Two garden pea dihybrids with round seed shapes and yellow seed color [RrYy] are intercrossed. Assuming independent assortment, the gene for seed shape is inherited by the progeny in a phenotypic ratio of:

Consider the following statements regarding
Y chromosome in humans:
I. | Y chromosome is a male-determining chromosome in humans |
II. | Y chromosome contains a gene, SRY, which triggers embryonic development as a male |

Of the given statements, the correct statements are:
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |

Mating between black rats of identical genotype produced offspring as follows: 14 cream colored, 47 black and 19 albino. This ratio can be explained if the pheneomenon exhibited here is:
1. Recessive epistasis
2. Polygenic inheritance
3. Multiple allelism
4. Incomplete penetrance
Identify the incorrect statement regarding test cross?
1. It is used to determine the genotype of an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype.
2. The testcross parent is always homozygous recessive for all of the genes under consideration.
3. The purpose of the testcross is to discover how many different kinds of gametes are being produced by the individual whose genotype is in question.
4. A homozygous dominant individual will produce two types of progeny and a heterozygous individual will produce only one type of progeny.
Sickle cell disease is an example of:
1. Sex linked recessive disorder
2. Pleiotropy
3. Polygenic trait
4. Sex influenced trait
What decides the frequency of an allele in a population?
