    HEREDITY WORKSHEET 1
    1. What is monohybrid cross?
    2. What are autosomes and sex chromosomes?
    3. Which of the following scientist gave the principles of inheritance?
    a) Mendel b) Griffith c) Johanssen d) Watson and Crick
    4. The genetic constitution of an organism is called.
    a) Genotype b) phenotype c) variation d) gene.
    5. Two pink coloured flowers on crossing results in 1red, 2pink and 1white flower progeny. The nature of
    the cross is-
    a) cross fertilization b) self-pollination c) double fertilization d) no fertilization
    6. Mendel proposed that every character is controlled by-
    a) one factor b) two factors c) one chromosome d) two chromosomes
    7. Genetics is the study of-
    a) resemblances amongst individuals c) heredity and environment
    b) differences amongst individuals d) heredity and variations.
    8. Write the scientific name of the plant on which Mendel carried out his experiments.
    9. Who is called father of genetics?
    10. 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 make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as
    (a) TTWW b) TTww c) TtWW d) TtWw
    11. What happened when Mendel crossed two traits of a character in a pea plants?
    12. A normal pea plant bearing coloured flowers suddenly start producing white flowers. What could be the
    possible cause?
    13. Mention any two recessive traits of garden pea.
    14. What will be the percentage of ab gametes produced by AaBb parent?
    15. Mendel crossed a pure white recessive pea plant with a dominant pure red flowered plant. What will be the
    first-generation f hybrids?
    16. Give the pair of contrasting traits of the following characters in plant and mention which one is recessive
    and which is dominant?
    (a) yellow seed
    (b) round seed
    17. Mention the compliment of a sperm and the egg which will determine the birth of female child
    18. Why acquired characters are not inherited?
    19. How is the chromosome number restored in zygote?
    20. Outline a project which aims to find the dominant coat colour in dogs
    21. Write difference between Autosomes and Allosomes
    22. The gene type of green stemmed tomato plants is denoted as GG and that of purple stemmed tomato plants
    as GG when these two are crossed.
    i. Give the percentage of purple stemmed plants if F are self-pollinated.
    ii. In what ratio would you find the gene types CG and Gg in the F progeny?
    23. Is it true that when a new species is emerged, the old species is eliminated and why?
    24. How is the equal genetic contribution of male and female parents ensured in the progeny?
    25. A study found that children with light-coloured eyes are likely to have parents with light coloured eyes. On
    this basis, can we say anything about whether the light eye colour trait is dominant or recessive? Why or
    why not?
    26. A man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is
    this information enough to tell you which of the traits-blood group A or O- is dominant? Why or why not?
    27. A woman with blonde curly hair married a man with black soft hair. All of their children in first generation
    had black soft hair but in next generation children had different combinations in the ratio of 9:3:3:1. State
    the law that governs this Expression
    28. If the sperm bearing Y-chromosome fertilizes the egg, the child born will not be entirely like his father.
    Why is it so?
    29. When Mendel crossed a tall plant with a dwarf plant, no medium height plants were obtained in F
    generation. Why?
    30. What will be the sex of a baby if sperm carrying X chromosome fertilizes egg in human beings? Why?
