If Mendel might have studied 7 pairs of characters in a plant with 12 chromosomes instead of 14 then:
| 1. | He could not discover an independent assortment |
| 2. | He might have discovered linkage |
| 3. | He might have discovered crossing over |
| 4. | He might have not observed dominance |
The salivary gland chromosomes in the dipteran larva, are useful in gene mapping because:
| 1. | They have endoreduplication chromosomes |
| 2. | These are fused |
| 3. | These are easy to stain |
| 4. | These are much longer in size |
Study the pedigree chart of a certain family given below and select the correct conclusion which can be drawn for the character:

Represented below is the inheritance pattern of a certain type of traits in humans. Which one of the following conditions could be an example of this pattern?
| 1. | Sickle cell anemia | 2. | Haemophilia |  |
| 3. | Thalassemia | 4. | Phenylketonuria |
Given below [A – E] are suggested causes for the genetic diseases. Select the cause as your answer for the given disease.
| A. | A single nucleotide mutation results in a polar amino acid being substituted by a non-polar amino acid in the polypeptide. |
| B. | Autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism where mutation renders a key enzyme involved in amino acid metabolism non-functional. |
| C. | X-linked recessive condition is more common in males than in females. |
| D. | Caused by a primary autosomal non-disjunction event. |
| E. | Caused by a non-disjunction event in sex chromosomes in either of the sexes. |
