How do Mendel’s experiments show that the(a) traits may be dominant or recessive.(b) traits are inherited independently.
To perform an experiment to identify the different parts of an embryo of a dicot seed, first of all you require a dicot seed. Select dicot seeds from the following group:Wheat, Gram, Maize, Pea, Barley, Ground-nut(A) Wheat, Gram and Pea(B) Gram, Pea and Ground-nut(C) Maize, Pea and Barley(D) Gram, Maize and Ground-nut
Can plant only grow from the seed ?
How is the seed sown?
The part of a seed which grows and develops into root on germination is:(a) cotyledon (b) plumule (c) follicle (d) radicle
What are the different agents which help in seed dispersal?
What is the difference between stalk fibres and seed fibres?
A cross between a tall plant (TT) and short plant (tt) resulted in progeny that were all tall plants because:(a) tallness is the dominant trait (b) shortness is the dominant trait(c) tallness is the recessive trait (d) height of plant is not governed by gene T or t
A person first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only A-B type of seeds were produced in the F1 generation. When F1 generation pea plants having A-B type of seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round-yellow and wrinkled-green seeds, two new varieties A-D and C-B type of seeds were also obtained.(a) What are A-B type of seeds? (b) State whether A and B are dominant traits or recessive traits. (c) What are A-D type of seeds? (d) What are C-B type of seeds? (e) Out of A-B and A-D types of seeds, which one will be produced in (i) minimum numbers, and (ii) maximum numbers, in the F2 generation?
The correct sequence of reproductive stages occurring in flowering plants is:(a) gametes, zygote, embryo, seed (b) zygote, gametes, embryo, gametes(c) seed, embryo, zygote, gametes (d) gametes, embryo, zygote, seed
Mendel first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only round-yellow seeds were produced in the F1 generation. When F1 generation pea plants having round-yellow seeds were cross-bred by self pollination, then peas having round-yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled-yellow seeds and wrinkled-green seeds were produced. Mendel collected a total of 2160 seeds.(a) What will be the number of (i) round green seeds (ii) wrinkled green seeds (iii) round yellow seeds, and (iv) wrinkled-yellow seeds? (b) Which 'ratio' as established by Mendel have you made use of in answering the part (a) above?
What Is Synthetic Seed Technology?
Mendel, In One of His Experiments with Pea Plants, Crossed A Variety of Pea Plant Having Round Seeds with One Having Wrinkled Seeds. State Mendel Observations Giving Reasons of F1 and F2 Progeny of This Cross. Also, List Any Two Contrasting Characters, Other Than the Round Seeds of Pea Plants That Mendel Used in His Experiments.
Explain Seed Drills and Funnel
A food chain comprises of cat, seed-eating bird, plants, and dog. The organism which will have the maximum concentration of harmful pesticides coming through the food chain is most likely to be :(a) cat (b) plants (c) dog (d) seed-eating bird
