Question
Different animals respond to changes in their surroundings in different ways. Taking one example each, explain "some animals undergo aestivation while some others hibernation". How do fungi respond to adverse climatic conditions?
✓
Answer
Some animals go into aestivation to avoid summer related problems (heat and dessication), eg. snails/fish.
Some animals go into hibernation to avoid winter related problem (extreme cold) eg. bear.
Fungi form thick walled spores and suspend their activities to respond to adverse climatic condition.

In peas, tallness is dominant over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated with a dwarf plant bearing white flowers, the different phenotypic groups were obtained in the progeny in numbers mentioned against them:
Tall, Red = 138
Tall, White = 132
Dwarf, Red = 136
Dwarf, White = 128
Mention the genotypes of the two parents and of the four offspring types.
