1. In human beings, the females have two X chromosomes and the males have one X and one Y chromosome. Therefore, the females are XX and the males are XY. The gametes, as we know, receive half of the chromosomes. The male gametes have 22 autosomes and either X or Y sex chromosome. Type of male gametes:Read more

    In human beings, the females have two X chromosomes and the males have one X and one Y chromosome. Therefore, the females are XX and the males are XY.
    The gametes, as we know, receive half of the chromosomes. The male gametes have 22 autosomes and either X or Y sex chromosome.
    Type of male gametes: 22+X OR 22+ Y.
    However, since the females have XX sex chromosomes, their gametes can only have X sex chromosome.
    Type of female gamete: 22+X
    Thus, the mother provides only X chromosomes. The sex of the baby is determined by the type of male gamete (X or Y) that fuses with the X chromosome of the female.

  2. No. This information is not sufficient to determine which of the traits - blood group A or O - is dominant. This is because we do not know about the blood group of all the progeny. Blood group A can be genotypically AA or AO. Hence, the information is incomplete to draw any such conclusion.

  3. Mendel crossed pure breeding tall plants having round seeds with pure breeding short plants having wrinkled seeds. The plants of F1 generation were all tall with round seeds indicating that the traits of tallness and round seeds were dominant. Self breeding of F1 yielded plants with characters of 9Read more

    Mendel crossed pure breeding tall plants having round seeds with pure breeding short plants having wrinkled seeds. The plants of Fgeneration were all tall with round seeds indicating that the traits of tallness and round seeds were dominant. Self breeding of F1 yielded plants with characters of 9 tall round seeded, 3 tall wrinkled seeded , 3 short round seeded and one short wrinkled seeded. Tall wrinkled seeded and short round seeded plants are new combinations which can develop only when the traits are inherited independently.

  4. The trait which appears in all the members of F1 generation and also in 75% numbers of F2 generation obtained by self fertilization of F1 generation is dominant character. The trait which does not appear in F generation but after self-fertilization of F1 generation, reappears in 25% of F2 generationRead more

    The trait which appears in all the members of Fgeneration and also in 75% numbers of F2 generation obtained by self fertilization of F1 generation is dominant character.
    The trait which does not appear in F generation but after self-fertilization of F1 generation, reappears in 25% of F2 generation is known as recessive.

  5. Because the image is real, so magnification m must be negative. m = -v/u -3 = -v/-10 v = -30 Thus the image is located at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror.

    Because the image is real, so magnification m must be negative.
    m = -v/u
    -3 = -v/-10
    v = -30

    Thus the image is located at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror.
