Identify the incorrect statement regarding experiments on Pisum sativum by Gregor Mendel?
1. | He conducted hybridisation experiments on garden peas for seven years (1856-1863) and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms. |
2. | It was for the first time that statical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology. |
3. | Unfortunately his experiments had a small sampling size, which gave less credibility to the data that he collected. |
4. | He investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits. |
Which of the following is a recessive trait for a character choosen by Mendel in garden pea?
1. Violet flower color
2. Yellow pod color
3. Axial flower position
4. Tall stem height
Indentify the incorrect statement:
1. Tall plant produce gametes by meiosis and the dwarf plants by mitosis.
2. Only one allele is transmitted to a gamete.
3. The segregation of alleles is a random process.
4. Gametes will always be pure for the trait.
The ultimate source of allelic variation is:
(1) Recombination
(2) Natural selection
(3) Mutation
(4) Drift
In the case of co-dominance, the F1 generation resembles:
(1) Dominant parent
(2) Recessive parent
(3) Both the parents
(4) None of the parents
What can be the possible blood groups of progeny whose father and mother are of A and B group respectively?
(1) A and B only
(2) AB only
(3) All except O
(4) A, B, AB and O
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 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
What is incorrect for Hemophilia?
1. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected.
2. In an affected indlvidual a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding.
3. The heterozygous female (carrier) for haemophilia may transmit the disease to sons.
4. The possibility of a female becoming a haemophilic is extremely rare because mother of such a female has to be hemophilic and the father should be a carrier.
Sickle cell anaemia results from.
1. A chromosomal aberration
2. Non disjunction of autosome
3. A point mutation
4. Blood transfusion reaction
What is the mode of inheritance of phenylketonuria?
1. Autosomal recessive
2. Autosomal dominant
3. Sex linked recessive
4. Sex linked dominant
