Statement I: | Genes are the units of inheritance and contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism. |
Statement II: | Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different forms of the same gene |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
1. | Mendel found the phenotype of the F1 heterozygote Tt to be exactly like the TT parent in appearance. |
2. | He proposed that in a pair of dissimilar factors, one dominates the other. |
3. | It is convenient (and logical) to use the capital and lower case of an alphabetical symbol to remember this concept of dominance and recessiveness. |
4. | It is convenient (and logical) to use the capital and lower case of different alphabets symbol to remember this concept of dominance and recessiveness. |
I: | Homozygous dominant progeny |
II: | Homozygous recessive progeny |
III: | Heterozygous progeny |
Assertion (A): | Mendel self-pollinated the F2 plants and found that dwarf F2 plants continued to generate dwarf plants in F3 and F4 generations. |
Reason (R): | The genotype of the dwarfs was homozygous. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains Assertion. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
I: | \(Rr \times Rr\) | II: | \(Rr \times rr\) |
III: | \(RR \times rr\) | IV: | \(Rr \times RR\) |
Assertion: | Female must have the colour blindness gene on both of their X chromosomes to be colour blind. |
Reason: | Colour blindness is a sex linked dominant trait. |
1. | Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion. |
2. | Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion. |
3. | Assertion is false and Reason is also false. |
4. | Assertion is true but Reason is false. |
