Select the correct statement from the ones given below with respect to dihybrid cross:
1. | Tightly linked genes on the same chromosome show higher recombinations |
2. | Genes far apart, on the same chromosome, show very few recombinations |
3. | Genes loosely linked, on the same chromosome, show similar recombinations as the tightly linked ones |
4. | Tightly linked genes on the same chromosome show very few recombinations |
Which one of the following symbols and its representation, used in the human pedigree analysis is correct?
1. | = Mating between relatives |
2. | = Unaffected male |
3. | = Unaffected female |
4. | = male affected |
Sickle cell anaemia is:
1. | an autosomal linked dominant trait |
2. | caused by substitution of valine by glutamic acid in the globin chain of haemoglobin |
3. | caused by a change in base pair of DNA |
4. | characterized by elongated sickle like RBCs with a nucleus |
Point mutation involves:
1. insertion
2. change in single base pair
3. duplication
4. deletion
Study the pedigree chart given below:
What does it show?
1. | Inheritance of a sex-linked inborn error of metabolism |
2. | Inheritance of a condition like phenylketonuria as an autosomal recessive trait |
3. | The pedigree chart is wrong as this is not possible |
4. | Inheritance of a recessive sex-linked disease like haemophilia |
1. | Klinefelter's syndrome-44 autosomes + XXY |
2. | Colourblindness – Y-linked |
3. | Erythroblastosis foetalis-- X-linked |
4. | Down syndrome--44 autosomes + XO |
Inheritance of skin colour in humans is an example of:
1. chromosomal aberration
2. point mutation
3. polygenic inheritance
4. codominance
Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of the maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridized, then F2 segregation will show:
1. higher number of the recombinant types
2. segregation in the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio
3. segregation in a 3:1 ratio
4. higher number of the parental types
A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by:
1. crossing of one F2 progeny with a male parent
2. crossing of one F2 progeny with a female parent
3. studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
4. crossing of one F1 progeny with a male parent
In pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If a heterozygous yellow-seeded plant is crossed with a green-seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green-seeded plants would you expect in F1generation?
1. 50:50
2. 9:1
3. 1:3
4. 3:1
