Indentify the incorrect statement:

1. Tall plant produce gametes by meiosis and the dwarf plants by mitosis.

2. Only one allele is transmitted to a gamete.

3. The segregation of alleles is a random process.

4. Gametes will always be pure for the trait.

In case of starch synthesis in pea seeds [controlled by B gene], BB homozygotes produce large and round starch grains; bb homozygotes produce smaller and wrinkled starch grains and Heterozygotes produce round seeds of intermediate size. What can be inferred from this observation?

(1) The gene B mutates at a faster rate.

(2) The gene B is easily influenced by the environment

(3) Dominance is not an autonomous feature of a gene or the product that it has information for

(4) Some genes do not follow the law of segregation.

When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. this can be attributed to the fact that:

(1) The genes are located on X and Y chromosomes

(2) Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes

(3) The genes are located on the X chromosome

(4) The genes exhibit incomplete dominance

When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome:

(1) The proportion of parental gene combinations was much higher than the non-parental type

(2) The proportion of parental gene combinations was much lesser than the non-parental type.

(3) The propagation of parental gene combinations was equal to the non-parental type

(4) Only recombinants are formed
