Genetics, an important branch of biology, is best defined as:
1. | The study of the transmission of traits from parent to offspring. |
2. | The study of genes and traits defined by genes. |
3. | The study of DNA. |
4. | The study of variation between members of a species. |
Assertion (A): | In a dissimilar situation, the chance of a gamete receiving the dominant allele of a given gene is much higher than receiving the recessive allele. |
Reason (R): | Recessive alleles are always present in less number than a dominant allele in the gene pool. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
4. | (A) is False and (R) is also False |
I: | Gregor Mendel, conducted hybridisation experiments on garden peas for seven years (1856-1863) and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms. |
II: | During Mendel’s investigations into inheritance patterns it was for the first time that statistical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology. |
III: | His experiments had a large sampling size, which gave greater credibility to the data that he collected. |
IV: | Mendel investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits. |
1. | 25 | 2. | 50 |
3. | 75 | 4. | 100 |
1. | quantitative trait | 2. | Mendelian trait |
3. | polygenic trait | 4. | maternal trait |
The number of types of gametes produced by a plant with the genotype AaBbCCDd will be:
1. | 2 | 2. | 4 |
3. | 8 | 4. | 16 |
Assertion (A): | The sickle cell anaemia allele is common in certain African populations. |
Reason (R): | It provides a survival advantage against malaria. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
