Question

Saroj prepared a set of questions for her classmates.

1. Mendel chose pod shape of pea that are inflated or constricted. What kind of shape do they mean in Maths?
2. Mendel took tall or short pea plants. Find out the tallest and shortest pea plant recorded in India. Write their heights in centimetres.
3. What will be the ratio of red and yellow fruits produced by tomato plant which is self pollinated?
4. How many normal boy(s) and girl(s) are born when a colour blind man marries a normal female?

Answer 1

1. In mathematics, the inflated shape of a pea pod corresponds to a smooth, continuous convex cylinder, whereas the constricted shape represents a corrugated, segmented, or wave-like geometric form.
2. The shortest recorded pea plant varieties in India measure approximately 30 to 40 centimetres in height, while the tallest climbing varieties can reach up to 200 to 250 centimetres under optimal growth conditions.
3. The phenotypic ratio of red and yellow fruits produced by a self-pollinated heterozygous tomato plant will be three red fruits to one yellow fruit.
4. When a colour-blind man marries a normal female, all the children will have normal vision, resulting in one hundred percent normal boys and one hundred percent phenotypically normal carrier girls.
