Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In each pregnancy there is always 50 percent probability of either a male or a female child.
Reason (R): Genetic makeup of the sperm determines the sex of a child.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): In Mendel's dihybrid cross, the F1 hybrid produces gametes of four different genotypes, each with a frequency of 25% of the total gametes produced.
Reason (R): Genes for the characters considered in Mendelian dihybrid cross are not linked and thus there segregation is independent of each other.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Regarding sickle-cell anaemia, heterozygous (HbAHbS) individuals appear unaffected but are carrier of the disorder.
Reason (R): (HbAHbS) individual has sickle cell trait as there is 50% probability of transmission of the mutant gene to the progeny.

In Mendel's dihybrid cross, by taking the characters seed shape and seed colour in pea plant, the phenotypic ratio in F2 generation 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 is obtained. This is because 
 
1. Genes for both the characters are located on the same chromosomes and follow the law of dominance 
2. Alleles of seed shape and seed colour are present on the same locus of a pair of homologous chromosomes
3. Genes for both the characters are present on different chromosomes and follow law of dominance 
4. Genes for seed shape and seed colour are present on the different loci of the same chromosome and follow the law of codominance
