X, Y, and Z are three animals. The animal X can fly but animal Y can only run on ground or walls. The forelimbs of animals X and Y have the same basic design but they are used for different purposes such as flying and running respectively. The animal Z became extinct an long time ago. The study of fossils of Z tells us that it had some features like those of X and some like those of Y. In fact, Z is said to form a connecting link in the evolutionary chain of X and Y.
- What could the animals X, Y and Z be?
- What name is given to the forelimbs like those of X and Y which have the same basic design but different functions?
- Name one feature in which Z resembled X.
- Name one feature in which Z resembled Y.
- Which is the correct evolutionary chain involving X, Y and Z : X → Z → Y or Y → Z → X?

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 $F_1$ generation. When $F_1$ 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 $F_2$ generation?
