Which of the following statements is/are incorrect? (a) Darwin in 1906, coined the term Genetics. (b) Punnett Square is the chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross. (c) The sum of all the genes shared by a population is called as Gene Pool.
Consider the following statements. (a) Genes are found on chromosomes at variable positions. (b) Each gene is responsible for providing a particular trait to an organism. (c) Chemically, gene is a segment of a large poly-nucleotide molecule called DNA and RNA. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Consider the following statements. (a) Pure breeding plants make up the generation P2. (b) One of the numbers of different forms of a gene is called allele. (c) The probability that F1 plant will be TALL is 70%. (d) The probability that F2 plant will be TALL is 50%. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
_________ are associated with a single gene on an autosome (non-sex chromosome), they are called ‘dominant’ because a single copy inherited from either parent is enough to cause this trait to appear.
Consider the following statements. (a) Mendel selected 16 different varieties of the pea and grouped them into eight pairs. (b) The gene responsible for the condition known as sickle-cell anemia demonstrates multiple allele inheritance. (c) When both parents are homozygous for a recessive trait, they run a one-in-four chance that the recessive trait will be expressed in their children. (d) The genotype of the F1 generation is heterozygous. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Consider the following statements. (a) Thomas Morgan worked on drosophila. (b) Emasculation is the process in which anthers are removed from flowers before maturity. (c) Law of segregation is also called law of splitting of hybrids. (d) Davenport introduced the terms genotype and phenotype. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Consider the following sentences. (a) A dominant factor or allele expresses itself in the presence or absence of a recessive trait. (b) Darwin proposed that every part of the body produces very small invisible particles called pangenes. (c) A recessive trait is able to express itself only in the absence of a dominant trait. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Consider the following statements. (a) Mendel used peas to explain a monohybrid cross where two traits were crossed. (b) AB blood group is an example of multiple allele inheritance. (c) Mendel proposed law of independent assortment based on the results of the monohybrid cross. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Consider the following sentences. (a) Test cross is the cross between progeny in F2 generation with its recessive parent. (b) Test cross is done to know the genotype of parents along with the progeny. (c) All test cross are back cross. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Consider the following statements. (a) Mendel's law of Independent Assortment is supported by a 1:1:1:1 test cross ratio. (b) Mendel's law of Segregation is supported by a 1:1:1:1:1 test cross ratio. (c) Assuming complete dominance, a 3:1 phenotypic ratio is expected from mono-hybrid self cross. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Consider the following statements. (a) The heterozygote's phenotype is intermediate between those of the two homozygotes. (b) The heterozygote fully expresses two different and equally expressed alleles. (c) One gene has multiple phenotypic expressions. (d) One gene affects the expression of another gene. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Consider the following statements. (a) Tendency of two or more genes of the same chromosomes to remain together during the process of inheritance is known as crossing over. (b) Homo-gametic is the condition in which there are two different types of gametes formed. (c) In the process of crossing over, the crossing over occurs at two points in the same chromosome pair. (d) Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Consider the following statements. (a) All the genes, which can inherit together from one generation to another generation constitute a linkage group. (b) Genes that are linked but never cross over is known as incomplete linkage. (c) Mutual exchange of blocks of homologous genes between a pair of homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over. (d) The chromosomes in an organism that determine the sex of an individual, are called sex chromosomes. Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Consider the following statements. (a) Blood group O is the universal recipient. (b) Blood group AB is the universal donor. (c) A cross between tall plant with yellow seeds and tall plant with green seeds will produce three tall and green plants; one dwarf and green plant. (d) The antibodies anti A and anti B are called agglutinates. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Consider the following statements. (a) Genetical basis for blood types in human beings is due to the presence of three types of alleles IA, IB, IC. (b) Mendel initially concentrated on the results of two traits at a time. (c) When the inheritance of two traits is considered, they are inherited independently of each other. (d) If parents differing in only one trait were crossed, it is called dihybrid cross. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
