प्रश्न
Which one of the given statements in incorrect:
विकल्प
DNA has the complete information for a particular characteristic.
DNA is the molecule responsible for the inheritance of characters from parents to offsprings.
Change in information will produce a different protein.
Characteristics will remain the same even if protein changes.
उत्तर
Characteristics will remain the same even if protein changes.
Explanation:
The statement is false because an organism's traits are largely influenced by the proteins it produces. The amino acid sequence in a protein determines its structure and function, and proteins are the byproducts of gene expression. As a result, a change in the protein that a gene produces can affect the characteristic of the organism for which it codes. This is why DNA mutations can have a significant impact on an organism's phenotype.

Can a child have blood group O if his parents have blood group ‘A’ and ‘B’. Explain.
What are the characteristic features of a true-breeding line?
In peas, tallness is dominant over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated with a dwarf plant bearing white flowers, the different phenotypic groups were obtained in the progeny in numbers mentioned against them:
Tall, Red = 138
Tall, White = 132
Dwarf, Red = 136
Dwarf, White = 128
Mention the genotypes of the two parents and of the four offspring types.
What is the scientific name of the pea plant that Mendel used for his experiments?
Tall pea plants having green pods were crossed with dwarf pea plants having yellow pods. Out of 80 plants, how many are likely to be tall plants in the F2 generation?
