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

Boy

Girl

X chromosome does not determine the sex of a child

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) : 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

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?

purple

green

red

no color

5 / 15

Bacteria have a simpler body plan when compared with human beings. Does it mean that human beings are more evolved than bacteria?

Yes

No

It is difficult to say

none of these

6 / 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

1

2

Both 1 & 2

None of these

7 / 15

Charles Darwin

Mendel

Thomas Edison

none of these

8 / 15

Which of the following statement is inappropriate?

For every hormone there is a gene.

For every protein there is a gene.

For production of every enzyme there is a gene.

For every molecule of fat there is a gene.

9 / 15

Carrot and potato

Carrot and tomato

Radish and carrot

Radish and potato

10 / 15

Paternal DNA only

Maternal DNA only

Both maternal and paternal DNA

Neither paternal nor maternal DNA

11 / 15

Copies of the same chromosome

Two diferent chromosomes

Sex chromosomes

Any chromosome

12 / 15

Select the group which shares the maximum number of common characters

Two species of a genus

Two genera of a family

Two individuals of a species

Two genera of two families

13 / 15

Which of the subsiquent is not a direct conclusion that can be drawn from Mendels experiment?

Only one parental trait is expressed.

Two copies of each trait are inherited in sexually reproducing organism

For recessive trait to be expressed, both copies should be identical

Natural selection can alter frequency of an inherited trait.

14 / 15

Tall plant with round seeds

Tall plant with wrinkled seeds

Dwarf plant with round seed

Round and green

Wrinkled and green

Wrinkled and yellow
