51) (A) DNA is more stable and less reactive than RNA due to the presence of deoxyribose
sugar. correct. DNA contains deoxyribose, making it more stable and less reactive than RNA,
which contains ribose, making RNA more prone to hydrolysis.
(B) Uridine consists of uracil and ribose sugar. correct. Uridine is a ribonucleoside, which
means it's made up of a uracil molecule attached to a ribose ring.
52) The essential life processes such as metabolism, splicing, and translation are believed to
have evolved around RNA. This idea is supported by the RNA World Hypothesis.

72) Explain Question : The question asks to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the
F1 (first filial) generation and the F2 (second filial) generation.
Concept : This question is based on History of Mendel
Solution :

conducted and supported by extensive experimental data gathered from his pea plant
experiments. The issue was more about the lack of understanding and acceptance of his
quantitative approach by the scientific community at the time.
Final Answer : (2)
73) Asking about: This question is asking about the process of allele segregation during
gamete formation and whether the reason provided accurately explains the assertion.
Concept: The question involves the concepts of:
• Meiosis: The type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells).
• Law of Segregation: Mendel's law stating that allele pairs separate during gamete
formation, and each gamete receives only one allele from each pair.
Solution:
Assertion (A): This is true. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (which carry the
alleles) separate randomly. This means there's an equal chance for a gamete to receive either
allele from the parental pair.
Reason (R): This is false. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical copies of the
parent cell. It does not involve the separation of homologous chromosomes or the formation of
gametes. The separation of alleles occurs during meiosis, not mitosis.
Final Answer: (3)
74) Explain Question : The question is asking about the genotype of brown eyed parents, if
they have blue eyed child.
Concept : Monohybrid cross
Solution : Two brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed [Link], genotype of both parents =
Bb × Bb So, there's a 25% chance their child will have blue eyes (bb).
Final answer : (3)

Problem Statement: The question asks to match items from three columns related to genetic
crosses: Column I lists types of genetic crosses, Column II lists the parental genotypes
involved, and Column III lists the expected phenotypic ratios or outcomes. The task is to
correctly associate one item from each column that correspond to each other.
Underlying Concept: The core concept involves Mendelian genetics, specifically different
types of genetic crosses used to study inheritance patterns: monohybrid (one trait), dihybrid
(two traits), test cross (crossing to a homozygous recessive), and back cross (crossing a hybrid
with a parent strain). Each cross results in characteristic genotype and phenotype ratios.
Tips and Tricks: Associate common ratios to cross types: 3:1 with monohybrid, 9:3:3:1 with
dihybrid, 1:1 with test cross, and uniform dominant phenotype with back cross. This helps in
quickly matching the columns.
Common Mistakes: Confusing the phenotypic ratio of a test cross (1:1) with that of a
monohybrid cross (3:1). Mixing up parental genotypes can also cause errors.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: Options mismatch expected genotype crosses with
incorrect phenotypic ratios. For example, pairing TT×tt (a pure monohybrid cross) with 3:1
ratio is incorrect because TT×tt usually gives all heterozygous offspring, which are
phenotypically uniform.

Explain Question : The question asks which statement is not always true for genes in diploid
organisms.
Concept : This question is based on Linkage
Explanation :Option 1 → Always true
Option 2 → Always true
Option 3 → Always true
Option 4 → Not always true (linked genes do not assort independently)
Final answer :4
79) Solution : In case more than one phenotype is influenced by the same gene, the
expression of gene depends on the gene product and production of particular phenotype from
this product, as it does on particular phenotype that we choose to examine.
Final answer : (2)

Explain Question : The question is asking about the phenotype of the first filial (F1)
generation in a cross involving flower color in a dog flower (snapdragon) plant

Explain Question : The question asks to identify which of the given genetic concepts is not
associated with sickle cell anaemia.
Concept : This question is based on sickle cell anaemia
Explanation : Sickle cell anaemia, however, is determined by a single gene with only two
alleles, the normal allele (HbA) and the sickle cell allele (HbS). Therefore, sickle cell anaemia
is not an example of multiple allelism.
Final answer : 4
82) Explain Question: The question wants to ask that which of the given points is correct
regarding polygenic inheritance.
Concept: Polygenic inheritance.
Solution: In a polygenic trait, the phenotype reflects the contribution of each dominant allele.
So, the correct answer is : 1.
Final answer: 1.

Explain Question : The question asks to evaluate three statements about the sex
determination and chromosome complement in grasshoppers and determine which are true or
false.
Concept : This question is based on sex determination
Explanation :
(a) Total number of chromosomes are same in both ♂️ and ♀️ - Incorrect
Males have one less chromosome (no Y or second X)
So, total chromosome number differs
Female: 2A + XX
Male: 2A + XO
(c) Female heterogamety is present - Incorrect
In grasshoppers, male is heterogametic (XO)
Female is homogametic (XX)
Female heterogamety (ZW system) is seen in birds, not grasshoppers
Final answer : 3
86) Explain: Given: boy is colour blind. sister is normal and carrier.
Concept – This question based on X- linked recessive inheritance.
Solution:
(i) Mother father
c
(X X) (XY)
↓
Boy (XcY)
Both phenotypically normal (100%)
(ii) Colour blind son , mother have (XC) her genotype = XC X (carrier) (100% chances)
(iii) Carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY)
90) Solution : The gene responsible for phenylketonuria does not show polygenic inheritance.
Final Answer : (3)
