1. | Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment. |
2. | This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance. |
3. | The pink colour in F1 is due to incomplete dominance. |
4. | Ratio of F2 is 1/4(red):2/4(pink):1/4(white). |
Select the incorrect statement:
1. | Human males have one of their sex-chromosome much shorter than the other. |
2. | Male fruit fly is heterogametic. |
3. | In male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex chromosome. |
4. | In domesticated fowls, the sex of progeny depends on the type of sperm rather than the egg. |
