The term "linkage" was coined by :-

1. TH Morgan

2. T Boveri

3. G Mendel

4. W Sulton

A pleiotropic gene

1.   is expressed only in primitive plants

2.   is a gene involved during Pliocene

3.  controls a trait only in combination with another gene

4.   control multiple traits in an individual

A human female with turner's syndrome

(1) has 45 chromosomes with XO

(2) has one additional X-chromosome

(3) exhibits male characters

(4) is able to produce children with normal husband

If two persons 'AB' blood group marry and have 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. Modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals presence of both 'A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of

(1) codominance

(2) incomplete dominance

(3) partial dominance

(4) complete dominance 

The incorrect statement with regard to haemophilia is

(1) it is a sex-linked disease

(2) it is a recessive disease

(3) it is a dominant disease

(4) a single protein involved in the clotting of blood effected

F₂ generation in a Mendelian cross showed that both genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same as 1:2:1. It represents a case of 

(1) codominance

(2) dihybrid cross

(3) monohybrid cross with complete dominance

(4) monohybird cross the incomplete dominance

Which one of the following cannot be explained on the basis of Mendel's Law of Dominance?

(1) The discrete unit controlling a particular character is called a factor

(2) Out of one pair of factors one is dominant, and the other is recessive

(3) Alleles do not show any blendings and both the characters recover as such in F₂ generation.

(4) Factors occur in pairs

ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by the gene I. It has three alleles — I^A, I^B and i. Since there are three different alleles, six different genotypes are possible. How many phenotypes can occur?

(1) Three

(2) One

(3) Four

(4) Two

Select the correct statement from the ones given below with respect to dihybrid cross.

(1) Tightly linked genes on the same chromosome show higher recombinations

(2) Genes far apart on the same chromosome show very few recombinations

(3) Genes loosely linked on the same chromosome show similar recombinations as the tightly linked ones

(4) Tightly linked genes on the same chromosome show very few recombinations.

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
