The physiological basis of pleiotropy is:

1. lack of independent assortment in linked genes
2. separation of homologous chromosomes at anaphase I in meiosis I
3. dominance is not an autonomous feature of an allele
4. inter-relationships of many metabolic pathways in the living organisms

Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism for the study of genetics. The advantages of this organism include all the following except:

1. A long life cycle
2. A large number of progeny produced by a single mating
3. Clear differentiation between sexes
4. Hereditary variation is easily seen with low-power microscopes

One of the crosses conducted by Mendel was a ‘test cross’. This cross can be used to:
1. determine whether the individual is heterozygous or homozygous dominant
2. determine whether a gene is located on a sex chromosome or an autosome
3. differentiate between incomplete dominance and codominance
4. identify linkage between two genes
