Study the pedigree chart given below
What does it show?
1. | Inheritance of a sex-linked inborn error of metabolism like phenylketonuria |
2. | Inheritance of a condition like phenylketonuria as an autosomal recessive trait |
3. | The pedigree chart is wrong as this is not possible |
4. | Inheritance of a recessive sex-linked disease like haemophilia |
Select the incorrect statement from the following
(1) linkage is an exception to the principle of independent assortment in heredity
(2) galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism
(3) small population size results in random genetic drift in a population
(4) baldness is a sex limited trait

A common test to find the genotype or hybrid is by :
(1) crossing of one F2 progeny with male parent
(2) crossing of one F2 progeny with female parent
