Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below.
Prashant wanted to find the genotype of a pea plant bearing purple coloured flowers in his kitchen garden. For this, he crossed purple flowered plant with white flowered plant. As a result, all plants which were produced had purple flower only. Upon selfing these plants, 75 purple flower plants and 25 white flower plants were produced. Now, he can determine the genotype of a purple flowered plant by crossing it with a white flowered plant.
  1. Which of the following cannot be derived from the crosses done by Prashant?
  1. Mendel's law of segregation.
  2. Mendel's law of dominance.
  3. Mendel's law of independent assortment.
  4. Both (a) and (c).
  1. To determine the genotype of a purple flowered plant, Prashant crossed this plant with a white flowered plant. This cross represents a?

  1. In white flowered plant, allele is expressed in?
  1. Heterozygous condition only.

  3. F3 generation.
  4. Both homozygous and heterozygous condition.
  1. The character, i.e., purple colour of the flowers that appeared in the first filial generation is called?
  1. Recessive character.
  2. Dominant character.
  3. Dominant character.
  4. Lethal character.
  1. Assertion: A geneticist crossed two plants and he obtained 50% purple flowered plants and 50% white flowered plants.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
Human male reproductive system comprises of a pair of testes, primary sex organs associated with formation of gametes and production of sex hormone. Study the given figure of human male reproductive system and answer the following questions.
  1. Which of the following is correct for labelled part P?
  1. P is rete testis which transports sperms to outside.
  2. P is epididymis which secretes fluid that nourish the sperms.
  3. P is epididymis that carry sperms and secretion of seminal vesicles.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
In angiosperms, the pollen grains are being transferred from the anther to the stigma and is termed pollination. This phenomenon was first discovered by Camerarius (1694) in the end of seventeenth century. Pollen grains are immobile. They cannot reach the stigma by themselves. An external agent is required for this. The pollination is mainly of two types-self pollination and cross pollination. The diagram given below shows two plants of the same species showing different types of pollination.
  1. What is transferred between the plants in the process indicated by arrow P?
  1. Ova.
  2. Pollen.
  3. Nutrients.
  4. Seeds.
  1. Which of the following statements is correct regarding processes P, Q and R?
  1. Processes P, Q and R introduce genetic variability in the offspring of sexually reproducing plants X and Y.
  2. Wind serves as agent for process Q if plants X and Y belong to Genus Salvia.
  3. Flowers of plants X and Y need to produce odour and nectar for completion of processes P and Q if they are entomophilous.
  4. If plants X and Y belong to Genus Cannabis, then their flowers need to produce sticky and heavy pollens in very small amount for accomplishment of process Q.
  1. Identify the processes P, Q and R.

  1. In Catliarantl1us, the growth of style brings the stigma in contact of ripe anthers present on the mouth of corolla tube. This is an example of:
  1. Homogamy.
  2. Cleistogamy.
  3. Geitonogamy.
  4. Xenogamy.
  1. Which of the given processes represents a type of pollination that would result in greater adaptability of the particular species to potential environmental changes?
