justification for your answer.
Mendel crossed tall pea plants with dwarf pea plants in his experiment. Write his observations giving reason on the F1 and F2 generations.
List any two contrasting characters other than height that Mendel used in his experiments in pea plants.
List any two contrasting characters other than roundness of pea plants that Mendel used in his experiments with pea plants.
How is the equal genetic contribution of male and female parents ensured in the progeny?
How did Mendel explain that it is possible that a trait is inherited but not expressed in an organism?
Fill in the following blank with suitable word .
In pea plants, the gene for dwarfness is ..............whereas that for tallness is ............ .
Name the scientist who gave the laws of inheritance.
What will you get in the F1 and F2 generations in the following cross?
Pure tall pea plant × Pure dwarf pea plant
In the F2 generation of a cross, progeny having different traits are produced in the ratio 3 : 1. State whether it is a monohybrid cross or a dihybrid cross? Give one example of such a cross.
What is the genotype of dwarf plants which always produced dwarf offspring?
What sizes of plants are produced if both parents have genes Tt?
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 Give the modern name for this 'factor'.
Give the contrasting traits of the following characters in pea plant and mention which is dominant and which is recessive :
Round seed
Why did Mendel choose pea plants for conducting his experiments on inheritance?
How do Mendel's experiments show that traits may be dominant or recessive?
How do Mendel's experiments show that traits are inherited independently?
For his experiments on heredity, Mendel used :
papaya plants
potato plants
pea plants
pear plants
In the human blood grouping, the four basic blood types are type A, type B, type AB, and type O. The blood proteins A and B are :
(a) simple dominant and recessive traits
(b) incomplete dominant traits
(c) codominant traits
(d) sex-linked traits
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
(a) for every hormone there is a gene
(b) for every protein there is a gene
(c) for production of every enzyme there is a gene
(d) for every type of fat there is a gene
What are the possible blood groups likely to be inherited by children born to a group A mother and a group B father? Explain your reasoning.
Mendel first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only round-yellow seeds were produced in the F1 generation. When F1generation pea plants having round-yellow seeds were cross-bred by self pollination, then peas having round-yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled-yellow seeds and wrinkled-green seeds were produced. Mendel collected a total of 2160 seeds.
(a) What will be the number of (i) round green seeds (ii) wrinkled green seeds (iii) round yellow seeds, and (iv) wrinkled-yellow seeds?
(b) Which 'ratio' as established by Mendel have you made use of in answering the part (a) above?
If we pure-bred tall (dominant) pea plant with pure-bred dwarf (recessive) pea plant we will get pea plants of F1 generation. If we now self-cross the pea plant of F1 generation, then we obtain pea plants of F2 generation.
(a) What do the plants of F2 generation look like?
(b) State the ratio of tall plants to dwarf plants in F2 generation.
(c) State the type of plants not found in F1 generation but appeared in F2 generation, mentioning the reason for the same.
Explain Mendel’s law of independent inheritance. Give one example.
Define Heredity. Give two examples.
____________ refers to the transmission of genetic information from parental generation to next generation.
What will be the number of chromosomes present in each gamete produced by the plants if the palisade cells of a species of the plant contain 28 chromosomes in all?
Two pink coloured flowers on crossing resulted in 1 red, 2 pink and 1 white flower progeny. The nature of the cross will be
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
In human males all the chromosomes are paired perfectly except one. This/these unpaired chromosome is/are
- large chromosome
- small chromosome
- Y-chromosome
- X-chromosome
What are the components of the DNA molecule?
If a tall pea plant is crossed with a pure dwarf pea plant then, what percentage of F1 and F2 generation respectively will be tall?
In the following figure showing a germinating gram seed, name the parts labelled as A, B and C:
Why is Part 'B' considered to be important during germination?
