RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

By both maternal and paternal DNA equally

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. By both maternal and paternal DNA equally.

  1. Every trait in an organism is influenced by both maternal and paternal DNA equally.
  2. This is because each parent contributes half of the genetic material to their offspring through gametes—sperm from the father and egg from the mother.
  3. These gametes contain 23 chromosomes each, which combine during fertilization to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes.
  4. Traits such as eye color, height, and blood type are determined by genes inherited from both parents, often showing a mix or dominance of certain inherited characteristics.

सही उत्तर विकल्प 4 है अर्थात मातृ और पैतृक DNA दोनों द्वारा समान रूप से।

  1. किसी जीव में प्रत्येक गुण मातृ और पैतृक DNA दोनों द्वारा समान रूप से प्रभावित होता है।
  2. ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि प्रत्येक माता-पिता अपने बच्चों को आनुवंशिक सामग्री का आधा हिस्सा युग्मकों के माध्यम से प्रदान करते हैं - पिता से शुक्राणु और माता से अंडाणु।
  3. इन युग्मकों में प्रत्येक में 23 गुणसूत्र होते हैं, जो निषेचन के दौरान मिलकर 46 गुणसूत्रों का एक पूरा सेट बनाते हैं।
  4. आंखों का रंग, ऊंचाई और रक्त प्रकार जैसे लक्षण माता-पिता दोनों से विरासत में मिले जीन द्वारा निर्धारित होते हैं, जो अक्सर कुछ विरासत में मिली विशेषताओं का मिश्रण या प्रभुत्व दिखाते हैं।
