The number of autosomes in a human egg would be:
1. | 22 | 2. | 23 |
3. | 1 | 4. | 2 |
In cases of Phenylketonuria:
1. | The affected individual lacks an enzyme that converts the amino acid tyrosine into phenylalanine. |
2. | The affected individual makes an enzyme that converts the amino acid tyrosine into phenylalanine. |
3. | The affected individual makes an enzyme that converts the amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine. |
4. | The affected individual lacks an enzyme that converts the amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine. |
In sickle cell anaemia, the mutant haemoglobin molecule undergoes:
1. | Polymerisation under low oxygen tension causing changes in the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure |
2. | Depolymerisation under low oxygen tension causing that changes the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure |
3. | Denaturation under high oxygen tension causing changes in the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure |
4. | Denaturation |
T. H. Morgan worked on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Which of the following is not an advantage of this fly?
1. | They could be grown on a simple synthetic medium in the laboratory. |
2. | They complete their life cycle in about two years, and a single mating could produce a large number of progeny flies. |
3. | There was a clear differentiation of the sexes – the male and female flies are easily distinguishable. |
4. | It has many types of hereditary variations that can be seen with low-power microscopes. |
In true breeding, the allelic pair of genes are:
1. | Homologous | 2. | Linked |
3. | Stable | 4. | Homozygous |
What proportion of progeny in F2 generation in a Mendel monohybrid cross resembled the parent [of P generation] that expressed the recessive trait?
1. | ¼ | 2. | ½ |
3. | ¾ | 4. | 2/3 |
During his observation of spermatogenesis in a few insects, Henking found that a nuclear structure was received by 50 % of the sperms. He called this structure as:
1. | X – body | 2. | Y–body |
3. | X – chromosome | 4. | Y – chromosome |
The expression of only one of the parental characters in a monohybrid cross in the F1, the expression of both in the F2 and the proportion of 3:1 obtained at the F2 can be explained by:
1. Law of Dominance
2. Law of segregation
3. Law of Independent Assortment
4. Two-factor interaction
Which of the following is not an X – linked recessive disorder in humans?
1. | Red-green colour blindness |
2. | Haemophilia |
3. | Duchenne muscular dystrophy |
4. | Vitamin D-resistant rickets |
When there is a change in the chromosome number such that the changes number is not an exact multiple of base number [haploid number], the condition is called as:
1. | Euploidy | 2. | Aneuploidy |
3. | Aberration | 4. | Non-disjunction |
