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 |
On self-pollinated a tall F2 plant, the progeny can be:
1. | Tall only | 2. | Dwarf only |
3. | Intermediate in height | 4. | Tall and Dwarf |
Mutations that arise due to changes in a single base pair of DNA are called as:
1. | Chromosomal aberrations | 2. | Point mutations |
3. | Nonsense mutations | 4. | Frameshift mutations |
The inheritance of IA and IB allele exhibit:
1. | Complete dominance | 2. | Incomplete dominance |
3. | Co-dominance | 4. | Lethality |
In humans, the mechanism of sex determination is:
1. | XX – XY; male heterogamety |
2. | XX – XY; female heterogamety |
3. | XX – XO; male heterogamety |
4. | XX – XO; female heterogamety |
When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:
1. | The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes. |
2. | Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes. |
3. | The genes are located on the X chromosome. |
4. | The genes exhibit incomplete dominance. |
In a dissimilar situation, the unit factor that expresses itself is called as:
1. | Dominant | 2. | Recessive |
3. | Epistatic | 4. | Hypostatic |
