Q6.

Assertion: VNTR of two persons may be similar at certain sites but could be different at other sites.
Reason: A child inherits 50% of chromosomes from mother and remaining 50% from father.


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

VNTR of two persons may be similar at certain sites but could be different at other sites because a child inherits 50% of chromosomes from mother and remaining 50% from father. VNTR genes also undergoes different kinds of mutations.

Q7. Assertion: Just after implantation, embryo (inner cell mass) differentiates into ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Reason: These three layers give rise to all tissues and organs in adult human beings.
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

After implantation, embryo differentiates into outer layer called ectoderm, middle layer mesoderm and inner layer endoderm. These three layers forms the all tissues or organs of human beings.
