Question:
(a) (i) Compare the pattern of inheritance of flower colour in garden pea plant (violet/white) with snapdragon plant (red/white) on the basis of the following:
1. F1 phenotypic expression.
2. Expected phenotypic and genotypic expression of F2 generation.
3. Conclusion you reached at the end of the comparison.
(ii) List any two characteristics of pattern of inheritance of human blood group ABO.
OR
(b) (i) Draw a schematic, self-explanatory labelled diagram of lac operon in a ‘switched on’ condition.
(ii) Why is regulation of lac operon referred to as negative regulation?

Show Hint
(a) (i) Inheritance patterns can vary between traits, with some showing complete dominance (pea plant) and others incomplete dominance (snapdragon).
(ii) The ABO blood group system is an example of codominance and multiple allelism, unique among genetic traits.
(b) (i) The lac operon is switched on in the presence of lactose, enabling the expression of genes involved in lactose metabolism.

Solution and Explanation
(a) (i) 1. F1 phenotypic expression:
- Garden pea: All F1 plants are violet (dominant trait).
- Snapdragon: All F1 plants are pink (incomplete dominance).
2. F2 generation:
- Garden pea:
-- Phenotypic ratio: 3:1 (violet: white)
-- Genotypic ratio: 1:2:1 (VV:Vv:vv)
- Snapdragon:
-- Phenotypic ratio: 1:2:1 (red: pink: white)
-- Genotypic ratio: 1:2:1 (RR:Rr:rr).
3. Conclusion:
- In garden pea, flower colour inheritance follows complete dominance.
- In snapdragon, flower colour inheritance follows incomplete dominance.
(ii) 1. The ABO blood group exhibits codominance, where both A and B alleles are expressed equally in the AB blood group.
2. The blood group also shows multiple allelism, as there are three alleles (IA, IB, i) for a single gene.
OR
(b) (i) 
(ii) The lac operon is referred to as negative regulation because the operon is switched off by the binding of a repressor protein to the operator region in the absence of lactose. Lactose acts as an inducer by removing the repressor.

- Ankur Sachdeva did his MBA from ITB University. He decided to apply his knowledge of scientific management in the fast food restaurant chain 'Coffee Bean' set up by him. This restaurant was providing burgers, fries, shakes etc, as a part of its menu. Nowadays people are quality conscious, so he was using standardised raw materials, processes, methods, working conditions, machinery etc. The objective was to establish standards of excellence. By doing this he was not only able to reduce the cost but was also able to provide new varieties of burgers, fries and shakes leading to increased turnover. Ankur Sachdeva also believed that there was only one best method to maximise efficiency. As a result he developed best way of grilling burgers, cooking fries and preparing shakes. His main objective was to maximise the satisfaction of customers, which he was able to achieve. Not only to learn the best way of doing a job, but to perform their tasks efficiently, 'Coffee Bean' regularly invests in training and development programmes to equip employees with the necessary skill and knowledge. 'Coffee Bean' believed that efficient employees will produce more and earn more. This will ensure their greatest efficiency and prosperity for both company and workers.

- Preeti started her own cooking channel on 'Youtube Mood Art'. As her subscribers increased, she was not in a position to manage everything on her own. She hired Rahul and Riya to help her with filming editing, lighting and content research. She granted authority to them to operate within prescribed limits. She was thus, able to use her time on high priority activities like developing new recipes and content development etc. As a result, Rahul and Riya were given opportunities to develop and exercise initiative. Preeti was now able to focus on objectives and meet the target of achieving a subscriber base of one million in six months.
