A pea plant parent having violet-coloured flowers with unknown genotype was crossed with a plant having white-coloured flowers. In the progeny, 50% were white. The genotypic constitution of the parent having violet-coloured flowers was

1. homozygous

2. merozygous

3. heterozygous

4. hemizygous

The number of linkage group(s) present in Escherichia coli is 

(1) One

(2) two

(3) four

(4) seven

In two pea plants having red (dominant) coloured flowers with unknown genotypes are crossed, 75% of the flowers are red and 25% are white. The genotypic constitution of the parents having red coloured flowers will be 

(1) both homozygous

(2) one homozygous and other heterozygous

(3) both heterozygous

(4) both hemizygous

Genotypic and phenotypic ratios 1 : 2 : 1 in the offsprings explain the principle of 

(1) dominance

(2) blending inheritance

(3) recessiveness 

(4) All of the above

Sickle cell anaemia is example of 

(1) sex-linked inheritance
