Answer :D
15202.

Question : In the following pedigreechart, the mutant trait is shaded black. The gene responsible for the trait is

Answer»

dominant and sex linked
dominant and autosomal
RECESSIVE and sexlinked
recessive and autosomal

Solution :The given trait cannot be sex-linked as sex-linked traits follow criss-cross inheritance and in the given PEDIGREE, no criss-cross inheritance us being followed.
The trait exhibited in pedigree chart is autosomal recessive. An autosomal recessive trait APPEARS in case of marriage between two heterozygous individuals `(Aa xx Aa = 3 Aa + 1 aa`), a recessive individual with hybrid `(Aa xx aa = 2 Aa + 2aa)` and two recessives `(aa xx aa = all aa)`. It expresses its effect only in pure or HOMOZYGOUS state
If the trait had been controlled by dominant gene, then one of the PARENT must have possessed the dominant gene and hence the disease.

Question : In the figure given below the plant bears two different types of flowers marked .A. and .B.. Identify the types of flowers and state the type of pollination that will occur in them.

Answer»

Solution : .A. is chasmogamous flower while .B. is cleistrogamous flower. A bisexual flower which normally open is called chasmogamous flower. Cleistogamous flowers do not open at all.
Cleistogamous flowers are INVARIABLY autogamous as there is no CHANCE of cross - POLLEN landing on the stigma.
In a normal flower which opens and EXPOSES the anthers and stigma cmplete autogamy is rather RATE. Chasmogamous flower may show autogamy, geithonogamy or xenogamy.

Question : In the event of global warming, which one of the following is most likely to occur ?

Answer»

Existing plant and animal communities will move North in REPONSE to warming.
Agriculture in the Prairie provinces will be redeveloped on soils of the Canadian Shield.
The anticipated rise in sea level will be caused primarily by the melting of polar ice caps.
The decomposition of organic matter in the unfrozen surface layer of polar soils will increase.

Solution :It is believed that increase in concentration of greenhouse gases has resulted in rise of atmospheric temperature which is slight in tropics, moderate in middle latitudes and maximum in polar regions. Global warming could raise sea level due to thermal expansion of sea water, melting of glaciers and Greenland ice sheet.There is a danger of submersion of large area s one third of human population lives within 60 KM of coastline. Coastal salt MARSHES and estuaries, wetlands, drylands, freshwater supplies, FISHERIES, fish breding areas and other types of wildlife will undergo extinction.

Question : In the diagram given below, show the path of a pollen tube from the pollen on the stigma into the embryo sac. Name the components of egg apparatus

Answer»

Solution :After properly suitable POLLINATION, pollen grain germinates on anther and out of all germpores, pollen tube is produced in one of the germpore. The fluid of pollen grain along with two nuclei located in pollen grain reaches to pollen tube. Pollen tube grows by PASSING from the tissue of anther. When it enters into embryo sac by micropyle at that time pollen tube enters by filiform appraratus then a synergid cell decomposes. Pollen tube breaks to release its material located in pollen tube. Two MALE GAMETES are released.
Among them one does syngamy with egg cell and other male gemete perform syngamy with central cell thus is gets fertilised. Two synergid cells, an egg cell and filiforms apparatus are PRESENT as parts of egg apparatus located in embryo sac

Question : In the developmental history of mammalian heart. It is observed that it passes through a two chambered fish like heart, three chambered frog like heart and finally four chambered stage. To which hypothesis can this above cited statement be approximated?

Answer»

Lamrack's principle
Mendelian principle
BIOGENETIC LAW
HARDY Weinberg law

Solution :Biogenetic law or Recaptiulation theory was given by Ernst HAECKEL in 1866. It states that ontogeny repeasts phylogeny. Ontogeny is the life history of an ORGANISM while phylogeny is the evolutionary history of an organism while organism. This means that an organism repeats its ancestral history during its development.
