Which pair is incorrect?

(1) Haemophilia - X linked recessive

(2) baldness - X- linked dominance

(3) colour blindness- X linked recessive

(4) antler in deer - sex limited.

A pure breeding pea plant with the dominant phenotype of character A and recessive phenotype of character B was crossed with another pure breeding plant with the recessive phenotype of character A and dominant phenotype character B. Offspring of this cross was crossed with a homozygous recessive for both the characters A and B. The following results were obtained. 

22 were phenotypically dominant of A and recessive of B

22 were phenotypically recessive for both A and B

22 were phenotypically recessive for A and dominant for B

22 were phenotypically dominant for both A and B 

The results show that 

(1) genes A and B are linked

(2) independent segregation of genes A and B

(3) Mendelian dihybrid inheritance

(4) polygenic inheritance.

A pure tall red plant is crossed with a pure dwarf white plant. The progenies thus produced in F₁ generations are selfed. The different types of gametes that will be produed in F₂ generaion will be

(4) 16
