Mention the dominant and recessive traits observed by Mendel in the garden pea plant with respect to the seed and flower.

For the experimental research, Dr. Ian Wilmut used the nucleus of the udder cell from a six-year-old Finn Dorset white sheep and preserved the diploid nucleus (2n). He took an ovum from the ovary of another sheep. The haploid ovum was removed. The diploid nucleus of the udder cell was injected into the cytoplasm of the enucleated ovum. Then the diploid nucleus ovum was implanted into the uterus of the surrogate mother sheep. The diploid ovum developed into a young one, named “Dolly”.

i) Why did Wilmut select the udder cell?

ii) Define the terms haploid and diploid.

Match the following by identifying the pair:

(medicines, fuel, microbes, metabolism, organic acids)

i) vaccine ii) natural gas iii) citric acid

iv) monoclonal antibodies v) vitamins

(special case: to no upload without explanation)

Human evolution has undergone a record of changes during the past 15 million years.

i) Name the different species of mankind in chronological order from primitive to modern man.

ii) When were the primitive caves developed?

iii) Narrate the life led by an early man-like hominids.

Describe in brief Mendel’s monohybrid cross.
