Principles of Inheritance and Variation

What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?

1. Autosomal dominant pattern
2. X-linked recessive inheritance pattern
3. Mendelian inheritance pattern
4. Non-Mendelian inheritance pattern

With the help of given pedigree, find out the probability for the birth of a child having no disease and being a carrier (has the disease mutation in one allele of the gene) in F3 generation. [figure]

1. 1/8
2. Zero
3. 1/4
4. 1/2

Genes R and Y follow independent assortment. If RRYY produce round yellow seeds and rryy produce wrinkled green seeds, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?

1. Phenotypic ratio - 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
2. Phenotypic ratio - 9 : 7
3. Phenotypic ratio - 1 : 2 : 1
4. Phenotypic ratio - 3 : 1
