Bateson used the terms coupling and repulsion for linkage and crossing over. Name the correct parental or coupling type along with its cross over or repulsion:
Coupling aaBB, aabb; Repulsion AABB, aabb
Coupling AABB, aabb; Repulsion AABB, AAbb
Coupling AAbb, aaBB; Repulsion AaBb, aabb
Coupling AABB, aabb; Repulsion AAbb, aaBB
Which of the following is suitable for experiments on linkage?
AABB x aabb
AaBb x AaBb
aaBB x aaBB
AAbb x AaBB

F2 generation in a Mendelian cross showed that both genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same as 1 : 2 : 1. It represents a case of :
Co-dominance
Dihybrid cross
Monohybrid cross with complete dominance
Monohybrid cross with incomplete dominance
What is the ratio of one pair of contrasting character in F2 of a dihybrid ratio.
3 : 1
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
5 : 3
1 : 2 : 2 : 4 : 1 : 2 : 1 : 2 : 1
Theoretically, the modified allele could be responsible for the production of
I. the normal / less efficient enzyme
II. a non-functional enzyme
III. no enzyme at all
I and II are correct
I and III are correct
I, II and III are correct
II and III are correct
What map unit (Centimorgan) is adopted in the construction of genetic maps?
A unit of distance between two expressed genes representing 10% cross over.
A unit of distance between two expressed genes representing 100% cross over.
A unit of distance between genes on chromosomes, representing 1% cross over.
A unit of distance between genes on chromosomes, representing 50% cross over.
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 :
This experiment does not follow the Principle of Dominance.
Pink colour in F1 is due to incomplete dominance.
Ratio of F2 is 1/4 (Red) : 2/4 (Pink) : 1/4 (White)
Law of Segregation does not apply in this experiment
The frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes was explained by :
T.H. Morgan
Gregor J. Mendel
Alfred Sturtevant
Sutton Boveri
