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 |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true |
I: | Gregor Mendel, conducted hybridisation experiments on garden peas for seven years (1856-1863) and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms. |
II: | During Mendel’s investigations into inheritance patterns it was for the first time that statistical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology. |
III: | His experiments had a large sampling size, which gave greater credibility to the data that he collected. |
IV: | Mendel investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits. |
I: | Law of dominance |
II: | Law of segregation |
III: | Law of independent assortment |
I: | Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive; an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the effect of the dominant allele. |
II: | During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. |
III: | Genes of different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. |
I: | In Incomplete Dominance, F1 has a phenotype that does not resemble either of the two parents and is in between the two. |
II: | In Co-Dominance, F1 has a phenotype that resembles both the parents. |
Assertion: | Multiple alleles can be found only when population studies are made. |
Reason: | Multiple alleles for the same gene are always located on heterologous chromosomes. |
