Solution

the creation of variations in a species promote survival of species.
The correct option is B.
Question 2

A
7 million years

B
1 million years

C
2 million years

D
13 million years

Solution

Study of genes in humans and chimpanzees showed greater accuracy when the two species split from one. The evolutionary divergence occurred between 5 million and 7 million years ago. Option A is correct.
Question 3

Which of the following is true about chromosomes?

A
Separate independent pieces responsible for variations is called a chromosome.

B
Each cell will have two copies of each chromosome, one each from the male and female parents.

C
Two germ cells combine to restore the normal number of chromosomes in the progeny.

D
All of the above.
Solution
- Each gene set has two separate independent pieces called a chromosome.
- Each cell will have two copies of each chromosome, one each from the male and female parents.
- Every germ cell will take one chromosome from each pair and these may be of either maternal or paternal origin. When two germ cells combine, they will restore the normal number of chromosomes in the progeny, ensuring the stability of the DNA of the species.
- Thus, Option D is correct.
