In the case of starch synthesis in pea seeds [controlled by the B gene], BB homozygotes produce large and round starch grains; bb homozygotes produce smaller and wrinkled starch grains and heterozygotes produce round seeds of intermediate size. What can be inferred from this observation?

1. The gene B mutates at a faster rate
2. The gene B is easily influenced by the environment
3. Dominance is not an autonomous feature of a gene or the product that it has information for.
4. Some genes do not follow the law of segregation.

Identify the incorrect statement:

1. In addition to recombination, the mutation is another phenomenon that leads to variation in DNA.
2. Chromosomal aberrations are commonly observed in cancer cells.
3. A classical example of a point mutation is sickle cell anemia.

What is incorrect for Hemophilia?

1. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected.
2. In an affected individual, a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding.
3. The heterozygous female (carrier) for haemophilia may transmit the disease to her sons.
4. The possibility of a female becoming haemophilic is extremely rare because the mother of such a female has to be hemophilic and the father should be a carrier.
