In a monohybrid cross between tall pea plants (TT) and short pea plants (tt) a scientist obtained only tall pea plants (Tt) in the F_(1) generation. However, on selfing the F_(1) generation pea plants, he obtained both tall and short plants in F_(2) generation. On the basis of above observations with other angiosperms also, can the scientist arrive at a law? If yes, explain the law. If not, give justification for your answer.

Honeybees produce their young ones only by sexual reproduction. Inspite of this in a colony of bees we find both haploid and diploid individuals. Name the haploid and dipoid individuals in the colony and analyse the reasons behind their formation.

How do organisms, whether reproduced asexually or sexually maintain a constant chromosome number through several generations? Explain with the help of suitable example.

In one of his experiments with pea plants Mendel observed that when a pure tall pea plant is crossed with a pure dwarf pea plant, in the first generation, F_(1) only tall plants appeared. (i) What happens to the traits of the dwarf plants in this case? (ii) When the F_(1) generation plants were self-fertilised, he observed that in the plants of second generation, F_(2) both tall plants and dwarf plants were present. Why it happened? Explain briefly.

"F"_(2) generation in Mendelian cross showed that both genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same as 1 : 2 : 1 . It represents a case of:

A few statements with regard to sexual reproduction are given below: (i) Sexual reproduction does not always require two individuals. (ii) Sexual reproduction generally involves gametic fusion. (iii) Meiosis never occurs during sexual reproduction. (iv) External fertilisation is a rule during sexual reproduction. Choose the correct statements from the options below:
