To determie the genotype of a tall plant of `F_(2)` generation, Mendel crossed this plant with a dwarf plant. This cross represents aA. test crossB. back crossC. reciprocal crossD. dihybrid cross |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A To determine the genotype of a tall plant of `F_(2)` generation, Mendel crossed the tall plant from `F_(2)` gneration with a dwarf plant. He called this a test cross. In a typical test cross an organism (pea plants) showing a dominant phenotype whose genotype is to be determined is crossed with the recessive parent instead of self-crossing. The progenies of such a cross can easily be analysed to predict the genotype of the test organism. Normal test cross ratio for a monohybrid cross is `1:1` and for a dihybrid cross is `1:1:1:1`. |

In Antirrhinum (dog flower), phenotypic ratio in `F_(2)` generation for the inheritance of flower colour would beA. `3:1`B. `1:2:1`C. `1:1`D. `2:1` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B The inheritance of flower colour in the Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon or dog flower) is an example of incomple or partial dominance. Imcomplete dominance is the phenomenon in which neither of the two alleles of a gene is completely dominant over the other. In a cross between true-breeding red-flowered (RR) and true-breeding white-flowered plants (rr)m the `F_(1)` plants obtained were pink (Rr) coloured. When the `F_(1)` plants were self-pollinated, the `F_(2)` generation resulted in the ratio, 1 (RR) Red : 2 (Rr) Pink : 1 (rr) white. The phenotypic ratios had changed from the normal 3 : 1 dominant : recessive ratio to `1:2:1` R. was not completelt dominant over r and this made it possible to distinguish Rr (pink) from RR (red) and rr (white). |

Read the given statements and select the correct option Statement 1 : The law of segregation is one of the most important contributions to the biology Statement 2 : It introduced the concept of heredity factors as discrete physical entities which do not become blended.A. Both statements 1 and 2 are correctB. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrectC. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correctD. Both statement 1 and 2 are incorrect |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A The principlem of segregation is the most fundamental principle of heredity that has universal application with no exception. Some workers like Bateson call the principal of segregation as the principle of purity of gametes because segregation of the two Mendelian factors of a trait result result in ametes receiving only one factor out of a pair. As a result gametes are always pure for a character. It is also known as law of non-mixing of alleles and can be demostrated through a monohybrid cross. |

Explain hydrogen spectrum on the basis of Bohr's theory |
|
Answer» In an atom, electrons (negatively charged) revolve around the positively charged nucleus in a definite circular path called as orbits or shells. Each orbit or shell has a fixed energy and these circular orbits are known as orbital shells. Niels Bohr explained the line spectrum of the hydrogen atom by assuming that the electron moved in circular orbits and that orbits with only certain radii were allowed. The orbit closest to the nucleus represented the ground state of the atom and was most stable; orbits farther away were higher-energy excited states. |

When a mass M is attached to the spring of force constant K, then the spring stretches by l . If the mass oscillates with a amplitude l. What will be maximum p.e stored in the spring |
|
Answer» We know that when the mass is suspended, the spring stretches by l, then Mg=kl. And energy stored in spring = kl2/2 = (kl)l/2 = Mgl/2. When the spring oscillates at the maximum displacement, additional potential energy stored = kl2/2 = Mgl/2. Therefore maximum potential energy or total potential energy = Mgl/2+Mgl/2 = Mgl |
