The following results were obtained by a scientist who crossed the F1 generation of pure-breeding parents for round and wrinkled seeds.
| Dominant trait | Recessive trait | No. of F2 offspring |
| Round seeds | Wrinkled seeds | 7524 |
From these results, it can be concluded that the actual number of round seeds he obtained was ______
पर्याय
1881
22572
2508
5643
उत्तर
5643
Explanation:
The round and wrinkled seeds will be obtained in the ratio of 3:1.
The number of round seeds obtained will be `(7524 xx 3)/4= 5643`.

Excited by his observation of different types of ear lobes present in his family, Rahul conducted a survey of the type of ear lobes found {Figure (e) and (f)} in his classmates. He found two types of ear lobes in his classmates as per the frequency given below:
| Sex | Free | Attached |
| Male | 36 | 14 |
| Female | 31 | 19 |
On the basis of the above data answer the following questions.
- Which of the two characteristics - ‘free ear lobe’ or ‘attached ear lobe’ appears to be dominant in this case? Why?
- Is the inheritance of the free ear lobe linked with the sex of the individual? Give a reason for your answer.
- What type of ear lobe is present in father, mother, Rahul and his sister Nisha? Write the genetic constitution of each of these family members which explains the inheritance of this character in this family.
(Gene for the Free ear lobe is represented by F and the gene for the attached ear lobe is represented by f for writing the genetic constitution).
