Question : In one of his experiments with pea plants Mendel observed that when a pure tall pea plant is crossed with a pure dwarf pea plant, in the first generation, F_1 only tall plants appear. (a) What happens to the traits of the dwarf plants in this case? (b) When the F_1 generation plants were self-fertilised, he observed that in the plants of second generation, F_2 both tall plants and dwarf plants were present. Why it happened? Explain briefly.

Answer»

Solution :(a) The dwarf traits of the PLANTS is not expressed in the PRESENCE of the DOMINANT tall trait.
(B) In the `F_2` generation, both the tall and dwarf traits are PRESENT in the ratio of 3:1. This showed that the traits for tallness and dwarfness are present in the `F_1` generation, but the dwarfness, being the recessive trait does not express itself in the presence of tallness, the dominant trait.

Question : (i) A husband has 46 chromosomes, his wife has 46 chromosomes. Then why don't their offsprings have 46 pairs of chromosomes, which is obtained by the fusion of male and female gametes? (ii) "Geographical isolation is not a major factor in the speciation of a self pollinating plant species." Justify this statement with the help of an example.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Male individual has 46 chromosomes but because the gametes are always haploid 1.e., they have half the number of chromosomes, sperms will be haploid (23 chromosomes). Female individual also contains only 23 chromosomes in egg. It is the FUSION of this sperm and egg which leads to an offspring with 46 chromosomes.
(ii) GEOGRAPHICAL isolation will not be a MAJOR FACTOR in the speciation of a self-pollinating plant species. It involves the same flower / plant from where male and female gametes are formed.
