In a flowering plant species, there are only two characters for which contrasting traits are present in the population and these genes are on different chromosomes. If we randomly select a seed from a heap of seeds produced by dihybrid individuals of this population, What would be the probability that the plant produced by this seed would have one dominant and one recessive trait?
1. \(\frac{9}{16 }\)
2. \(\frac{3}{8 }\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2 }\)
4. \(\frac{1}{4 }\)

Many of the genes, although they are linked get separated in the coming generations. This is due to 
1. Independent assortment of chromosomes
2. Occurrence of two or more alleles of a gene
3. Crossing over during reduction division
4. Their presence on the same locus of the sister chromatids

If we want to choose a species for experimental verification of chromosomal theory of inheritance, then to which of the following features would we focus that must be present in the species?
a. It can be grown in laboratory.
b. It should have large number of chromosomes.
c. It should produce large number of progenies in a single mating
d. Male and female individuals can be easily distinguishable 
e It should also be reproduce through asexual means.


The correct ones are
1. (b), (d) and (e)
2. (b), (c) and (d)
3. (a), (c) and (d) 
4. (a), (b), (c) and (d)

On the basis of the results obtained in the experiments conducted by Morgan on Drosophila, all of the following conclusions are said to be correct, except
1. Genes for eye colour and body colour are present on the same chromosome but gene for wing size on different chromosome
2. Genes for eye colour and body colour, both are present on the same chromosome
3. There is no gene that controls the wing size is present on Y chromosome
4. 50% sperms in Drosophila do not have the genes for eye colour, body colour and wing size
