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) : 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

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.

4 / 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?

purple

green

red

no color

5 / 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

6 / 15

A group of grass hoppers – some green and some brown-lived in grassland having dry bushes and dry grass. Name the phenomeneon

Natural Selection

Natural inheritance

law of dominance

law of independence

7 / 15

Who is the Father of Genetics ?

Thomas Edison

charles Darwin

Mendel

none of these

8 / 15

The maleness of a child is determined by:

The X chromosome in the zygote

The Y chromosome in the zygote

The cytoplasm of the germ cell which determines the sex

Sex is determined by chance

9 / 15

A trait in an organism is infuenced by:

Paternal DNA only

Maternal DNA only

Both maternal and paternal DNA

Neither paternal nor maternal DNA

10 / 15

The number of pair(s) of sex chromosomes in the zygote of humans is

One

Two

Three

Four

11 / 15

The two versions of a trait (character) which are brought in by the male and female gametes are located on:

Copies of the same chromosome

Two diferent chromosomes

Sex chromosomes

Any chromosome

12 / 15

Name the organ analogous to the wings of birds.

Forelimb of human

Wings of insect

Fore-leg of horse

None of these

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

If a round, green-seeded pea plant (RR yy) is crossed with wrinkled, yellow seeded pea plant, (rr YY), the seeds production in F1 generation are:

Round and yellow

Round and green

Wrinkled and green

Wrinkled and yellow

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
