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) : Acquired traits cannot be passed from one generation to next generation. Reason (R) : Inaccuracy during DNA copying of acquired trait is minimum.

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) : 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

3 / 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

4 / 15

9:3:3:1

9:3:2:1

9:3:1:1

9:9:3:1

5 / 15

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

Garden pea

Tomato

Brinjal

All vegetables

6 / 15

Total number of chromosomes along with the sex chromosomes that are present in a human female and a human male.

46

23

64

32

7 / 15

Who is the Father of Genetics ?

Thomas Edison

charles Darwin

Mendel

none of these

8 / 15

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

One

Two

Three

Four

9 / 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

10 / 15

Name the organ analogous to the wings of birds.

Forelimb of human

Wings of insect

Fore-leg of horse

None of these

11 / 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.

12 / 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

1 and 3

3 and 4

3

13 / 15

Which one is a Feasible progeny in F2 generation of pure bred tall plant with round seed and dwarf plant with wrinkled seeds?

Tall plant with round seeds

Tall plant with wrinkled seeds

Dwarf plant with round seed

All of the above

14 / 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.

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
