Q.1 Name the organism Mendel used for his experiments. Explain about F 1 and F2 progeny
obtained by Mendel when he bred tall and short varieties of the organism he experimented
with.

Q.2 Genotype of a plant bearing purple flowers is PP and one with white flowers is pp. When
these are crossed :
(a) What colour of the flowers would you find in F 1 progeny ?
(b) Give the percentage of white flowers if F 1 plants are self pollinated.
(c) In what ratio would you find PP and Pp in F 2 progeny ? Draw flow chart in support of your
answer.

Q.3 In a monohybrid cross of tall Pea plants denoted by TT and short pea plants denoted by
tt, Preeti obtained only tall plants (denoted by Tt) in F 1 generation. However, in F2 generation
she obtained both tall and short plants. Using the above information, explain the law of
dominance.

Q.4 Why are some Pea plants tall and others short in nature ? Explain with reference to role
of genes in controlling characteristics.

Q.5 One plant with dominant tall height bearing purple flowers crossed with another plant
with recessive dwarf and white flowers.
(a) What do the plants of F1 generation look like ?
(b) What type of cross is it ?
(c) What is the phenotypic ratio in F2 generation and name the type of plants obtained
according to phenotypic ratio.

Q.6 Guinea pig having black colour when crossed with guinea pig having same colour
produced 100 offspring, out of which 75 were black and 25 were white. Now find out
(a) What is the possible genotype of the guinea pig ?
(b) Which trait is dominant and which is recessive ?
(c) What is this cross called as and what is the ratio of F 2 progeny obtained from this cross ?

Q.7 (a) Name an animal which can change sex. What does it indicate ?
(b) How is the sex of some animals are determined by temperature ,explain by giving
examples.

Q.8 A cross was made between pure breeding pea plants one with round and green seeds
and the other with wrinkled and yellow seeds.
(a) Write the genotype of F1 progeny. Give reason for your answer.
(b) Write the different types of F2 progeny obtained alongwith their ratios when F 1 progeny
was selfed.
Q.9 “Sex of a new born is a matter of chance and none of the parents may be considered
responsible for it”. Justify this statement with the help of flow chart showing determination of
sex of a new born.

Q.10 Mendel studied the inheritance pattern of traits in a Pea plant. According to this
study, he obtained 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio of certain traits in progeny of F2 generation.
Based on it answer these questions :

1. What trait did he study ? How do they represent themselves. .


2. What was the trait of F1 progeny ?
3. Which rule does this inheritance pattern suggest ?
