Mendel selected dominant red flowered (RR) and recessive white flowered (rr) pea plants as parents for crossing. b. After crossing of the parents, Mendel obtained the F 1 generation, which possessed red coloured flowers, but they were different from red-flowered plants of parental generation, because these plants outwardly showed the same characteristics (i.e. red flowers) but were genetically different. This happened because the F 1 generation also contained white recessive coloured factors. c. From this, Mendel concluded that red was dominant over white and the F 1 generation was phenotypically red and genotypically a hybrid of red and white.

Answer the following questions (any five): i. Features of Mendeleev s periodic table: a. The horizontal rows in the periodic table are called periods. There are seven periods numbered from 1 to 7. b. Properties of elements in a particular period show regular gradation from left to right. c. Vertical columns in the periodic table are called groups. There are eight groups numbered from I to VIII. Groups Ito VII are further divided into Aand B subgroups. ii. Redox reactions: Redox reaction is a chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. Eg. Reduction (loss of oxygen) BaSO 4 + 4C BaS + 4CO Oxidation (gain of oxygen) In the above example, BaSO 4 is reduced to BaS by removing oxygen atom and carbon is oxidized to carbon monoxide. iii. a. Defect of human eye shown in the figure is hypermetropia. In this defect person can see distant objects clearly but cannot see nearby object clearly. b. Reason for hypermetropia: 1. Weak action of ciliary muscles cause low converging power of eye lens.. The distance between the eye lens and the retina decreases on account of either shortening of eye ball or flattening of lens. In this case focal length of eye lens is too long. Correction: i. Hypermetropia can be corrected by using spectacles having convex lenses of suitable focal length.

ii. Science and Technology The convex lens produces convergence of the light rays passing through it and then light rays are converged by eye lens. As a result the image of the nearby object is formed on the retina. O O L 1 L Image at retina iv. Remedy of hypermetropia Refraction of light: The phenomenon of change in the direction of light when it passes from one transparent medium to another is called refraction of light. Relationship between refraction of light and refractive index: a. The extent of change in the direction of light ray is different for different media and depends upon the relative speed of propagation of light in different media. The relative speed of propagation of light is basically measured with the help of refractive index of medium. b. The refractive index ( 1 ) of second medium with respect to the first is given by the ratio of the magnitude of velocity of light in first medium to that in second medium, velocityof lightin mediumfirst i.e., 1 = velocityof lightin mediumsecond. Thus, the refraction of light depends upon refractive index of the material. v. a. The band of coloured components of a light beam is called as spectrum. b. White light is composed of seven colours. When white light is incident a prism, it splits up into its constituent colours. c. Each colour bends through different angles with respect to incident ray. So the rays of each colour emerge along different path and become distinct. Hence, we get a spectrum of seven colours when white light is dispersed by a prism. vi. a. 1.

Suppose V 1, V and V 3 are the P.D.s across resistors R 1, R and R 3 respectively, such that V = V 1 + V + V 3.(1) e. If R s is the equivalent resistance, then using Ohm s law, V = IR s and V 1 = IR 1 ; V = IR ; V 3 = IR 3 Substituting the values in equation (1) we get, IR s = IR 1 + IR + IR 3 IR s = I(R 1 + R + R 3 ) R s = R 1 + R + R 3.() Equation () represents equivalent resistance in series combination of resistors. For n number of resistors connected in series, R s = R 1 + R + R 3 + + R n Characteristics of series combination of resistors: a.
