CLASS X / BIOLOGY ASSIGNMENT / CH - HEREDITY

1. Each trait in a child can be influenced by both paternal and maternal DNA. For each trait there will be
two versions in each child. What trait will be seen in the child then?

2. List the various contrasting characters found in a pea.

3. What is test cross? Why it is performed?

4. Give the dihybrid and monohybrid phenotypic ratio. What is the monohybrid genotypic ratio?

5. How does the mechanism of heredity work?

6. How do germ cells make a single set of genes from the normal two copies that all other cells in the
body have?

7. What is linkage? Under what circumstances can two genes be linked? Will the dihybrid ratio remain the
same?

8. List the factors that determine the sex of an individual. How does temperature affect the sex of an
animal? Give examples.

9. How do proteins control characters?

10. How is sex determined in humans?

11. Mendel crossed plants that bred for yellow seeds with plants that bred true for green seeds. All
seeds with the F1 generation were yellow. Work out the inheritance involved in this cross by using
symbols for the trait. Which trait was dominant?

12. Mendel crossed true breeding tall pea plants having purple flowers with short pea plants having
white flowers. Derive the genotype and phenotype of the progeny.

13. In a certain mammal, erect ears are dominant over drooping ears. In a cross between the two
types, out of the four produced in F2 generation, three had erect ears and one had drooping ears.
What is the genotype of the parents? Derive the F2 generation and mention the genotypic and
phenotypic ratio.

14. When a cross in made between tall plant with yellow seeds (TtYy) and tall plant with green seeds
(Ttyy), what proportions of phenotype in the offspring could be expected to be:
a. Tall and green
b. Dwarf and green

15. In dogs, black coat colour is dominant over white. What coloured dog will choose to breed with a given
black dog, in order to find its genotype? What is the cross known as?
