1 Group A 1. Genes and environment responsible for the expression of a CO1
particular trait, Explain.

2. Justify the statement, individual have only two alleles even if a

character shows multiple alleleism.

3. Mention the characteristics of a true-breeding line.

4. A tall plant with red flowers (dominant) is crossed with a dwarf

plant with white flowers (recessive). Work out a dihybrid cross and
state the dihybrid ratio.

5. Sickle-cell anaemia persist in the human population when it is

believed that the harmful alleles get eliminated from the population
after a certain time. Comment upon this.

2 Group B 1. Mention the applications of recombination with reference to CO1

genetic engineering.

3. Write a note on Meiosis and Mitosis as a part of genetics.

4. Differentiate between Science and engineering by drawing a

comparison between eye and camera.
