Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
During a study of inheritance of two genes, teacher asked students to perform an experiment. The students crossed white eyed, yellow bodied female Drosophila with a red eyed, brown bodied male Drosophila (i.e., wild). They observed that progenies in $F_2$ generation had 1.3 percent recombinants and 98.7 percent parental type combinations. The experimental cross with results is shown in the given figure. [Note: Dominant wild type alleles are represented with (+) sign in superscript]
  1. By conducting the given experiment, teacher can conclude that
  1. Genes for eye colour and body colour are linked
  2. Genes for eye colour and body colour show complete linkage
  3. Linked gene remain together and are inherited.
  1. A and B only
  2. B only
  3. A and C only
  4. A, Band C
  1. Teacher asked to conduct an experiment on Drosophila because.
  1. The male and female flies are easily distinguishable.
  2. It completes its life cycle in about two weeks.
  3. A single mating could produce a large number of progeny flies.
  4. All of these
  1. Genes white eyed and yellow bodied located very close to one another on the same chromosome tend to be transmitted together are called.
  1. Allelomorphs.
  2. Identical genes.
  3. Iinked genes.
  4. Recessive genes.
  1. Select the correct statement regarding the given experiment.
  1. The physical distance between two genes determines strength of linkage.
  2. The physical distance between two genes determines frequency of crossing over.
  3. The two linked genes always segregate independently of each other.
  4. Both (a) and (b)
  1. Assertion: When yellow bodied, white eyed Drosophila females were hybridised with brown-bodied, red eyed males and $F_1$ progeny was intercrossed, $F_2$ ratio deviated from 9 : 3 : 3 : 1.
Reason : When two genes in a dihybrid are on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations are much higher than the non-parental type
  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
The first menstruation is called menarche, that usually occurs between 12 and 15 years. In human females, menstruation is repeated at an average interval of about 28/29 days and is called menstrual cycle. It is regulated by certain hormones, as pituitary gland is stimulated by releasing factors produced in the hypothalamus. The hormones produced by pituitary gland influence the ovaries. The hormones secreted by the ovaries affect the walls of the uterus.
  1. The breakdown of endometrium is characteristic of:
  1. Proliferative phase.
  2. Luteal phase.
  3. Ovulatory phase.
  4. Menstrual phase.
  1. Which days of the menstrual cycle marks the proliferative phase?
  1. 1-5
  2. 15-28
  3. 6-13
  4. 10-14
  1. Which of the following occurs during secretory phase?
  1. Empty Graafian follicle changes into corpus luteum.
  2. Primary follicle changes into Graafian follicle.
  3. Endometrium rebuilds and estrogen secretion increases.
  4. LH surge, inducing release of an ovum.
  1. Identify the hormones that attain peak level during ovulatory phase.
  1. FSH.
  2. Progesterone.
  3. LH.
  4. Both (a) and (c).
  1. Withdrawal of which hormone causes degeneration of corpus luteum?
  1. FSH.
  2. LH.
  3. Progesterone.
  4. Estrogen.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
Gene manipulation is a fast emerging science. It started with development of recombinant DNA molecule. It is named variously as DNA manipulation biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering. This technology, that mostly involves cutting and pasting of desired DNA fragments, is based on two important discoveries in bacteria, i.e., presence of plasmid in bacteria and restriction endonucleases. Paul Berg was able to introduce a gene ofSV-40 into a bacterium. The science of recombinant DNA technology took birth when Cohen and Boyer (1973) were able to introduce a piece of gene containing foreign DNA into plasmid of E.coli.
  1. Biotechnology is also known as:
  1. DNA manipulation biotechnology.
  2. Recombinant DNA technology.
  3. Genetic engineering.
  4. All of these.
  1. A bacterial plasmid is a/ an,
  1. Extra chromosomal material that do not replicate.
  2. Extra chromosomal material that undergo replication with or without chromosomal DNA.
  3. Tubular structures that help in conjugation.
  4. Bristle like solid structure that help in adhesion.
  1. Father of genetic engineering is:
  1. Paul Berg.
  2. Arber.
  3. Nathan.
  4. Smith.
  1. Which of the following is used by Paul Berg to introduce a gene of SV-40 in a bacterium?
  1. E. coli.
  2. cos-plasmids.
  3. Lambda phage.
  4. None of these.
  1. Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Assertion: Biotechnology started with the development of recombinant DNA molecule.

Reason: Biotechnology mostly involves cutting and pasting of desired DNA fragments.
  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. Both assertion and reason are false.
