(1) inversion
(2) duplication
(3) translocation

A tall true breeding garden pea plant is crossed with a dwarf true breeding garden pea plant. When the F1 plants were selfed the resulting genotypes were in the ratio of
(1) 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall heterozygous : tall homozygous : Dwarf
(2) 3 : 1 :: Tall : Dwarf
(3) 3 : 1 :: Dwarf : Tall
(4) 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall homozygous : Tall heterogygous : Dwarf
Pick out the correct statements.
I. Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease
II. Down's syndrome is due to aneuploidy.
III. Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive gene disorder
IV. Sickle cell anaemia is an x - linked recessive gene disorder
(1) II and IV are correct
(2) I, III and IV are correct
(3) I, II and III are correct
(4) I and IV are correct
In a test cross involving F1 dihybrid flies, more parental-type offspring were produced than the recombinant type offspring. This indicates
(1) chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis
(2) the two genes are linked and present on the same chromosome
(3) both of the characters are controlled by more than one gene
(4) the two genes are located on two different chromosomes
