The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster was found to be very suitable for experimental verification of the chromosomal theory of inheritance by Morgan and his colleagues because:

1.  a single mating produces two young flies
2.  smaller female is easily recognisable from a large male
3.  it completes its life cycle in about two weeks
4.  it reproduces parthenogenetically

In antirrhinum, two plants with pink flowers were hybridized. The F1 plants produced red, pink, and white flowers in the proportion of 1 red, 2 pink and 1 white. What could be the genotype of the two plants used for hybridization? Red flower colour is determined by RR, and White by rr genes.

1.  RR 2.  Rr
3.  rr 4.  rrrr

Haemophilia is more commonly seen in human males than in human females because:

1. This disease is due to a Y-linked recessive mutation
2. This disease is due to an X-linked recessive mutation
3. This disease is due to an X-linked dominant mutation
4. A greater proportion of girls die in infancy
