In a population of 10,000 individuals, 6,400 individuals are of the genotype ‘AA’, 3,200 individuals are of the
genotype ‘Aa’ and the remaining individuals are of the genotype ‘aa’. Based on this data, the frequency of
the allele ‘A’ in the population is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
0.8
Option D (0.8) is correct because the frequency of allele A is calculated by considering the number of A alleles in the population divided by the total number of alleles.

In equation,p2+2pq+q2=1{p^2} + 2pq + {q^2} = 1Where,I. p2{p^2}= Homozygous dominant genotype
II. q2{q^2}= Heterozygous dominant genotype
III. 2pq= Heterozygous genotype
Identify which entity (p2,q2{p^2},{q^2} and 2pq) is not described correctly?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Only II
Option D (Only II) is correct because q2{q^2} represents the homozygous recessive genotype, not the heterozygous dominant genotype.
336 Medium

Understanding +4 | -1
Which group is evolutionary modern?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Grasses
Option B (Grasses) is correct because grasses (angiosperms) are a relatively recent evolutionary development compared to gymnosperms, pteridophytes, and algae.
337 Easy

Remembering +4 | -1
Which of the following was absent in the atmosphere at the time of origin of life ?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
O2{O_2}
Option D (O2{O_2}) is correct because the early atmosphere was reducing, lacking free oxygen.
338 Medium
338 of 348
Remembering +4 | -1
The concept of inheritance of acquired character in support of evolution was proposed by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Lamarck
Option C (Lamarck) is correct because Lamarck proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
339 Easy
339 of 348

First mammal occurred in which era/period?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Triassic –Mesozoic
Option B (Triassic –Mesozoic) is correct because the first mammals appeared during the Triassic period, which is part of the Mesozoic era.

Option B (Darwin) is correct because Charles Darwin is widely recognized as the primary proponent of the theory of natural selection.
341 Easy
341 of 348
Remembering +4 | -1
Vestigial organ in human being is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Molar
Option B (Molar) is correct because molars, specifically wisdom teeth, are often considered vestigial organs in humans due to their reduced functionality and frequent impaction.

Understanding +4 | -1
Australian marsupial - spotted cuscus shows convergent evolution with a placental mammal called _____. Choose the option that correctly fills the blank.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Lemur
Option C (Lemur) is correct because lemurs and spotted cuscus share similar ecological niches and have evolved similar traits through convergent evolution.

343 of 348
Understanding +4 | -1
Evolution means
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
All of the above
Option D (All of the above) is correct because evolution encompasses rolling out/unfolding, revealing hidden potential, and descent with modification.
344 Hard

Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following is correct sequence of events in origin of life?

(i) Formation of inorganic compounds

(ii) Synthesis of organic monomers

(iii) Synthesis of first simple organic compounds

(iv) Synthesis of organic polymers

(v) Formation of protobiont

(vi) Formation of DNA - based genetic system
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(i) (iii) (ii) (iv) (v) (vi)
Option B ((i) (iii) (ii) (iv) (v) (vi)) is correct because it represents the logical sequence of events starting with inorganic compounds, then simple organic compounds, monomers, polymers, protobionts, and finally DNA-based genetic systems.

In human beings, vestigial organs are
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Wisdom teeth, coccyx, vermiform appendix, nictitating membrane, auricular muscles

Consider a cat population of 100 , in which 84 are black and 16 are white. Black trait is dominant over white. What will be the number of heterozygotes if this population is in HardyWeinberg equilibrium?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
48
Option C (48) is correct because it is calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg equation: 2pqN, where N is the population size, p is the frequency of the dominant allele, and q is the frequency of the recessive allele.
347 Medium

Understanding +4 | -1
Which one of the following is incorrect about the characteristics of protobionts (coacervates and microspheres) as envisaged in the abiogenic origin of life?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
They could maintain an internal environment
Option A (They were able to reproduce) is correct because protobionts could not reproduce in the same way as living cells.

Choose the correct option for A and B to complete the given statement
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
A-fifteen; B-six
Option B (A-fifteen; B-six) is correct because Darwin differentiated 15 species of finches and grouped them into 6 main types based on their beak morphology and feeding habits.
