Identify the incorrect statement regarding experiments on Pisum sativum by Gregor Mendel?
| 1. | He conducted hybridisation experiments on garden peas for seven years (1856-1863) and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms. |
| 2. | It was for the first time that statical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology. |
| 3. | Unfortunately his experiments had a small sampling size, which gave less credibility to the data that he collected. |
| 4. | He investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits. |
Which of the following is a recessive trait for a character choosen by Mendel in garden pea?
1. Violet flower color
2. Yellow pod color
3. Axial flower position
4. Tall stem height
Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits or slightly different forms of the same gene are known as
1. Alleles
2. Loci
3. Cistrons
4. Introns
Indentify the incorrect statement:
1. Tall plant produce gametes by meiosis and the dwarf plants by mitosis.
2. Only one allele is transmitted to a gamete.
3. The segregation of alleles is a random process.
4. Gametes will always be pure for the trait.
The law of Segregation is based on the fact that
(1) The Alleles do not show any blending
(2) There is random fertilization
(3) Gametes are pure for the trait
(4) The zygotes are diploid
The ultimate source of allelic variation is:
(1) Recombination
(2) Natural selection
(3) Mutation
(4) Drift
In the case of co-dominance, the F1 generation resembles:
(1) Dominant parent
(2) Recessive parent
(3) Both the parents
(4) None of the parents
