Assertion: In a pedigree analysis, <5> represents five unaffected offsprings.

Reason: In a pedigree analysis, the offsprings are numbered with arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 .....) and a generation is numbered with roman numerals (I, II, III...).

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: Hb^s Hb^s denotes the homozygous condition for sickle-cell anaemia.

Reason: It occurs due to substitution of glutamic acid by valine at the 6 position of (B-chain of Hb.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion : Only a boy child could be born with a substitution of glutamic acid by valine on 6 codon of beta-chain of haemoglobin.

Reason : The gene for the above mutation is found on Y-chromosome.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are hue but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Which of the following conditions represents a case of co-dominant genes?

• A gene expresses itself, suppressing the phenotypic effect of its alleles

• Genes that are similar in phenotypic effect when present separately, but when together interact to produce a different trait

• Alleles, both of which interact to produce a trait, which may or may not resemble either of the parental types

• Alleles, each of which produces an independent effect in a heterozygous condition
