"When two pairs of traits are combined in a hybrid, segregation of one pair of characters is independent of the other pair of characters". This is the statement of:

(1) Law of Dominance

(2) law of segregation

(3) Law of Independent Assortment

(4) Law of Linkage

A test cross is done to find out

(1) Fitness of an organism

(2) Genotype of a plant expressing dominant phenotype

(3) The suitable parents for a Mendelian Cross

(4) The hidden genotypic ratio of F2 phenotypes

In a monohybrid cross F₁ progeny resemble neither of the parents. What would be true in this case?

1. The parental traits would not appear in any of the F₂ -progenies

2. The F₂ phenotypic ratio will be different from the F₂ genotypic ratio

3. It could be a case of incomplete donminance

4. The F₂ genotypic ratio will be similar to any Mendelian monohybrid cross

The two alleles of a gene pair are located on:

1. Homologous sites on homologous chromosomes

2. Heterologous sites on homologous chromosomes

3. Homologous sites on heterologous chromosomes

4. Heterologous sites on heretologous chromosomes

Male heterogamety is not seen in:

(1) Humans

(2) Melandrium album

(3) Birds

(4) Fruit fly

The trait shown in the given pedigree chart is most likely a/an:

1. Autosomal recessive trait

2. Autosomal dominant trait

3. Sex linked recessive trait

4. Sex linked dominant trait

Which of the following are correct regarding linked genes?

I. are locaed near each other on the same chromosome.

II. violate the law of independent assortment

III. segregate together during meiosis

(1) Only I and II

(2) Only I and III

(3) Only II and III

(4) I, II, III

Consider the cross AaBb x AaBb. If the alleles for both genes exhibit complete dominance, what genotypic ratio is expected in the resulting offspring?

1. 1:1:1:1

2. 9:3:3:1

3. 3:6:3:1:2:1

4. 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1

Two phenotypically normal individuals have an affected child. What can we conclude about the parents?

1. they both carried the diesease allele

2. they are not the parents of the child

3. they are affected

4. no conclusions can be drawn

In humans, the dominance relationship between the A and B alleles of ABO blood group gene is an example of

(1) complete dominance.

(2) incomplete dominance.

(3) codominance.

(3) epistasis
