Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Choose the wrong statement

• Failure of segregation of chromatids during cell division results in aneuploidy

• Additional copy of 'X' chromosome in males results in Klinefelter's syndrome

• Closely located genes in a chromosome always assert independently resulting in recombinants

• According to Mendel, recessive character never blend in heterozygous condition

• According to Mendel, recessive character never blend in heterozygous condition

Choose the wrong statement

• In grasshopper, besides autosomes males have only one X-chromosome, whereas females have a pair of X-chromosomes.

• In XY type of sex determination, both males and females have same number of chromosomes.

• In Drosophila, males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas females have a pair of Xchromosome besides autosomes

• In birds, females have one Z and one W chromosomes, whereas males have a pair of Z chromosomes besides autosomes

• In birds, females have one Z and one W chromosomes, whereas males have a pair of Z chromosomes besides autosomes

In sickle cell anemia, the sequence of amino acids from the first to the seventh position of the b-chain of haemoglobin S(HbS) is

• His, Leu, Thr, Pro, Glu, Val, Val

• Val, His, Leu, Thr, Pro, Glu, Glu

• Thr, His, Pro, Val, Pro, Val, Glu

• Glu, His, Leu, Pro, Val, Glu, Glu

• Glu, His, Leu, Pro, Val, Glu, Glu

$\frac{1}{4}$ TT : $\frac{1}{2}$ Tt : $\frac{1}{4}$ tt is the binomial expansion of

• ${\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{T} + \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{t}\right)}^2$

• ${\left(\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{T} + \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{t}\right)}^2$

• ${\left(\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{T} + \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{t}\right)}^2$

• ${\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{T} + \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{t}\right)}^2$

• ${\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{T} + \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{t}\right)}^2$

An example for codominance

• Eye colour in Drosophila

• Seed shape and colour in pea plants

• ABO blood group in man

• Haemophilia in man

• Haemophilia in man

The disorder caused by point mutation is

• Down's syndrome

• Sickle cell anemia
