Question 3 :
Study of the evolution of human beings indicates that all of us belong to a single species that evolved in Africa and spread across the world in stages.

i) Large chromosome
ii)Small chromosome
iii)Y-chromosome
iv)X-chromosome
Question 5 :

Question 11 :

(i) Easy to grow
(ii)Short life span
(iii)Easily distinguishible characters
(iv) Larger size of flower
(v) Self pollinated
Question 15 :
How is the sex of the child determined in human beings?
Question 16 :
The theory of evolution of species by natural selection was given by ?
Question 17 :
Birds are very closely related to reptiles. State whether this statement is True or False.
Question 18 :
What does the progeny of a tall plant with round seeds and a short plant with wrinkled seeds look like?
Question 20 :

(iii) In individuals of a given species, a specific gene is located on a particular chromosome
(iv) Each chromosome has only one gene
Question 25 :
Bacteria have a simpler body plan when compared with human beings. Does it mean that human beings are more evolved than bacteria?
Question 28 :
The modern day Human species has evolved from its earliest ancestors who lived in ?
Question 29 :
