Independent assortment of genes does not take place when:
1. | Genes are located on homologous chromosomes |
2. | Genes are linked and located on the same chromosome |
3. | Genes are located on non-homologous chromosome |
4. | All the above |
When a cluster of genes shows linkage behaviour they:
1. Do not show a chromosome map
2. Show recombination during meiosis
3. Do not show independent assortment
4. Induce cell division
Lack of independent assortment of two genes A and B in the fruit fly Drosophila is due to:
1. Recombination
2. Linkage
3. Crossing over
4. Repulsion
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was found to be very suitable for experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance by Morgan and his colleagues because:
1. | a single mating produces two young flies |
2. | smaller female is easily recognisable from a large male |
3. | it completes its life cycle in about two weeks |
4. | it reproduces parthenogenetically |
1. | Henking | 2. | Thomas Hunt Morgan |
3. | Sutton and Boveri | 4. | Alfred Sturtevant |
