MEDIUM
Match the terms in Column-I with their description in Column-II and choose the correct option:
 
Column – I Column – II
(a) Dominance (i) Many genes govern a single character
(b) Codominance (ii) In a heterozygous organism, only one allele expresses itself
(c) Pleiotropy (iii) In a heterozygous organism, both alleles express themselves fully
(d) Polygenic inheritance (iv) A single gene influences many characters
EASY
The phenomenon where more than two alleles exist in a population of an organism at the same locus on the homologous chromosomes is known as
EASY
In Drosophila, the size of the wings is controlled by _______ number of multiple alleles.
MEDIUM
In Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), a red flower was crossed with a white flower and in F1 generation, pink flowers were obtained. When pink flowers were selfed, the F2 generation showed white, red and pink flowers. Choose the incorrect statement from the following.
MEDIUM

ABO blood type in man is an example of

1. Pleiotropy

2. Incomplete dominance

3. Co-dominance

4. Multiple allelism

Select the code for the correct answer from the options given below:

EASY
In a cross between true-breeding (homozygous) red-flowered and true-breeding (homozygous) white flowered plants, the F1 progeny was pink. The phenotypic and genotypic ratios in F2 progency were 1:2:1. This is because of:
HARD

Choose the correct statements for co-dominance and incomplete dominance respectively from the following.

(i) Codominance
(ii) In complete dominance

(A) F1 generation did not resemble either of the two parents.
(B) In F1 generation new traits other than parents will be expressed.
(C) In F1 generation, the progeny resembles both parents equally.
(D) F1 generation will show a 3:1 ratio.

HARD
When a pure bred, red flower-producing plant of genotype RR is crossed with a pure bred, white flower-producing plant of genotype rr, all the F1 plants produced pink flowers if all the plants in each generation from F1 to F6 are selfed, what will be the percentage of plants with red and white flowers in the final population consisting of a large number of individuals? (Consider that flower colour has no effect on reproduction and survival.)
EASY
Identify the wrong statement with reference to the gene ‘I’ that controls ABO blood groups.
EASY
One of the following is quantitative abnormality of polypeptide globin chain synthesis
MEDIUM
A man with blood group 'A' marries a woman with blood group 'B'. What are all the possible blood groups of their offsprings?
MEDIUM

Assertion (A) : If the allele produces a less functional enzyme or non-functional enzyme the phenotype may be affected.
Reason (R) : The phenotype trait will not be dependent on the functioning of the unmodified allele.

The correct option among the following is:

HARD
How many different blood groups are possible in a diploid species with ABCO blood grouping system involving IA, IB, IC and IO alleles (IOis recessive and others are codominant)?
HARD

Assertion (A): Dominance is not an autonomous feature of gene
Reason (R): Two traits show up equally in the heterozygote's phenotype in codominance

MEDIUM

Study the following statements and identify the correct combinations. The comect statements are
(i) Multiple alleles can occupy different loci on the same chromosome
(ii) Two alleles of gene can form three genotypes in a diploid organism
(iii) When more than two alleles exist in a population of a specific organism is called multiple allelisin
(iv) The number of phenotypes that can occur for multiple alleles is given by the expression n(n+1)2
(v) A well-known example of multiple allelism is ' ABO° blood groups

EASY
Single gene can produce more than one effect, like starch synthesis in pea plant. It has two alleles (B and b) for starch synthesis the phenotypes of which are also given below BB, bb, Bb, which are correct?
(i) BB - round seed, large starch grain.
(ii) bb - wrinkled seed, less starch grain.
(iii) Bb - intermediate size seed, intermediate starch synthesis.
EASY
A man with blood group A marries a woman having blood group. The maximum possible blood groups among their progenies are
EASY
For a particular gene that determines the coat color in a diploid organism, there are three different alleles that are codominant. How many different skin colors are possible in such an organism?
