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

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

2 / 15

Assertion (A) : Inheritance from the previous generation provides subtle changes in body design for the next generation. Reason (R) : Greater diversity will be generated if asexual reproduction is involved.

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) : A single copy of ‘T’ is enough to make the plant tall. Reason (R) : Tallness trait (T) in Mendel’s experiment is a dominant trait.

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

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

5 / 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

6 / 15

A woman has only daughters which

Indicates that in every fusion, the sperm carrying the Y chromosome fertilized the ovum.

Indicates that in every fusion, the sperm carrying the X and Y chromosome fertilized the ovum.

Indicates that in every fusion, the sperm carrying the X chromosome fertilized the ovum.

Both 1 & 3

7 / 15

Newly formed DNA copies

are identical

may not be identical

both 1 & 2

none of these

8 / 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

9 / 15

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

Garden pea

Tomato

Brinjal

All vegetables

10 / 15

The Phenomeneon of Natural Selection was done by

Charles Darwin

Mendel

Thomas Edison

None of these

11 / 15

Name the organ analogous to the wings of birds.

Forelimb of human

Wings of insect

Fore-leg of horse

None of these

12 / 15

Two pink coloured fowers on crossing resulted in 1 red, 2 pink and 1 white fower progeny. The nature of the cross will be:

Double fertilization

Self pollination

Cross fertilization

No fertilization

13 / 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

14 / 15

As claimed by the evolutionary theory, formation of a new species is generally due to

Sudden creation by nature.

Accumulation of variations over several generations

Clones formed during asexual reproduction.

Movement of individuals from one habitat to another

15 / 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.
