Q. No.The salivary gland chromosomes in the dipteran larva, are useful in gene mapping because:
1.
They have endoreduplication chromosomes
2.
These are fused
3.
These are easy to stain
4.
These are much longer in size
If Mendel might have studied 7 pairs of characters in a plant with 12 chromosomes instead of 14 then:
| 1. | He could not discover an independent assortment |
| 2. | He might have discovered linkage |
| 3. | He might have discovered crossing over |
| 4. | He might have not observed dominance |
Mental retardation in man occurs due to:
1. Loss of one X chromosome
2. Addition of one X chromosome
3. Slight growth in Y
4. Overgrowth in Y

A self-fertilizing trihybrid plant forms:
| 1. | 4 different gametes and 16 different zygotes |
| 2. | 8 different gametes and 16 different zygotes |
| 3. | 8 different gametes and 32 different zygotes |
| 4. | 8 different gametes and 64 different zygotes |
A gene is said to be dominant if:
| 1. | It expresses its effect only in the homozygous stage |
| 2. | It expresses only in heterozygous condition |
| 3. | It expresses both in homozygous and heterozygous conditions |
| 4. | It is never expressed in any condition |
Study the pedigree chart of a certain family given below and select the correct conclusion which can be drawn for the character:

| 3. | The male parent is homozygous dominant |
| 4. | The female parent is heterozygous |
