1.

(a) Name the two types of gametes produced by men

(b) Does a male child inherit X chromosome from his father? Justify
© How many types of gametes are produced by a human female? Name them.
2. A green stemmed rose plant denoted by GG and a brown stemmed rose plant denoted by gg
are allowed to undergo a cross with each other.
(a) List your observations regarding :
(i) Colour of stem in their F1 progeny
(ii) Percentage of brown stemmed plants in F2 progeny if plants are self pollinated.
(iii) Ratio of GG and Gg in the F2 progeny.
(b) Based on the findings of this cross, what conclusion can be drawn?
Or
A scientist performed an experiment to study the inheritance pattern of genes. He crossed
homozygous pea plant having axial flowers with homozygous pea plant having terminal
flowers.
(a) Identify and write the dominant and recessive traits?
(b) Why did Mendel choose garden pea for his experiment? Mention 2 reasons?
(c) What will be the % of homozygous and heterozygous plants with axial flowers in F2
generation? Write the genotype of ((i) parents (ii) F1 progeny

Or
A scientist crosses a pure breed pea plant with violet flower and pure breed pea plant with
white flower and gets all pea plant with violet flowers in F1 generation. On self cross of F1
generation pea plant is done , then we obtain pea plant of F2 generation.
(a) name and define the type of cross mentioned?
(b) Identify and write the dominant and recessive traits?
(c) With the help of cross , show the genotype of F1 generation and what would be the % of
homozygous violet and heterozygous violet flowered plants?
(d) On crossing of 2 heterozygous violet flowered plants (Vv) , a total of 1000 plants were
obtained. What will the number of white flowered plants obtained?
(e) Make a flowchart to depict the cross.

3. It is a matter of chance whether a couple will have a male or a female child.” Justify this
statement by drawing a flow chart.
4. 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 phenotype of F1 progeny. Give reason for your answer.
(b) Write the different types of F2 progeny obtained along with their ratio when F1 progeny
was selfed.
5. Write 2 differences between acquired traits and inherited traits with example.
6. Define :-
