Heredity & Evolution top Questions for 10th Board Exam | Edu d Study

         The transfer of biological characters from one generation to another via genes is called heredity. Genes are present in DNA which has special codons to transfer some characteristics from their parents to offspring. 

Justify that the science of heredity is useful.

Heredity is useful in many ways. It can very helpful to humans and other animals also to transfer the genetic material from one generation to another. 

1. For diagnosis of hereditary disorders.
2. For the treatment of hereditary disorders.
3. For prevention of hereditary disorders.
4. For the production of hybrid varieties of animals and plants.
5. For using microbes in industrial processes.

Scientists prove that genes are carried via chromosomes.

1. John Gregor Mendel pioneer of Modern Genetics.
2. Hugo de Vries has proposed the mutation theory in 1901.
3. Walter and Sutton observe the paired chromosomes in the cells of the grasshopper in 1902.
4. Trio scientists Ostwald Avery, Maclyn Mccarthy, and Colin McLeod proved that except for viruses, all living organisms have DNA as genetic material.
5. The research was proved that "Genes are carried via chromosomes."

Heredity

The mutation may cause genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia. Give reason.

1. Definition : Any nucleotide of the gene that changes its position that causes a minor change is called a Mutation.
2. Serious Mutations : Some mutations may be minor but some may be serious as down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, albinism, and sickle-cell Anaemia, etc.

Huge diversity regarding shape and complexity present on the earth. Give reason.

1. Animal's Diversity in Size : Animal diversity ranges from the unicellular Amoeba and Paramecium to man and giant Well. 
2. Plant's Diversity in Size : The plant diversity consists of various bases ranging from unicellular Cholera to the use of banyan trees.
3.  Life exists on earth everywhere from the equator to the poles and where is with geographical areas. 
4. Organisms are present at all places like water, land, and rock. Therefore, huge diversity present on earth.
