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

What is incorrect for Hemophilia?

1. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected.

2. In an affected indlvidual a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding.

3. The heterozygous female (carrier) for haemophilia may transmit the disease to sons.

4. The possibility of a female becoming a haemophilic is extremely rare because mother of such a female has to be hemophilic and the father should be a carrier.

Identify the incorrect statement:

(1) In addition to recombination, mutation is another phenomeonon that leads to variation in DNA.

(2) Chromosomal aberrations are commonly observed in cancer cells.

(3) A classical example of a point mutation is sickle cell anaemia.

(4) Non ionising radiations cannot be mutations.

(2) Only II is correct

(3) Both I and II are correct

(4) Both I and II are incorrect

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 dominance

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