Chromosomal theory of inheritance was proposed by:
1. Sutton and Boveri
2. Bateson and Punnet
3. T. H. Morgan
4. Watson and Crick
The number of contrasting characters studied by Mendel for his experiments was:
| 1. | 14 | 2. | 4 |
| 3. | 2 | 4. | 7 |
The best example of pleiotropy is:
1. Skin color
2. Phenylketonuria
3. Colour Blindness
4. ABO Blood group
Represented below is the inheritance pattern of a certain type of traits in humans. Which one of the following conditions could be an example of this pattern?
| 1. | Sickle cell anemia | 2. | Haemophilia |  |
| 3. | Thalassemia | 4. | Phenylketonuria |
Study the pedigree chart of a certain family given below and select the correct conclusion which can be drawn for the character:
| 1. | The parents could not have had a normal daughter for this character |
| 2. | The trait under study could not be colourblindness |
| 3. | The male parent is homozygous dominant |
| 4. | The female parent is heterozygous |
In a cross between a male and female, both heterozygous for sickle cell anaemia gene, what percentage of the progeny will be diseased?
| 1. | 25% | 2. | 100% |
| 3. | 50% | 4. | 75% |
How many true-breeding pea plant varieties did Mendel select as pairs, which were similar except in one character with contrasting traits?
| 1. | 2 | 2. | 14 |
| 3. | 6 | 4. | 4 |
Identify the wrong statement with reference to the gene 'I' that controls ABO blood groups.
| 1. | A person will have only two of the 3 alleles. |
| 2. | When IA and IB are present together, they express same type of sugar. |
| 3. | Allele 'i' does not produce any sugar. |
| 4. | The gene (I) has three alleles. |
Select the correct match:
| 1. | Phenylketonuria | Autosomal dominant trait |
| 2. | Sickle cell anemia | Autosomal recessive trait chromosome - 11 |
| 3. | Thalassemia | X linked |
| 4. | Haemophilia | Y linked |
Experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance was done by:
| 1. | Sutton | 2. | Boveri |
| 3. | Morgan | 4. | Mendel |
