Which type of dormancy is induced in seeds due to adverse condition and high temperature ?

Explanation

Secondary dormancy is induced in seeds due to adverse conditions such as high temperature. This type of dormancy occurs when seeds that have broken their initial dormancy encounter unfavorable conditions and go back into a dormant state.

 A: Ethylene inhibits logitudinal growth of root stem and leaves.

 B: Ethylene is growth inhibitor, maturation hormone.

Explanation

Genotype is the inheritable information carried by all living organisms. This stored information is used as a blueprint or set of instructions for building and maintaining living creature. These instructions are found in almost all cells, they are written in a coded language, they are copied at the time of cell division or reproduction and are passed from one generation to the next. These instructions are intimately involved with all aspects of the life of a cell or an organism. They control everything from the formation of protein macromolecules to the regulation of metabolism and synthesis. The genotype can be defined as the genetic makeup of a cell, an organism, or an individual usually with reference to a specific characteristic under consideration.

Explanation

Mendel was performing dihybrid crosses, which are crosses between organisms that differ with regard to two traits. He discovered that the combinations of traits in the offspring of his crosses did not always match the combinations of traits in the parental organisms. From his data, he formulated the Principle of Independent Assortment.

Which technique is used by Mendel for hybridization ?

Explanation

Mendel used both emasculation and bagging techniques in his hybridization experiments. Emasculation involves removing the anthers of a flower to prevent self-pollination, while bagging involves covering the flower to prevent contamination from other pollen. This way, Mendel could control which plants were cross-pollinated.

From a single ear of corn, a farmer planted 200 kernels which produced 140 tall & 40 short plants. The genotypes of these off springs are most likely.

Explanation

The genotypes of the offspring can be inferred from the phenotypic ratio of tall to short plants. Given that there are 140 tall and 40 short plants, the ratio is 3:1, which is typical for a monohybrid cross of heterozygous plants (Tt) with each other. The expected genotypes would be TT, Tt, and tt.
