The diagram shows two possible arrangements of homologues at metaphase equatorial plate during meiosis and the resultant gametic combinations. This is the physical basis of:
1. Segregation 2. Independent assortment
3. Multiple allelism 4. Pleiotropy

The given diagram shows:
   

1. Exchange of segments between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of first meiosis.
2. Exchange of segments between non-sister chromatids of heterologous chromosomes during prophase I of first meiosis.
3. Reciprocal translocation where there is an exchange of segments between heterologous chromosomes and it is a chromosomal aberration.
4. Inversion, a chromosome aberration, due to non-disjunction of homologues at first meiosis.

Haplo-diploid insects have diploid females from fertilized eggs but haploid males from unfertilized ones. Such a haploid male with red eyes is crossed with a white eyed female. Assuming that the red-eye colour mutation is dominant over white-eye colour, which one of the following statements is true?
1. All females will have white eyes and all males will have red eyes.
2. All females will have red eyes and all males will have white eyes.
3. Half of the males will have red and the other half will have white eyes.
4. Half of the females will have red and the other half will have white eyes.
