  3. 3

  4. 4

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The colour based contrasting traits studied by Mender in pea plant were pod colour,  i.e., green (dominant) and yellow (recessive), flower colour, i.e., violet (dominant) and white (recessive) and seed colour, i.e., yellow (dominant) and green (recessive). 

Mendel's laws were first published in the year

  1. 1875

  2. 1890

  3. 1928

  4. 1866

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mendelian inheritance is a type of biological inheritance that follows the laws originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866 and rediscovered in 1900.

So, the correct option is '1866'.

Mendel's work was got republished in 'Flora' by

  4. All the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mendel’s law of inheritance were rediscovered by Hugo de vries, Tschemark, Correns. Hugo de vries republished the Mendel’s work in ‘Flora’.

So, the correct option is ‘De vries’.

Name the scientist who converted Mendel's conclusions into principles of heredity

  1. De Vries

  2. Tschermak-seysenegg

  3. Carl Correns

  4. T. H. Morgan

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Carl Erich Correns was a German botanist and geneticist, who is notable primarily for his independent discovery of the principles of heredity, and for his rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's earlier paper on that subject, which he achieved simultaneously but independently of the botanists Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg. He also converted Mendel’s conclusions into principles of heredity.

So, the conclusion is ‘Carl correns’.

Tschermak-Seysenegg, a rediscoverer of Mendel's work belonged to

  1. USA

  2. Spain

  3. Austria

  4. Australia

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Erich Tschermak was an Austrian agronomist who developed several new disease-resistant crops, including wheat-rye and oat hybrids. He independently rediscovered Gregor Mendel's work on genetics. He was a plant breeder, and his hybridization experiments were done with the idea of improving crops using the laws of heredity.

So, the correct option is ‘Austria’.

Hugo de Vries, a rediscoverer of Mendel's work belonged to

  1. Holland

  2. Austria

  3. Germany

  4. England.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hugo de Vries, Holland botanist and geneticist, is the author of the mutation theory of evolution. His work led to the rediscovery and establishment of Mendel's laws. He made his first notable contributions to science in the 1880s in the field of plant physiology.

So, the correct option is ‘Holland’.
