Study the following cross showing self-pollination in $F_1$ generation,fill in the blank,and answer the question that follows:
Parents: $RRYY \times rryy$
(Round,yellow) (Wrinkled,green)
$F_1$: $RrYy \times$ ?
(Round,yellow)

Two pea plants,one with round green seeds $(RRyy)$ and another with wrinkled yellow $(rrYY)$ seeds,produce $F_1$ progeny that have round,yellow $(RrYy)$ seeds. When $F_1$ plants are selfed,the $F_2$ progeny will have new combinations of characters. Choose the new combinations from the following:
$(i)$ Round,yellow
$(ii)$ Round,green
$(iii)$ Wrinkled,yellow
$(iv)$ Wrinkled,green

Study the following cross and the self-pollination in $F_1$. Fill in the blank and answer the question that follows:
Parents: $RRYY \times rryy$
(Round,yellow) (Wrinkled,green)
$F_1$: $RrYy \times$ ?
(Round,yellow)
What are the combinations of characters in the $F_2$ progeny? What are their ratios?

$(a)$ "Recent fossils are found closer to the earth's surface." Comment on the statement stating reason.
$(b)$ List two factors which could lead to the rise of new species.

$(i)$ Name the scientist who proposed the theory of evolution of species by natural selection.
$(ii)$ What conclusion did Mendel draw from his experiments regarding traits?
$(iii)$ Arrange the following organisms in the order of their evolutionary complexity: Cockroach,Mango tree,Gorilla,Fish.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
