A cell at the telophase stage is observed by a student in a 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

If two persons with' AB' blood group marry and have the sufficiently large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group: 'AB' blood group: 'B' blood group in 1: 2: 1 ratio. The modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals the presence of both' A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of:
1. Incomplete dominance
2. Partial dominance
3. Complete dominance
4. Codominance
