Mendel enunciated

Pureline breed refers to

• homozygosity

Barr-body in mammals represents

• one of the two X-chromosomes in the cells

• all heterochromatin of male and female cells

• Y-chromosome of male

In Drosophila, the sex is determined by

• the ratio of pairs of X-chromosomes to the pairs of autosomes

• whether the egg is fertilised or develops parthenogenetically

• the ratio of number of X- chromosomes to the set of autosomes

Genetic map is one that

• shows the stages during the cell division

• shows the distribution of various species in a region

• establishes sites of the genes on a chromosome

• establishes the various stages in gene evolution
