Class 10 Practice - Level 3 - Heredity And Evolution - Set 1
Total questions: 15
1.
In a population of plants, a single gene controls flower colour with incomplete dominance. If the allele for red flowers (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), what is the expected phenotypic ratio of offspring from a cross between two heterozygous plants (Rr)?
Topic:
Heredity
1 red: 2 pink: 1 white
3 red: 1 white
1 red: 1 pink: 2 white
2 red: 2 white
None
2.
Which evolutionary concept is illustrated by the gradual accumulation of small genetic changes in a population over long periods?
Topic:
Evolution
Punctuated equilibrium
Gradualism
Genetic drift
Adaptive radiation
None
3.
A woman with blood type A (genotype IAi) and a man with blood type B (genotype IBi) have a child. What are the possible blood types of their child?
Topic:
Heredity
A and B only
AB only
A, B, AB, and O
AB and O only
None
4.
Which of the following best explains the concept of genetic hitchhiking?
Topic:
Evolution
The process by which harmful alleles increase in frequency due to genetic drift
The increase in frequency of a neutral or slightly deleterious allele due to linkage with a beneficial allele
The migration of individuals between populations, causing gene flow
The reduction of genetic variation in a population due to inbreeding
None
5.
In a genetic linkage map, what does a recombination frequency of 50% between two genes indicate?
Topic:
Heredity
The genes are very close together on the same chromosome.
The genes are on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.
The genes are located on sex chromosomes.
The genes are located in the same operon.
None
6.
What is the primary difference between allopatric and sympatric speciation?
Topic:
Evolution
Allopatric speciation requires geographic isolation, while sympatric speciation occurs without geographic isolation.
Allopatric speciation involves genetic drift, while sympatric speciation involves natural selection.
Allopatric speciation occurs rapidly, while sympatric speciation occurs slowly.
Allopatric speciation is common in plants, while sympatric speciation is common in animals.
None
7.
Which of the following describes the role of a transcription factor in gene expression?
Topic:
Heredity
It carries amino acids to the ribosome.
It acts as a template for RNA synthesis.
It binds to DNA and regulates the transcription of specific genes.
It catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds.
None
8.
Which of the following processes can lead to the rapid evolution of a population in response to a sudden environmental change?
Topic:
Evolution
Genetic drift
Gene flow
Bottleneck effect
Natural selection
None
9.
What is the significance of the discovery of restriction enzymes in molecular biology?
Topic:
Heredity
They allow the amplification of DNA.
They facilitate the sequencing of proteins.
They enable the cutting of DNA at specific sequences.
They assist in the replication of RNA.
None
10.
Which of the following is a consequence of gene flow between populations?
Topic:
Evolution
Increased genetic diversity within populations
Increased genetic divergence between populations
Increased mutation rates
Increased genetic drift
None
11.
How does RNA interference (RNAi) regulate gene expression?
Topic:
Heredity
By degrading mRNA molecules
By modifying DNA sequences
By altering ribosome structure
By changing the rate of transcription
None
12.
Which of the following best describes a ring species?
Topic:
Evolution
A single species with a circular distribution and continuous gene flow
A single species that has undergone allopatric speciation
A species that exhibits both radial and bilateral symmetry
A species with no genetic variation
None
13.
In a dihybrid cross, what is the probability of obtaining an offspring that is homozygous recessive for both traits (aabb) if both parents are heterozygous for both traits (AaBb)?
Topic:
Heredity
1/16
1/8
3/16
¼
None
14.
Which of the following best describes the concept of an evolutionary arms race?
Topic:
Evolution
The simultaneous extinction of multiple species
The coevolution of competing species with reciprocal adaptations
The development of genetic diversity within a single population
The gradual accumulation of neutral mutations
None
15.
Which of the following best describes the process of DNA methylation?
Topic:
Heredity
The addition of acetyl groups to histone proteins
The addition of phosphate groups to DNA
The addition of methyl groups to cytosine bases in DNA
The removal of nucleotides from DNA
None
