One of the crosses conducted by Mendel was a ‘test cross’. This cross can be used to:
| 1. | determine whether the individual is heterozygous or homozygous dominant |
| 2. | determine whether a gene is located on a sex chromosome or an autosome |
| 3. | differentiate between incomplete dominance and codominance |
| 4. | identify linkage between two genes |

Which of the following is not correct regarding polygenic inheritance?
| 1. | Main mode of non-allelic genes interaction in corresponding gene series is addition of mainly small particular allele contributions. |
| 2. | The effects of allelic substitution at each of the segregating genes are usually relatively small and interchangeable which results that identical phenotype may be displayed by a great variety of genotypes. |
| 3. | The phenotypic expression of the polygenic characters is undergoing considerable modification by environmental influence. |
| 4. | Polygenic characters show a discontinuous rather than continuous distribution. |
