  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    The phenotypic ratio in the F2  generation of a dihybrid cross is ​

    Solutions

    Because it produces produced nine plants with round, yellow seeds, three plants with round, green seeds, three plants with wrinkled, yellow seeds and one plant with wrinkled, green seeds.therefore the ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    What, according to Medel, was responsible for the inheritance of specific traits?

    Solutions

    • Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance.
    • He attributed these traits being encoded by factors.
    • Later studies showed that these factors are genes.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    A pure tall and a pure dwarf plant were crossed and produced offspring. Offspring were self crossed.Then find out the ratio between true breeding tall to true breeding dwarf ?

    Solutions

    As true tall breeding and true dwarf breeding is seen only a single time in F2 generation, and the remaining are hybtid tall...so the ratio becomes 1 : 2 : 2 : 1.

    But 1 : 1 is the ratio for only true tall breeding and true dwarf breeding in F2 generation.

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

     

    What is the expected outcome of a cross between a homozygous dominant tall pea plant (TT) and a homozygous recessive dwarf pea plant (tt)?

     

    Solutions

     

     

     When a homozygous dominant tall pea plant (TT) is crossed with a homozygous recessive dwarf pea plant (tt), all the offspring (F1 generation) will be heterozygous (Tt) and exhibit the dominant tall phenotype. This is a classic example of Mendel 's law of dominance, where the dominant allele masks the presence of the recessive allele in the heterozygote

     

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    What determines the differences between the progeny and parents?

    Solutions

    • Variation is the difference between individuals within a population.
    • These arise between the progeny and parents/ancestors and form a backbone for natural selection to act on.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    The gene which controls many characters is called

    Solutions

    A single gene may have two or more phenotypic expressions. The multiple phenotypic effect of a single gene is called  pleiotropism. Hence the gene associated with this phenomenon is called  Pleiotropic gene.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Heterozygous purple flower is crossed with recessive white flower. The progeny has the ratio:

    Solutions

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    Mating of an organism to a double recessive in order to determine whether it is homozygous or heterozygous for a character under consideration is called

    Solutions

     Test cross is across made to identify hidden recessive alleles in an individual of unknown genotye. This individual is crossed with one that is homozygous for the allele being investigated (i.e ., a homozygous recessive). The homozygous recessive individual may be the parent of the individual being investigated.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    Which of the following is not a Mendelian disorder?

    Solutions

    All humans have 46 chromosomes, which determine who and what we are genetically. Boys have an X and Y chromosome. Girls have 2 X chromosomes. Turner Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder in girls in which part or all of one of the X-chromosomes is missing.
    This loss of genetic material causes 2 primary features: namely, short stature and underdeveloped ovaries causing delayed or absent puberty. It is usually diagnosed when a girl is noted to be very short and a chromosome blood test is obtained. It should also be suspected if a girl has not developed breasts by 13-14 years of age or had her menstrual period by 15-16 years of age.  Effective hormonal treatment is available for both the short stature and to stimulate normal pubertal changes.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Which of the blood groups can be given to any person?

    Solutions

    Group O is often referred to as the universal red cell donor.
