खालीलपैकी कोणती थेरीज किंवा सिद्धांत जीवन उत्क्रांतीशी संबंधित आहेत ? / Which of the following theories are related to evolution of life ?

(a)नैसर्गिक निवडीचा सिद्धांत / The theory of natural selection

(b)उत्परिवर्तन उत्क्रांतीचा सिद्धांत / Mutation theory of evolution

(c)वारसा वर्ण गुणधर्म सिद्धांत / Theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics

(d)वियोग सिद्धांत / Theory of segregation

1)अ, ब आणि ड / a, b and d
2)अ, ब आणि क / a, b and c✓ Correct
3)अ, क आणि ड / a, c and d
4)वरील सर्व / All of the above

ग्रेगोर मेंडल यांना जनुक्शास्त्राचे जनक असे संबोधले जाते, कारण त्यांनी प्रथम अनुवंशिकतेचा सिद्धांत मांडला. त्यांचे प्रयोगशाळेतील संशोधन सामग्री कोणती होती ? / Gregor Mendel is often referred to as the Father of Genetics, since he first enunciated the principles of heredity. His experimental material was

1)फ्रूट फ्लाय (फळ माशी) / Fruit fly
2)ब्रेड मोल्ड (बुरशी) / Bread mould
3)वटाण्याचे झाड / Pea plant✓ Correct
4)रेसुस माकड / Rhesus monkey
