I: | identifies chromosomes as the carriers of genetic material. |
II: | was given by Sutton and Boveri. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Assertion (A): | The physical basis for segregation is the splitting of centromere during anaphase I of meiosis I. |
Reason (R): | At anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:
1. | The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes. |
2. | Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes. |
3. | The genes are located on the X chromosome. |
4. | The genes exhibit incomplete dominance. |
In a fruit fly, the eye colour trait is located on X-chromosome and the vestigial wing trait is located on an autosome. What is the possibility that a cross between a white-eyed male fruit fly with vestigial wings and a wild-type female who is heterozygous for both traits will result in a female offspring with vestigial wings and white eyes?
1. | 1/16 | 2. | 1/8 |
3. | ¼ | 4. | ½ |
Assertion(A): | Morgan found the use of Drosophila melanogaster as very convenient for his studies. |
Reason(R): | Morgan was studying mutations and Drosophila melanogaster is haploid and expresses all mutations. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
2. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
