Q. No.The mechanism that causes a gene to move from one linkage group to another is called
(1) inversion
(2) duplication
(3) translocation
(4) crossing-over
If a colourblind man marries a woman who is homozygous for normal colour vision, the probalility of their son being colourblind is
(1) 0
(2) 0.5
(3) 0.75
(4) 1
A tall true breeding garden pea plant is crossed with a dwarf true breeding garden pea plant. When the F1 plants were selfed the resulting genotypes were in the ratio of
(1) 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall heterozygous : tall homozygous : Dwarf
(2) 3 : 1 :: Tall : Dwarf
(3) 3 : 1 :: Dwarf : Tall
(4) 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall homozygous : Tall heterogygous : Dwarf
In a test cross involving F1 dihybrid flies, more parental-type offspring were produced than the recombinant type offspring. This indicates
(1) chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis
(2) the two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome
(3) both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene
(4) the two genes are located on two different chromosomes
