NCERT Class 10 Science Chapter 8 Heredity and Evolution Solutions Heredity NCERT TEXTBOOK Solutions for Class 10 Science Question 1. A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as: (a) TTWW (b) TTww (c) TtWW (d) TtWw Answer: (c) TtWW   Question 2. A study found that children with light coloured eyes are likely to have parents with light coloured eyes.
