The mechanism of sex determination in grasshoppers is:
1. | XX – XY; male heterogamety |
2. | XX – XY; female heterogamety |
3. | XX – XO; male heterogamety |
4. | XX – XO; female heterogamety |
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 |
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 |
In birds, the mechanism of sex determination is:
1. | XX – XY; male heterogamety |
2. | ZZ – ZW; female heterogamety |
3. | XX – XO; male heterogamety |
4. | ZZ – ZW; male heterogamety |
A couple has a daughter. What is the probability that their next child will be a daughter?
1. | 0 % | 2. | 25 % |
3. | 50 % | 4. | 100 % |
It is unfortunate that in our society women are blamed for producing female children and have been ostracised and ill-treated because:
1. | The sex is determined by the type of sperm fertilizing the egg |
2. | The sex is determined by the type of egg fertilizing the sperm |
3. | The sex is determined by the hormones produced by the fetus |
4. | The sex is determined by God’s Will |
The source of any of the genes located on either of the X chromosomes in a female cannot be:
1. | Her Mother's Father. | 2. | Her Father's Mother. |
3. | Her Mother's Mother. | 4. | Her Father's Father. |
The number of autosomes in a human egg would be:
1. | 22 | 2. | 23 |
3. | 1 | 4. | 2 |
