A common test to find the genotype or hybrid is by :

1. crossing of one F₂ progeny with male parent

2. crossing of one F₂ progeny with female parent

3. studying the sexual behaviour of F₁ progenies

4. crossing of one F₁ progeny with recessive parent

In pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If heterozygous yellow seeded plant is crossed with a green seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green plants would you expect in F₁ generation ?

1. 50 : 50

2. 9 : 1

3. 1 : 3

4. 3 : 1

In Mendel's experiments with garden pea, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), 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 with yellow cotyledons

3. Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons

4. Round seeds with yellow cotyledons and wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons.

Study the pedigree chart of a family showing the inheritance of myotonic dystrophy.

The trait under study is 

1. dominant X-linked

2. recessive X-linked

3. autosomal dominant

4. recessive Y-linked.

If a homozygous red flowered plant is crossed with a homozygous white flowered plant and red colour allele  is completely dominat over white colour allele, the offspring would be 

1. half red-flowered

2. all red-flowred

3. half white-flowered

4. half pink- flowered.

One of the genes present exclusively on the X-chromosome in humans is concerned with

1. baldness

2. red-green colour blindness

3. facial hair/moustaches in males

4. night blindness

Which one of the following pairs of features is a good example of polygenic inheritance?

1. Human height and skin colour

2. ABO blood group in humans and flower colour of Mirabilis jalapa

3. Hair pigment of mouse and tongue rolling in humans

4. Human eye colour and sickle cell anaemia

Mating of an organism to a double recessive in order to determine whether it is homozygous or heterozygous for a character under consideration is called

1. reciprocal cross

2. test cross

3. dihybrid cross

4. back cross

Which of the following is correct ?

1. Henking discovered the small Y-chromosome.

2. Drosophila also shows XX-XY sex determination like human.

3. Birds have ZZ-ZW sex determination, where females are ZZ and males are ZW.

4. Grasshoppers show XX-XY sex determination. 

Which of the following occurs due to monosomy of sex chromosome?

1. Down's syndrome

2. Turner's syndrome

3. Haemophilia

4. Sickle cell anaemia
