Q. No.Two genes R and y are located very close on the chromosome linkage map on maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridized, then F2 segregation will show:
1. Higher number of the recombinant types
2. Segregation with expected 9:3:3:1 ratio
3. Segregation is 3:1 ratio
4. Higher number of parental types
A woman with two genes (one on each X-chromosome) for haemophilia and one gene for colour blindness on the X-chromosome marries a normal man. How will the progeny be?
| 1. | All sons and daughters are haemophilic and colour blind |
| 2. | Haemophilic and colour blind daughters |
| 3. | 50% haemophilic colour blind sons and 50% haemophilic sons |
| 4. | 50% haemophilic daughters and 50% colour blind daughters |

2. Autosomal linked disease
3. Y-chromosomal linked disease
4. None of the above

In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F1 generation, pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed white, red, and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
| 1. | Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment. |
| 2. | This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance. |
| 3. | The pink colour in F1 is due to incomplete dominance. |
| 4. | Ratio of F2 is 1/4(red):2/4(pink):1/4(white). |
Select the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Human males have one of their sex-chromosome much shorter than the other. |
| 2. | Male fruit fly is heterogametic. |
| 3. | In male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex chromosome. |
| 4. | In domesticated fowls, the sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than the egg. |
