Q1. Which of the following is a totally impossible outcome of Mendel‘s Experiment in F1 and
F2 generation (cross breeding pure breed tall and short pea plants)?
(a) 3 tall 1 short plant
(b) 24 tall and 8 short plants
(c) 8 tall and 0 short plants
(d) 4 tall plants and 1 medium-height plant
Q2. Which one is a possible progeny in F2 generation of pure bred tall plant with round seed and
short plant with wrinkled seeds?
(a) Tall plant with round seeds
(b) Tall plant with wrinkled seeds
(c) Short plant with round seed
(d) All of the above
Q3. Two pink coloured flowers on crossing resulted in 1 red, 2 pink and 1 white flowers
progeny. The nature of the cross will be
(a) Double fertilization
(b) Self pollination
(c) cross fertilisation
(d) no fertilization
Q4. A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with
short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of
them were short. This suggests that the genetic makeup of the tall parent can be depicted as
(a) TTWW
(b) TTww
(c) TtWW
(d) TtWw
Q5. A pregnant woman has an equal chance of her baby being blood group A or blood group
AB. Which one of the following shows the possible genotypes of the woman and the father of
her child?
(a) IAIA and IB IO
(b) IA IB and IB IO
(c) IA IO and IB IO
(d) IA IB and IA IO
Q6. The following results were obtained by a scientist who crossed the F1 generation of pure-
breeding parents for round and wrinkled seeds. Dominant trait - Round seeds Recessive trait -
Wrinkled seeds No. of F2 offspring -7524 From these results, it can be concluded that the actual
number of round seeds he obtained was:
(a) 1881
(b) 22572
(c) 2508
(d) 5643
Q7. Pea plants can have smooth seeds or wrinkled seeds. One of the phenotypes is completely
dominant over the other. A farmer decides to pollinate one flower of a plant with smooth seeds
using pollen from plant with wrinkled seeds. The resulting pea pod has all smooth seeds. Which
of the following crosses will give smooth and wrinkled seeds in same proportion?
(a) RR X rr
(b) Rr X rr
(c) RRX Rr
(d) rr X rr
Q8. On crossing of two heterozygous smooth seeded plants (Rr), a total of 1000 plants were
obtained in F1 generation. What will be the respective number of smooth and wrinkled seeds
obtained in F1 generation
(a) 750, 250
(b) 500, 500
(c) 800, 200
(d) 950, 50

Q9. Which of the following crosses will give 100% smooth seeds ?
(a) RR X rr
(b) Rr X rr
(c) RrX Rr
(d) rr X rr

Q10. Study the following cross and showing self-pollination in F1 , fill in the blank
and answer the question that follows
Parents RRYY x rryy
Round, yellow wrinkled, green
F1 — Rr Yy x RrYy
Round, yellow
(i) In question, what are the combinations of character in the F2 progeny?
What are their ratios?
The phenotypic ratio would be 9(Round Yellow):3(Round Green):3(Wrinkled
yellow):1(Wrinkled green).
(ii) Give the basic features of the mechanism of inheritance.
Law of independent assortment and law of dominance
(iii) Give reasons for the appearance of new combinations of characters in the
F2 progeny.
The appearance of new combinations among F2 progeny is due to the Law of Independent
Assortment.
The Law of Independent assortment states that alleles of two different genes get sorted
independently of one another.
The independently assorted genes recombine in the zygote to form new genetic combinations
in the F2 generation
