1.

The plants bearing round yellow coloured (RrYy) seeds are self pollinated. Represent the result obtained in the F_(2) generation of dihybrid cross with the help of a checker board. Mention the varieties of plants obtained in F_(2) generation. OR What is evolution ? Explain the three evidences for evolution.

Answer»

Solution : OR
Evolution is the process of change from simple life forms to complex Life forms by gradual change. It is generating DIVERSITY and SHAPING the diversity.
Three factors / evidences and their roles.
(i) Analogous organs : The analogous organs have different basic design and structurebut perform similar functions. e.g., The wings of insects and the wings of birds.
(ii) Homologous organs : The homologous organs have similar basic design and structure but perform different functions. e.g., Forelimbs of a frog, lizard, bird and man
(iii) Fossils: Allow us to make estimates of how FAR back evolutionary relationships GO. Fossils when chronologically arranged help in TRACING the evolutionary history of an organism. e.g., Archaeopteryx looks like a bird but it bears many characters of reptiles. This proves that birds have evolved from reptiles.
