2. Down’s syndrome – 44 autosomes + XO
3. Klinefelter’ssyndrome – 44 autosomes + XXY
4. Colour blindness – Y-linked
Point mutation involves

3. Change in single base pair
4. Duplication
The most popularly known blood grouping is the ABO grouping. It is named ABO and not ABC, because “O” in it refers to having:
1. | No anitgens A and B on RBCs |
2. | Other antigens besides A and B on RBCs |
3. | Overdominance of this type on the genes for A and B types |
4. | One antibody only - either anti-A or anti-B on the RBCs |

ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by the gene I. It has three alleles -IA,IB and i. Since there are three different alleles, six different genotypes are possible. How many phenotypes can occur?
1. One
2. Four
3. Two
4. Three
Which one of the following conditions correctly describe the manner of determining the sex in the given example?
1. | Homozygous sex chromosomes (ZZ) determine the female sex in birds. |
2. | XO type of sex chromosomes determine male sex in grasshopper |
3. | XO condition in humans as found in Turner Syndrome, determines female sex. |
4. | Homozygous sex chromosomes (XX) produce males in Drosophila. |
