What can be the possible blood groups of progeny whose father and mother are of A and B group respectively?
(1) A and B only
(2) AB only
(3) All except O
(4) A, B, AB and O
In humans, the dominance relationship between the A and B alleles of ABO blood group gene is an example of
(1) complete dominance.
(2) incomplete dominance.
(3) codominance.
(3) epistasis
Consider the following statements:
I. If we put them through test cross, all homozygous dominant combinations will breed true but heterozygous genotypes will follow the segregation.
II. Two gene interactions such as epistasis do not follow the Menedelian principle of segregation.
III. In any diploid individual, only two alleles can be found, so multiple alleles can be detected only in a population.
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
A gene showing codominance has
(1) one allele dominant on the other
(2) alleles tightly linked on the same chromosome
(3) alleles that are recessive to each other
(4) both alleles independently expressed in the heterozygote
Match the terms in Column I with their description in Column II and choose the correct option.

Multiple alleles are present

4. on non-sister chromatids
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
Which Mendelian idea is depicted by a cross in which the F1 generation resembles both the parents?
(1) Incomplete dominance
(2) Law of dominance
(3) Inheritance of one gene
(4) Codominance
ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by the gene I. It has three alleles — IA, IB 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
Which of the following conditions represents a case of co-dominance genes?
(1) A gene expresses itself, suppressing the phenotypic effect of its alleles.
(2) Genes that are similar in phenotypic effect when present separately, but when together interact to produce a different trait.
(3) Alleles, both of which interact to produce a trait, which may or may not resemble either of the parental types.
(4) Alleles, each of which produces an independent effect in a heterozygous condition.
