Q. No.A woman has an X-linked condition on one of her X chromosomes. This chromosome can be inherited by:
1. Only daughters 2. Only sons 3. Only grandchildren 4. Both sons and daughters
Which one from those given below is the period for Mendel's hybridization experiments?
| 1. | 1840-1850 | 2. | 1857-1869 |
| 3. | 1870-1877 | 4. | 1856-1863 |
2. 3:1 :: Tall : Dwarf
3. 3:1:: Dwarf : Tall
4. 1:2:1:: Tall homozygous : Tall heterozygous : Dwarf
| I: | Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease. |
| II: | Down’s syndrome is due to aneuploidy. |
| III: | Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive gene disorder. |
| IV: | Sickle cell anaemia is an X-linked recessive gene disorder |
2. I, III and IV are correct
3. I, II and III are correct
4. I and IV are correct
| 1. | chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis |
| 2. | the two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome |
| 3. | both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene |
| 4. | the two genes are located on two different chromosomes |
Match the terms in Column-I with their description in Column-II and choose the correct option.
| Column-I | Column-II | ||
| A. | Dominance | 1. | Many govern a single character |
| B. | Codominance | 2. | In a heterozygous organism, only one allele expresses itself |
| C. | Pleiotropy | 3. | In a heterozygous organism, both alleles express themselves fully |
| D. | Polygenic inheritance | 4. | A single gene influences many characters |
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 |
| 2. | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 3. | 4 | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| 4. | 2 | 1 | 4 | 3 |
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
Which of the following most appropriately describes haemophilia?
| 1. | X-linked recessive gene disorder |
| 2. | Chromosomal disorder |
| 3. | Dominant gene disorder |
| 4. | Recessive gene disorder |
