Principles of Inheritance and Variation

If a diploid cell is treated with colchicine then it becomes : -

1. Tetraploid
2. Monoploid
3. Diploid
4. Triploid

Two non-allelic genes produce the new phenotype when present together but fail to do so independently then it is called

1. Polygene
2. Complementary gene
3. Non-complementary gene
4. Epistasis

A and B genes are linked. What shall be genotype of progeny in a cross between AB/ab and ab/ab?

1. AABB and aabb
2. None
3. AaBb and aabb
4. AAbb and aabb

When dominant and recessive alleles express themselves together it is called

1. Dominance
2. Pseudo dominance
3. Co-dominance
4. Amphidominance

Ratio of complementary genes is

1. 9 : 3 : 4
2. 9 : 7
3. 12 : 3 : 1
4. 9 : 3 : 3 : 4

Independent assortment of genes does not take place when

1. Genes are located on non-homologous chromosomes
2. Genes are linked and located on same chromosome
3. Genes are located on homologous chromosomes
4. All the above

Sickle cell anaemia is due to

1. Change of amino acid in either or chain of haemoglobin
2. Change of amino acid in chain of haemoglobin
3. Change of amino acid in both and chain of haemoglobin
4. Change of amino acid in chain of haemoglobin

Number of Barr bodies in XXXX female is

1. 3
2. 1
3. 2
4. 4

Male XX and female XY sometime occur due to

1. Aneuploidy
2. Deletion
3. Transfer of segments in X and Y chromosomes
4. Hormonal imbalance

Probability of four sons to a couple is : -

1. 116
2. 18
3. 14
4. 132
