ASSERTION AND REASONING
21. Assertion (A) : Round green seeds in peas can be represented by RRyy of Rryy.
Reason (R) : Round yellow seeds and green wrinkled seeds are parental combinations whereas round
green and wrinkled yellow are recombinants.
22. Assertion (A) : If the mother has two dominant alleles for black hair and the father has two recessive
alleles for blonde hair, then their child will inherit one dominant allele from the mother and one
recessive allele from the father and will have black hair.
Reason (R) : Progeny inherits one gene for each trait from its parents, but the trait shown by progeny
depends on inherited alleles.
23. Assertion (A): Diffusion does not meet the high energy requirements of multi-cellular organisms.
Reason (R) : Diffusion is a fast process but occurs at the surface of the body.
24. Assertion (A) Ozone is formed in the upper atmosphere by O2 in the presence of UV radiations.
Reason (R) : Ozone depletion will lead to UV rays reaching earth, which may cause skin cancer.
25. Assertion (A) : Clones are offspring of an organism formed by asexual reproduction.
Reason (R) : Clones have exact copies of DNA as their parents. If the mother has two dominant alleles
for black hair and the father has two recessive alleles for blonde hair, then their child will inherit one
dominant allele from the mother and one recessive allele from the father and will have black hair.
