In Mendel's experiments with garden peas, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), and yellow cotyledon (YY) was dominant over green cotyledon (yy). What are the expected phenotypes in the F2 generation of the cross RRYY x rryy?
| 1. | Only round seeds with green cotyledons |
| 2. | Only wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons |
| 3. | Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons |
| 4. | Round seeds with yellow cotyledons and wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons |
If a colourblind woman marries a normal-visioned man, their sons will be:
1. all normal visioned
2. one-half colourblind and one-half normal
3. three-fourths colourblind and one-fourth normal
4. all colourblind
Cri-du-chat syndrome in humans is caused by the:
| 1. | fertilization of an XX egg by a normal y-bearing sperm |
| 2. | loss of half of the short arm of chromosome 5 |
| 3. | loss of half of the long arm of chromosome 5 |
| 4. | trisomy of 21st chromosome |
Both sickle cell anaemia and Huntington’s chorea are:

In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F1 generation, pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed white, red, and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
| 1. | Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment. |
| 2. | This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance. |
| 3. | The pink colour in F1 is due to incomplete dominance. |
| 4. | Ratio of F2 is 1/4(red):2/4(pink):1/4(white). |
Select the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Human males have one of their sex-chromosome much shorter than the other. |
| 2. | Male fruit fly is heterogametic. |
| 3. | In male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex chromosome. |
| 4. | In domesticated fowls, the sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than the egg. |
A gene locus has two alleles A, a. If the frequency of dominant allele A is 0.4, then what will be the frequency of homozygous dominant, heterozygous and homozygous recessive individuals in the population?
| 1. | 0.16 (AA); 0.36 (Aa); 0.48 (aa) |
| 2. | 0.36 (AA); 0.48 (Aa); 0.16 (aa) |
| 3. | 0.16 (AA); 0.24 (Aa); 0.36 (aa) |
| 4. | 0.16 (AA); 0.48 (Aa); 0.36 (aa) |
What map unit (Centimorgan) is adopted in the construction of genetic maps?
| 1. | A unit of distance between genes on chromosomes, representing 50% cross-over. |
| 2. | A unit of distance between two expressed genes, representing 10% cross-over. |
| 3. | A unit of distance between two expressed genes, representing 100% cross-over. |
| 4. | A unit of distance between genes on chromosomes. representing 1% cross-over. |
The frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes was explained by:
| 1. | Sutton Boveri | 2. | T.H. Morgan |
| 3. | Gregor J. Mendel | 4. | Alfred Sturtevant |
