In which genetic condition, each cell in the affected person, has three sex chromosomes XXY?
1. Thalassemia
2. Klinefelter's Syndrome
3. Phenylketonuria
4. Turner's Syndrome
“Chromosomes, which are seen in all dividing cells and pass from one generation to the next, are the basis for all genetic inheritance”.

A disease caused by an autosomal primary non-disjunction is:
1. Down's Syndrome
2. Klinefelter's Syndrome
3. Turner's Syndrome
4. Sickle Cell Anemia
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are caused due to a problem in globin molecule synthesis. Select the correct statement :
1. | Both are due to a qualitative defect in globin chain synthesis. |
2. | Both are due to a quantitative defect in globin chain synthesis. |
3. | Thalassemia is due to less synthesis of globin molecules. |
4. | Sickle cell anemia is due to a quantitative problem of globin molecules |
The genotypes of a Husband and Wife are IAIB and IAi .
Among the blood types of their children how many different genotypes and phenotypes are possible
1. 3 genotypes ; 3 phenotypes
2. 3 genotypes; 4 phenotypes
3. 4 genotypes ; 3 Phenotypes
4. 4 genotypes ; 4 phenotypes
The mechanism that causes a gene to move from one linkage group to another is called
1. Crossing-over
2. inversion
3. duplication
4. translocation
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 the cell plate and thus the cell is containing more chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:
1. Polyteny
2. Aneuploidy
3. Polyploidy
4. Somaclonal variation
