A man with blood group 'A' marries a woman with blood group 'B'. What are all the possible blood groups of their offspring?
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 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
| 1. | chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis |
| 2. | the two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome |
| 3. | both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene |
| 4. | the two genes are located on two different chromosomes |
Chromosomal theory of inheritance was proposed by:
1. Sutton and Boveri
2. Bateson and Punnet
3. T. H. Morgan
4. Watson and Crick
If a colourblind man marries a woman who is homozygous for normal colour vision, the probability of their son being colourblind is:
