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.

In a cross between red coloured and white coloured flowers, when plants with red coloured flowers of F₁ generation were self pollinated, plants of F₂ generation were obtained in which 75% of plants were with red flowers and 2.5% plants were with white flowers.

Explain the inheritance of traits in the above cross with the help of a flow chart only along with the ratio of plants obtained.

An electric motor rated 1100 W is connected to 220 V mains. Find: 

1. The current drawn from the mains,
2. Electric energy consumed if the motor is used for 5 hours daily for 6 days.
3. Total cost of energy consumed if the rate of one unit is 5.

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.
