Q. No.In Mendel's experiments with garden peas, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), and 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 seeds with yellow cotyledons
3.
Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons
4.
Round seeds with yellow cotyledons and wrinkled
seeds with yellow cotyledons
seeds with yellow cotyledons
Test cross involves:
| 1. | crossing between two genotypes with recessive trait |
| 2. | crossing between two F1 hybrids |
| 3. | crossing the F1 hybrid with a double recessive genotype |
| 4. | crossing between two genotypes with the trait |
In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F1 generation, pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed white, red, and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
| 1. | Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment. |
| 2. | This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance. |
| 3. | The pink colour in F1 is due to incomplete dominance. |
| 4. | Ratio of F2 is 1/4(red):2/4(pink):1/4(white). |
Select the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Human males have one of their sex-chromosome much shorter than the other. |
| 2. | Male fruit fly is heterogametic. |
| 3. | In male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex chromosome. |
| 4. | In domesticated fowls, the sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than the egg. |
What is the genetic disorder in which an individual has an overall masculine development gynaecomastia, and is sterile?
| 1. | Down's syndrome | 2. | Turner's syndrome |
| 3. | Klinefelter's syndrome | 4. | Edward syndrome |
Which one of the following is an example of polygenic inheritance?
1. Flower colour in Mirabilis jalapa
2. Production of male honey bee
3. Pod shape in garden pea
4. Skin colour in humans
In pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If a heterozygous yellow-seeded plant is crossed with a green-seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green-seeded plants would you expect in F1generation?
1. 50:50
2. 9:1
3. 1:3
4. 3:1
A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by:
1. crossing of one F2 progeny with a male parent
2. crossing of one F2 progeny with a female parent
3. studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
4. crossing of one F1 progeny with a male parent
Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of the maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridized, then F2 segregation will show:
1. higher number of the recombinant types
2. segregation in the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio
3. segregation in a 3:1 ratio
4. higher number of the parental types
Inheritance of skin colour in humans is an example of:
1. chromosomal aberration
2. point mutation
3. polygenic inheritance
4. codominance
