The pedigree shown below cannot be:
I. | Autosomal dominant disorder |
II. | Autosomal recessive disorder |
III. | Sex-linked dominant disorder |
IV. | Sex-linked recessive disorder |
V. | Holandric disorder |
1. | I, II, and III only | 2. | I, II, III, and V only |
3. | I, III, IV, and V only | 4. | I, II, III, IV and V |
The recombination frequencies for four different linked genes of Drosophila are shown in the figure:
The order of the four genes will be:
1. | rb-cn-vg-b | 2. | vg-b-rb-cn |
3. | cn-rb-b-vg | 4. | b-rb-cn-vg |
In a fruit fly, the eye colour trait is located on X-chromosome and the vestigial wing trait is located on an autosome. What is the possibility that a cross between a white-eyed male fruit fly with vestigial wings and a wild-type female who is heterozygous for both traits will result in a female offspring with vestigial wings and white eyes?
1. | 1/16 | 2. | 1/8 |
3. | ¼ | 4. | ½ |
A dihybrid test cross results in a 1.2% frequency of recombination. This implies that:
1. genes are located on sex chromosomes.
2. genes are located on heterologous chromosomes.
3. genes exhibit epistatic two factor interaction.
4. genes are located very close to one another on the same chromosome.
In heterozygous condition, the dominant allele is able to express itself only in one sex. This is a
1. A sex limited trait
2. A sex influenced trait
3. A sex linked trait
4. sex-determining trait.
Given below are different levels of organization of genetic material. Arrange them in the correct descending order of their size:
1. | Genome, chromosome, gene, nucleotide |
2. | Gene, chromosome, nucleotide, genome |
3. | Chromosome, gene, genome, nucleotide |
4. | Chromosome, genome, nucleotide, gene |
Which field of genetics is the oldest?
1. Transmission genetics.
2. Molecular genetics.
3. Population genetics.
4. Developmental genetics.
‘Molecular genetics’ will be concerned with
1. Production of a new mutant allele of an interesting gene.
2. Hybridizing different varies of plant species
3. studying general allele frequency in a population
4. classification of newly discovered species
You cross pure line plants with red flowers and pure line plants with white flowers and all progeny plants had pink flowers. What would be the phenotypic ratio of progeny produced as a result of hybridizing two plants with pink flowers?
1. | All red offspring | 2. | 3 red: 1 white |
3. | 3 pink: 1 white | 4. | 1 red: 2 pink: 1 white |
