Consider three genes: X, Y, and Z. The recombination frequency between X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z gene pairs was found to be 50%, 25%, and 50%, respectively. What would be the right inference?

1. genes X and Y are on the same chromosome
2. genes X and Z are on different chromosomes
3. genes Y and Z are on different chromosomes
4. All three genes are located on the same chromosome

A recessive pattern of inheritance can be easily identified in a pedigree analysis if it shows that:

1. Two affected individuals have three affected children.
2. Two unaffected individuals have one affected and two unaffected children.
3. There are four instances where at least one affected parent has an affected child.
4. Two known heterozygotes have two affected and one unaffected child.

Pedigree analysis rather than conventional methods are used to study genetic traits because:

I: Number of progeny is limited
II: Choice matings are not possible
III: Sexual dimorphism is seen in humans
 
1. I only
2. II only
3. III only
4. Both I and II

A true breeding (pure line) plant can be differentiated from a hybrid as:
1. They only have one type of allele of the gene that controls the trait of interest.
2. They carry two different alleles for the gene that controls the trait of interest.
3. They can only reproduce by self fertilization.
4. They all have dominant alleles for the trait of interest.
