Science : Ch 09 – Heredity and Evolution

This test is designed based on NCERT Syllabus for Class 10 Topics : Heredity and Evolution

Each time random 15 questions will be displaced
So retake the quiz till you have mastered all the questions

1 / 15

Assertion (A) : Acquired traits cannot be passed from one generation to next generation. Reason (R) : Inaccuracy during DNA copying of acquired trait is minimum.

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the assertion

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion

(A) is true but (R) is false

(A) is false but (R) is true

2 / 15

Assertion (A) : New combination of traits are observed in F2 offspring when tall plants with round seeds are crossed with short plants with wrinkled seeds. Reason (R) : Tallness and round seed are both dominant traits.

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the assertion

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion

(A) is true but (R) is false

(A) is false but (R) is true

3 / 15

Assertion (A) : In human beings, sex of the individual is not genetically determined. Reason (R) : The genes inherited from our parents decide whether we will be boys or girls.

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the assertion

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion

(A) is true but (R) is false

(A) is false but (R) is true

4 / 15

Mendel crossed the round and green seeded pea plants with the wrinkled and yellow seeded pea plants. Give the phenotypic ratio of F2 generation.

Round Yellow : Round Green : Wrinkled Yellow : wrinkled Green = 9 : 3 : 2: 1.

Round Yellow : Round Green : Wrinkled Yellow : wrinkled Green = 8 : 3 : 3 : 1.

Round Yellow : Round Green : Wrinkled Yellow : wrinkled Green = 9 : 3 : 3 : 1.

Round Yellow : Round Green : Wrinkled Yellow : wrinkled Green = 4: 3 : 3 : 1.

5 / 15

What were his fndings with respect to inheritance of traits in F1 and F2 generation by Mendle?

Feature of only one parental type appear

None of these

6 / 15

What is the phenotypic ratio obtained in Mendels dihybrid cross

9:3:3:1

9:3:2:1

9:3:1:1

9:9:3:1

7 / 15

Name the plant Mendel used of F1 & F2 generation cross of tall and short plant experiment.

Garden pea

Tomato

Brinjal

All vegetables

8 / 15

Select correct option about variation?

The differences in characteristics between individuals of the same species is called variation.

Variations arise in organisms during the process of copying the DNA due to which the DNA copies will be similar but not identical to the original

2

Both 1 & 2

Charles Darwin

Mendel

Thomas Edison
