Who was the first to use statistical analysis and mathematical logics for solving biological problems?
(1) Francis crick
(2) Gregor Mendel
(3) Hugo de vries
(4) W. Bateson
Gregor Mendel is known for
(1) Species concept
(2) Hybridisation experiments
(3) Discovery of chromosomes
(4) Experiments on maize plant
The total number of pure lines prepared by Mendel for his hybridization experinent in garden pea plant for seven characters were
1. 7
2. 14
3. 2
4. 22
How many pairs of contrasting traits studied by Mendel were related to pod?
(1) 1
(2) 2
(3) 3
(4) 4
Among the given pea plant traits identify the odd one
(1) Violet flower
(2) Yellow seed
(3) Yellow pod
(4) Axial flower position
Mendel was born in
(1) 19th century.
(2) 18th century.
(3) 17th century.
(4) 20th century.
Our ancestors knew about the inheritance of characters and variations because-
(1) They selectively breed plants and animals and selected for organisms that possessed desirable characters.
(2) They introduced mutations
(3) They performed natural hybridisation
(4) All of the above
Mendel's work on Pisum sativum shows that
1. Alleles show blending inheritance
2. resembled either of the two parents
3. In a dissimilar pair of factors, members of the pair are codominant
4. Genotype of tall plant can be determined by cross with recessive parent
Mendel published his work on inheritance of characters in 1865 but it remained unrecognised till 1900 because :-
(a) | He could not provide any physical proof for the existence of factors |
(b) | His concept of factors as stable, discrete units that controlled the expression of traits did not find acceptance from the contemporaries |
(c) | Mendel's approach of using mathematics to explain biological phenomena was totally old |
(d) | Communication was not easy (as it is now) |
1. (a), (b) & (c) are correct
2. (c) & (d) are correct
3. (a), (b) & (d) are correct
4. Only (a) is correct
