The behaviour of chromosomes and genes can be compared with each other is best explained by which of the following statement?

(1) occur in nucleus

(2) both segregate at the time of gamete formation leading to transmittance of complete pair to a gamete.

(3) Independent pairs( gene) or pair of chromosomes segregate independently of each other or of other pair.

(ii) The ratio of F2 generation is same as that of 9:3:3:1 in this cross.

(iii) The parental combinations are observed more than recombinants.

(iv) According to Morgan Linkage was observed due to chemical association of genes.

(v) All the genes present on same chromosomes have same efficiency to link.

(1) (ii), (iv), (v)

(2) (i), (iii)

(3) (i), (iii), (v)

Mendel’s success was largely due to his choice of the garden pea plant for his experiments. The advantages of using this plant included:

I. Presence of easily observable contrasting traits for many characters.
II. It was possible to control pollination [and hence mating] between different pea plants.
III. A large number of seeds could be produced and statistical analysis was therefore more accurate.
IV. A long generation time means expression of all traits completely.
V. Many observable traits were controlled by single genes.

1. Only I, II and III
2. Only I, II and V
3. Only I, II, III and V
4. Only II, III, IV and V

What was the most significant conclusion that Gregor Mendel drew from his experiments with pea plants?

(1) There is considerable genetic variation in garden peas.

(2) Traits are inherited in discrete units, and are not the results of ʺblending.ʺ

(3) Genes are composed of DNA.

(4) An organism that is homozygous for many recessive traits is at a disadvantage.
