Complete the following in notebook;

Question 1. Give the basic features of the mechanism of inheritance.

Answer. Basic features for the mechanism of Inheritance are as follows:

1. Characters are controlled by genes,

2. Each gene controls one character.
3. Genes are located oh chromosomes.
4. There may be two or more forms of gene.
5. An individual possess two forms of genes whether similar or dissimilar.
6. One form may be dominant over the other.
7. The two alleles separate at the time of gamete formation.
8. The two forms are brought together in the zygote.
9. Alleles of different genes located on separate chromosomes behave independent of one
another.

Question 2. Give reasons for the appearance of new combinations of characters in the F2
progeny.
Answer. An organism can inherit each character independently. So, in the F2 progeny new
combination of character appears. Tall/ Short and Round/Wrinkled seed trait are independently
inherited.

Question 3. Evolution has exhibited a greater stability of molecular structure when compared
with morphological structures. Comment on the statement and justify your opinion.
Answer. There is immense diversity in size, form, structure and morphological features in the living
world. At the molecular level, these diverse types of organisms exhibit similarity of the basic bio
molecules like DNA, RNA, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.

Question 4. Study the following cross and showing self-pollination in Flf fill in the blank and
answer the question that follows (Q12, Q13 and Q14):
Answer. Rr Yy Round, yellow.

Question 5. In previous question, what are the combinations of character in the F2 progeny?
What are their ratios?
Answer. Round yellow – 9, Round green – 3, Wrinkled yellow – 3 Wrinkled green – 1, Le. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1.

Dear students,
Write the following question and answers in your note book.

1. State and explain Mendeleev’s periodic law.

Answer:
According to Mendeleev’s periodic law “Physical and chemical properties of elements are
periodic function of their atomic masses”.

If elements are arranged in the increasing order of atomic masses, elements with similar
properties lies after a certain interval in the periodic table.

2. Write two main characteristics of Mendeleev’s periodic table and write name of elements of
second period.
Answer:
two main characteristics of Mendeleev’s periodic table are:
(i) It consists of 8 vertical columns called groups and 6 horizontal rows, called period.
(ii) In every period, elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic masses.
 3. List three main anomalies of Mendeleev’s classification of elements.
Answer:
Anomalies or defects of Mendeleev’s periodic classification of elements are as follows:

• Position of hydrogen.
• Position of isotopes: Isotopes of an element were not assigned separate places.
• Elements which are chemically similar such as gold and platinum have been placed in separate
groups.

4. Why did Mendeleev leave some gaps in his Periodic Table?

Answer:
Mendeleev left some gaps in is Periodic Table for the elements yet to be discovered. He even
predicted the properties of these elements by studying the properties of the neighbouring
elements.
5. What do you understand by the term periodicity? Does the periodicity in properties is a function
of valence electrons? Illustrate.
Answer:
When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers, elements with similar
chemical propertiers are repeated at definite intervals. This is known as periodicity. Yes, this
periodicity is due to the periodicity in the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the
atoms of the elements. If elements having the same number of valence electrons are grouped
together, the elements falling within each group are similar in chemical properties.

6. (a) State modern periodic law.

(b) What are the advantages of the long form of the periodic table over Mendeleev’s periodic
table?
Answer:
(a) According to modern periodic law “physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic
function of their atomic numbers”.

(b) (i) Classification of elements on the basis of atomic number is more closer to chemical
properties.
(ii) No separate places for isotopes of an element are required.
(iii) In case of Ar and K, Ar has less atomic number so it should be placed before K according to the
increasing order of atomic number.
