  1. Question 1

    2024

    24
    Mendel crossed pea plants with two pairs of contrasting characters. RRYY ×\times rryy Round, Yellow \qquad Wrinkled, Green He observed 4 types of combinations in F2\mathrm{F_2} generation. Which of the combinations were new ? Write the conclusion drawn by this experiment.
  2. Question 2

    2024

    23
    Mendel crossed a round and yellow seeded pea plant with a wrinkled and green seeded pea plant. What did the plants of F1\mathrm{F_1} generation look like in terms of shape and colour of seed ? On self-pollinating F1\mathrm{F_1} generation plants, plants with four types of combinations of characters were seen in F2\mathrm{F_2} generation. Write the combinations along with their ratios.
  3. Question 3

    2025

    30
    A pure pea plant having round (R), yellow (Y) seeds is crossed with another pure pea plant having wrinkled (r), green (y) seeds. Subsequently F1\mathrm{F_1} progeny is self-pollinated to obtain F2\mathrm{F_2} progeny. (a) What do the seeds of F1\mathrm{F_1} generation look like ? (b) Give the possible combinations of traits in seeds of F2\mathrm{F_2} generation. Also give their ratio. (c) State the reason of obtaining seeds of new combination of traits in F2\mathrm{F_2} generation.
  4. Question 4

    2026

    13
    Based on Mendel’s experiment show the cross between round, yellow seeds of pea plant (RRYY) with wrinkled and green seeds of pea plant (rryy) upto F2\mathrm{F_2} generation. Write the number of seeds/plants with following genetic (Genotype) makeup in F2\mathrm{F_2} generation : (i) RRYY (ii) rryy
