When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome:
1. | The proportion of parental gene combinations was much higher than the non-parental type. |
2. | The proportion of parental gene combinations was much lesser than the non-parental type. |
3. | The proportion of parental gene combinations was equal to the non-parental type. |
4. | Only recombinants are formed. |
Morgan coined the term ______ to describe this physical association of genes on a chromosome and the term _________ to describe the generation of non-parental gene combinations.
1. | Recombination; Linkage | 2. | Linkage, Mutation |
3. | Transposition, Mutation | 4. | Linkage, Recombination |
Genes tightly linked on the same chromosome show:
1. | Very high recombination | 2. | Independent assortment |
3. | Very low recombination | 4. | 50 % recombination |
Morgan, in his experiment on fruit flies, found that the genes white and yellow were very tightly linked and showed:
1. | 50 % recombination | 2. | 37.2 % recombination |
3. | 12.5 % recombination | 4. | 1.3 % recombination |
The progeny of a dihybrid test cross AaBb x aabb show the following genotypes: AaBb 160, Aabb 460, aaBb 440, aabb 140. The recombination frequency between the two loci is:
1. | 12.5 % | 25 % | |
3. | 15 % | 4. | 30 % |
Consider three genes: X, Y, and Z. The recombination frequency between X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z gene pairs was found to be 50%, 25%, and 50%, respectively. What would be the right inference?
1. | genes X and Y are on the same chromosome |
2. | genes X and Z are on different chromosomes |
3. | genes Y and Z are on different chromosomes |
4. | All three genes are located on the same chromosome |
