Lack of independent assortment of two genes 'A' and 'B' in fruit fly Drosophila is due to
repulsion
recombination
linkage
crossing over
In garden pea , yellow colour of cotyledons is dominant over green and round shape of seed is dominant over wrinkled. When a plant with yellow and round seeds is crossed with a plant having yellow and wrinkled seeds, the progeny showed segregation for all the four characters. The probability of obtaining green round seeds in the progeny of this cross is .
1/4
1/8
1/16
3/16
The gene, which controls many characters is called
codominant gene
poly gene
pleiotropic gene
multiple gene
Genes are made up of
histones
hydrocarbons
polynucleotides
lipoproteins
When two hybrids rrTt and Rrtt are crossed, the phenotype ratio of offspring would be .
3 : 1
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
1 : 1
1 : 1 : 1 : 1
Some individuals with blood group A may inherit the genes for blond hair, while other individuals with blood group A may inherit the gene for brown hair. This can be best explained by the principle of
dominance
multiple alleles
independent assortment
incomplete dominance
Genes exhibiting multiple effects are known as
complementary genes
pleiotropic genes
cistrons
pseudogenes
