  1. 1875

  2. 1890

  3. 1928

  4. 1866


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'.

  1. De Vries

  2. Tschermak

  3. Correns

  4. All the above.


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


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


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.


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’.

Carl Correns, a rediscoverer of Mendel's work, was

  1. American

  2. German

  3. Austrian

  4. Spanish


Correct Option: B
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 and Hugo de Vries, and the agronomist William Jasper Spillman.

So, the correct option is ‘German’.

  1. T.H. Morgan

  2. W. Bateson

  3. E.Strasburger

  4. Von Tschermak


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mendel’s laws of inheritance was rediscovered by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and T.Schemark independently.

So, the correct option is ‘Von Tschemark’.
