Charles Darwin

8 - Currently it is held that somatic variations are not inherited, while heritable mutations which help organism in adoption are selected by ""Nautre"" and get maximum chance for transmission to future generations and form basis of evolution. State whether this statement is:





Correct

9 - Determinate variations are also called:





Orthogenic variations

10 - Determinate variations are controlled by strong genes or their recombination which are often so strong that the characters continue to develop beyond usefulness, to bearer and ultimately bring extinction of the species. The example of such are:





Both (a) & (b)

11 - Determinate variations are:





Adaptive and selective variations of definite evolutionary lines

12 - Difference in somatogenic and blastogenic variations is that:





Former mayor may not be inherited but later are always inherited

13 - Discontinuous variations are:





Mutations

14 - Discontinuous variations are:





Sudden and heritable

15 - During gametogenesis when one or more pieces of chromosome may reunite at wrong sites is called:





Duplication

16 - EOLOGICAL Time Scale"" represents:





Chronological order of earth's history

17 - Gene Point Mutations"" are:





Changes in nucleotide sequence of DNA molecule usually at a single place affecting single gene

18 - Generally the mutations are:





Harmful

19 - Hereditary variations can be produced in plants by using:





Gibberellic Acid

20 - If all the organisms would have inherited same genotype there would have been:





No evolution

21 - In absence of of organic evolution there world have been:





All of these

22 - In bacteria the mutations can be induced by:





Exposure of organisms to high energy radiations

23 - In chromosomal Aberration the change involves a considerable part of chromosome so that a number of genes are affected simultaneously"". Whether this is:





A correct statement

24 - In which of the following conditions of gene, the pregnancy of mutant gene is expected to increase in a population:





Dominance

25 - Muller induced mutation in Drosophila melanogester by exposure to:





X-rays

26 - Mutations among members of a species arise due to:





Abrupt changes in genes

27 - Mutations are respobsible for bringing:





Large variations in the organisms

28 - Mutations in an organism are:





Changes that are inheritable

29 - Mutations occur during process of gametogenesis due to errors in chromosome duplication and crossing over by:





All of these processes

30 - Mutations were also called ""Sports"" by:





Darwin

31 - One cannot induce a specific gene to mutate as:





Scientists have yet not found any method and have not been able to do so.

32 - Ordinarily the continuous variations are considered:





Heritable or non-heritable

33 - Presence of only four digits in hand will be an example of:





Negative quantitative discontinuousvariations

34 - Process related with mutations where one or more chromosome pieces may fail to re-unite and dissolve in cytoplasm is called:





Deletion

35 - Quantitative discontinuous variations are positive when:





The number of some variant part is more than normal

36 - Role of nutation in the process of organic evolution is:





Genetic variation

37 - Somatogenic variations are dissimilarities which:





Confine to 'soma' only and are inheritable

38 - Sudden changes in characteristics of organism due to chemical changes in their genetic materials are called:





Mutations

39 - The mutations are mainly responsible for:





Variations in the organisms

40 - The rate of mutations can be increased by means of:





X-rays

41 - The term ""Saltatory or Discontinuous Variations"" was used by Bateson for:





Sudden changes in the characteristics of organisms due to chemical changes in their genetic material

42 - There would have been no organic evolution if:





Individuals in a population did not show gene variation

43 - Variations are:





All the dissimilarities
