1.   is expressed only in primitive plants

2.   is a gene involved during Pliocene

3.  controls a trait only in combination with another gene

4.   control multiple traits in an individual

Multiple alleles are present 

1. on different chromosomes

2. at different loci on the same chromosome

3. at the same locus of the chromosome

4. on non-sister chromatids

An abnormal human baby with 'XXX' sex chromosomes was born due to

1. formation of abnormal sperms in the father

2. formation of abnormal ova in the mother

3. fusion of two ova and one sperm

4. fusion of two ova and two sperm

Alleles are

A human female with turner's syndrome

Which of the following statements is not true of two genes that show 50% recombination frequency?

(1) the genes may be on different chromosomes 

(2) the genes are tightly linked

(3) the genes show independent assortment

(4) If the genes are present on the same chromosome, they undergo more than one crossovers in every meiosis

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

(1) Incomplete dominance

(2) Law of dominance

(3) Inheritance of one gene

(4) Codominance

(1) it is a sex-linked disease

(2) it is a recessive disease

(3) it is a dominant disease

(4) a single protein involved in the clotting of blood effected
