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

Copies of the same chromosome

Two diferent chromosomes

Sex chromosomes

Any chromosome

8 / 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

9 / 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

10 / 15

Choose the statements that describe the characteristics of genes:

Genes are specifc sequence of bases in a DNA molecule

A gene does not code for proteins.

In individuals of a given species, a specifc gene is located on a particular chromosome.

Each chromosome has only one gene

1 and 3

3 and 4

11 / 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

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.

In human males, all the chromosomes are match up perfectly except one. These unpaired chromosomes are:

Large chromosome

Small chromosome

Y chromosome

X chromosome

The tendril of a pea plant and the phylloclade of Opuntia are homologous.

The tendril of a pea plant and the phylloclade of Opuntia are analogous.

The wings of birds and the limbs of lizards are analogous

The wings of bird and the wings of bats are homologous.

15 / 15

Some dinosaurs had feathers although they could not fly but birds have feathers that help them to fly. In the context of evolution this means that:

Reptiles have evolved from birds

There is no evolutionary connection between reptiles and birds.

Feathers are homologous structures in both the organisms.

Birds have evolved from reptiles.
