In humans, the condition red-green color blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait. In a family pedigree analysis, you find that two people with normal color vision have a color-blind son. This is possible if the genotypes of the parents are:
1. | XcXc and XcY | 2. | XcXc and XCY |
3. | XCXC and XcY | 4. | XCXc and XCY |
A woman has four daughters. The chance that her next child will be a son is:
1. | 1 | 2. | 0 |
3. | \(1 \over 2\) | 4. | \(1 \over 4\) |
Assuming independent assortment, the ratio of progeny with the genotypes AaBb : Aabb : aaBb : aabb from a dihybrid cross AabB X AaBb will respectively be:
1. | 4 : 3 : 2 : 1 | 2. | 4 : 4 : 2 : 1 |
3. | 4 : 2 : 2 : 1 | 4. | 4 : 2 : 1 : 1 |
The F2 genotypic ratio of a monohybrid cross is:
1. | 1 : 1 | 2. | 3 : 1 |
3. | 1 : 2 : 1 | 4. | 9 : 7 |
A test cross is done to find out:
1. | Fitness of an organism |
2. | Genotype of a plant expressing dominant phenotype |
3. | The suitable parents for a Mendelian Cross |
4. | The hidden genotypic ratio of F2 phenotypes |
Thalassemia is inherited as a/an ____________ condition.
1. | Autosomal recessive | 2. | Autosomal dominant |
3. | Sex linked recessive | 4. | Sex linked dominant |
The number of alleles, the genotypic combinations, and phenotypes in the ABO system are respectively:
1. | 3, 6 and 4 | 2. | 3, 4 and 6 |
3. | 2, 3 and 4 | 4. | 2, 3, and 6 |
When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:
1. | The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes. |
2. | Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes. |
3. | The genes are located on the X chromosome. |
4. | The genes exhibit incomplete dominance. |
Mutations that arise due to changes in a single base pair of DNA are called as:
1. | Chromosomal aberrations | 2. | Point mutations |
3. | Nonsense mutations | 4. | Frameshift mutations |
When there is a change in the chromosome number such that the changes number is not an exact multiple of base number [haploid number], the condition is called as:
1. | Euploidy | 2. | Aneuploidy |
3. | Aberration | 4. | Non-disjunction |
