ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by the gene I. It has three alleles -IA,IB and i. Since there are three different alleles, six different genotypes are possible. How many phenotypes can occur?
1. One
2. Four
3. Two
4. Three
Which one of the following conditions correctly describe the manner of determining the sex in the given example?
1. | Homozygous sex chromosomes (ZZ) determine the female sex in birds. |
2. | XO type of sex chromosomes determine male sex in grasshopper |
3. | XO condition in humans as found in Turner Syndrome, determines female sex. |
4. | Homozygous sex chromosomes (XX) produce males in Drosophila. |

A person with unknown blood group under ABO system, has suffered much blood loss in an accident and needs immediate blood transfusion. His one friend who has a valid certificate of his own blood type offers blood donation without delay. What would have been the type of blood group of the donor friend?
1. Type B
2. Type AB
3. Type O
4. Type A
A certain road accident patient with unknown blood group needs immediate blood transfusion. His one doctor friend at once offers his blood. What was the blood group of the donor?

A normal-visioned man whose father was colour-blind, marries a woman whose father was also colour-
blind. They have their first child as a daughter. What are the chance that this child would be colour–blind?
1. | 100% | 2. | zero percent |

Which one of the following is a wrong statement regarding mutations?
1. Deletion and insertion of base pairs cause frame-shift mutations
2. Cancer cells commonly show chromosomal aberrations
3. UV and Gamma rays are mutagens
4. Change in a single base pair of DNA does not cause mutation
F2 generation in a Mendelian cross showed that both genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same as 1 : 2 : 1 It represents a case of :
1. Co-dominance
2. Dihybrid cross
3. Monohybrid cross with complete dominance
4. Monohybrid cross with incomplete dominance
A test cross is carried out to:
1. Determine the genotype of a plant at F2.
2. Predict whether two traits are linked.
3.Assess the number of alleles of a gene.
4. Determine whether two species or varieties will breed successfully.
The idea of mutations was brought forth by:
1. Hugo de Vries, who worked on evening primrose
2. Gregor Mendel, who worked on Pisumsativum
3. Hardy Weinberg, who worked on allele frequencies in a population
4. Charles Darwin, who observed a wide variety of organisms during sea voyage
