1. | Polyteny | 2. | Aneuploidy |
3. | Polyploidy | 4. | Euploidy |
Statement I: | It is not necessary that the dominant allele will be the most common allele in a population. |
Statement II: | Dominance is not an autonomous feature of an allele. |
1. | The two genes are likely to be located on different chromosomes. |
2. | All of the offspring have combinations of traits that match one of the two parents. |
3. | The genes are located on sex chromosomes. |
4. | Abnormal meiosis has occurred. |
1. | Incomplete dominance results in progeny not resembling either of the parents, whereas co-dominance results in progeny resembling both parents. |
2. | Incomplete dominance involves multiple alleles, while co-dominance does not. |
3. | Co-dominance occurs in phenotypes only, while incomplete dominance occurs in genotypes. |
4. | Incomplete dominance is a type of sex-linked inheritance, whereas co-dominance occurs in autosomes. |

1. | Identifying physical locations of genes on a chromosome. |
2. | Predicting possible traits in the offspring. |
3. | Estimating distances between genes based on the frequency of recombination. |
4. | Determining the exact sequence of nucleotides in a gene. |
1. | Alleles separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. |
2. | Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. |
3. | Each allele in a pair segregates into a different sex chromosome. |
4. | Phenotypes segregate during gamete formation, leading to genetic variation. |
Assertion (A): | The strength of linkage between two genes is directly proportional to the distance between them on the chromosome. |
Reason (R): | Genes that are farther apart are less likely to be separated by recombination. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is False. |
