Morgan observed tight linkage in Drosophila with only 1.3 percent recombination for
1. White eye and yellow body
2. Normal wing and yellow body
3. White eye and miniature wing
4. Yellow body and miniature wing
Morgan coined the term recombination to describe
1. Physical association of genes on a chromosome
2. Generation of new traits by mutation
3. Linkage of two genes on different chromosomes
4. Generation of non-parental gene combinations

Mendel published his work on inheritance of characters in 1865 but it remained unrecognised till 1900 because :-
(a) | He could not provide any physical proof for the existence of factors |
(b) | His concept of factors as stable, discrete units that controlled the expression of traits did not find acceptance from the contemporaries |
(c) | Mendel's approach of using mathematics to explain biological phenomena was totally old |
(d) | Communication was not easy (as it is now) |
1. (a), (b) & (c) are correct
2. (c) & (d) are correct
3. (a), (b) & (d) are correct
4. Only (a) is correct
