Q. No.The inheritance pattern of a gene over generations among humans is studied by pedigree analysis. The character studied in the pedigree analysis is equivalent to:
1. quantitative trait 2. Mendelian trait 3. polygenic trait 4. maternal trait
It is said that Mendel proposed that the factor controlling any character is discrete and independent. His proposition was based on the:
| 1. | results of the F3 generation of a cross |
| 2. | observations that the offspring of a cross made between the plants having two contrasting characters shows only one character without any blending |
| 3. | self-pollination of F1 offspring |
| 4. | cross-pollination of F1 generation with recessive parent |
In a plant, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r), and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). A plant with RRTt genotype is crossed with a plant of rrtt genotype. The progeny is:
1. All red fruit, tall 25%
2. All red fruit, tall 50%
3. All red fruit and tall 75%
4. All red fruit and tall.
Which of the following is the most suitable medium for the culture of Drosophila melanogaster?
| 1. | Cow dung | 2. | Moist bread |
| 3. | Agar agar | 4. | Ripe Banana |
A human male produces diallelic sperms in equal proportion AB, Ab, aB, and ab. The genotype of the person would be:
| 1. | Aa Bb | 2. | Aa BB |
| 3. | AA Bb | 4. | AA BB. |
The most popularly known blood grouping is the ABO grouping. It is named ABO and not ABC, because “O” in it refers to having:
| 1. | No anitgens A and B on RBCs |
| 2. | Other antigens besides A and B on RBCs |
| 3. | Overdominance of this type on the genes for A and B types |
| 4. | One antibody only - either anti-A or anti-B on the RBCs |
A normal-visioned man whose father was colour-blind, marries a woman whose father was also colour-
blind. They have their first child as a daughter. What are the chance that this child would be colour–blind?
| 1. | 100% | 2. | zero percent |
| 3. | 25% | 4. | 50% |
If two persons with 'AB' blood group marry and have a sufficiently large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group: 'AB' blood group: 'B'blood group in a 1:2:1 ratio. The modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals the presence of both' A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of:
| 1. | Incomplete dominance | 2. | Partial dominance |
| 3. | Complete dominance | 4. | Codominance |
What is applicable to both Klinefelter’s syndrome and Turner’s syndrome?
| I. | They result from the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes during gamete formation |
| II. | They can be identified by a karyotype |
| III. | They have 44 autosomes |
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
If a father and son are both affected by red-green colour blindness, then what can be said definitely?
| I. | The son has received the trait from the father. |
| II. | The mother of the affected son has to be affected by red-green colour blindness. |
| III. | Any sister of the affected son can never be affected by red-green colour blindness. |
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | None |
