➜ <u>Mendel conducted breeding experiments with garden peas</u>:
[i] He studied plants (pure) of a tall/short varities.
[ii] He crossed them and obtained F1 progeny.
[iii] He found that F1 progeny was all tall plants.
[iv] He selfed the (hybrid) plants if F1 progeny.
[v] He found that in F2 progeny there were tall as well as short plants.
[vi] The three quarter plants were tall and one quarter was short.
(or any other contrasting character may be taken).
<u>Note</u>: Here, F1 means <u>First fillial generation</u> and F2 means <u>Second fillial generation</u>.
Answer:
Griffith concluded that the R-strain bacteria must have taken up what he called a "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S bacteria, which allowed them to "transform" into smooth-coated bacteria and become virulent.
Explanation:
Answer:
Option (e).
Explanation:
Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.
Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
Termites, koalas, field mice, and deer.
