A cell at the telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at the telophase stage. There is no formation of a cell plate and thus the cell is containing more chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:
1. polyploidy
2. somaclonal variation
3. polyteny
4. aneuploidy
| 1. | Mutations destroy telomerase inhibitor |
| 2. | Mutations inactivate the cell control |
| 3. | Mutations inhibit the production of telomerase |
| 4. | Mutations in proto–oncogenes accelerate the cell cycle |
The movement of a gene from one linkage group to another is called:
2. duplication
3. translocation
4. crossing over
An abnormal human baby with 'XXX' sex chromosomes was born due to:
1. formation of abnormal ova in the mother
2. fusion of two ova and one sperm
3. fusion of two sperms and one ovum
4. formation of abnormal sperms in the father
