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) : 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

2 / 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

3 / 15

The gene type of green stemmed tomato plants is denoted as GG and that of purple stemmed tomato plants as gg. What colour of stem would you expect in F1 progeny when these two are crossed?

As green stem is a dominant trait as compared to purple stem, the colour of stem would be green in F1 progeny

As green stem is a dominant trait as compared to purple stem, the colour of stem would be Blue in F1 progeny

As green stem is a dominant trait as compared to purple stem, the colour of stem would be violet in F1 progeny

none of these

4 / 15

Why did Mendel carry out an experiment to study inheritance of two traits in garden-pea

To see the interaction and basis of inheritance between them.

To see the Difference between them.

Just to Observe them

none of these

5 / 15

Newly formed DNA copies

are identical

may not be identical

both 1 & 2

none of these

6 / 15

The major function of cellular DNA is

to store information and pass it to ofspring.

to store information and pass it to parents.

to store information and not pass it to ofspring.

none of these

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

The first person to give scientific explanation for the mechanism of transmission of characters from parents to the offsprings.

Charles Darwin

Mendel

Thomas Edison

none of these

9 / 15

The Phenomeneon of Natural Selection was done by

Charles Darwin

Mendel

Thomas Edison

None of these

10 / 15

A cross between a tall plant (TT) and short plant (tt) resulted in progeny that were all tall plants as:

Tallness is the dominant trait

Shortness is the dominant trait

Tallness is the recessive trait

Height of plant is not governed by gene t or t

11 / 15

From the list given below, select the character which can be acquired but not inherited:

Colour of eyes

Colour of skin

Size of body

Nature of hair

12 / 15

If the fossil of an organism is found in the deeper layers of earth, then we can predict that:

The extinction of the organism occurred recently

The extinction of the organism occurred thousands of years ago

The fossil position in the layers of Earth is not related to its time of extinction.

The time of extinction cannot be determined.

13 / 15

A zygote which has an X chromosome inherited from the father will develop into a:

Boy

Girl

X chromosome does not determine the sex of a child

Either boy or girl

14 / 15

Select the inappropriate statement:

The frequency of certain genes in a population change over several generations resulting in evolution.

The reduction in the weight of an organism due to starvation is genetically controlled.

Low weight parents can have heavy weight progeny.

Traits which are not inherited over generations do not cause evolution.

15 / 15

In peas, a pure tall plant (TT) is crossed with a pure short plant (tt). The ratio of pure tall plants to pure short plants in F2 generation will be:

1 : 3

3:01

1:01

2:01

Your score is

0%
