Assertion :- In human genetic, pedigree study provides a strong tool, which is utilized to trace the inheritance of a specific trait, abnormality or disease. Reason :- The controlled crosses that can be perfoemed in pea plant or same other organism, are not possible in case of human beings.

Assertion :- In human beings, the inheritance of a particular trait is done by the study of fmily history. Reason :- Such an analysis of traits in several generations of family is called the pedigree analysis.

Why is it not possible to study the pattern of inheritance of traits in human beings, the same way as it is done in pea plant ? Name the alternate method employed for such an analysis of human traits.

Mendel was the first scientist to study the pattern of inheritance. He is known as the father of genetics and proposed the laws of inheritance. He selected pea plants (Pisum sativum) to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring. Mendel carried the process of self-pollination followed by cross-pollination in his experiment. Which of these is a dominant trait?

Ecological Indicators The presence of dragonflies can reveal changes in the water ecosystems more quickly than studying other animals or plants. In fact, from the nymph to the adult stage, the dragonfly has a significant, positive ecological impact. Dragonfly eggs are laid and hatched in or near water, so their lives impact both water and land ecosystems. Once hatched, dragonfly nymphs can breathe underwater which enables them to eat mosquito larvae, other aquatic insects and worms, and even small aquatic vertebrates like tadpoles and small fish and in the air. Adult dragonflies capture and eat adult mosquitoes. Community wide mosquito control programs that spray insecticides to kill adult mosquitoes also kill dragonflies. Assertion: Releasing dragonflies in areas where there is an outbreak of malarial diseases can be an environment friendly method of control. Reason: Dragon flies are dominant species and will not allow mosquitoes to reproduce
