Inheritance of skin colour in humans is the result of polygenic inheritance or multiple factor inheritance. The inheritance of human skin colour was studied by C.B. Davenport in 1913.
Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of a maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridised, the F2 segregation will show:
higher number of the recombinant types.
segregation in the expected 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio
segregation in 3 : 1 ratio
segregation in 3 : 1 ratio
A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by
crossing of one F2 progeny with male parent
crossing of one F2 progeny with female parent
studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
A human male produces sperms with the genotypes AB, Ab, aB, and ab pertaining to two diallelic characters in equal proportions. What is the corresponding genotype of this person?
AaBb
AaBB
AABb
AABb
Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because
Haploids are reproductively more stable than diploids
mutagens penetrate in haploids more effectively than is diploids
haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
