Maximum recombination frequency between two genes during meiosis of diploid organism can be (1) 25% (2) 50 % (3) 75 % (4) 100 % Maximum recombination frequency between two genes […]
Understanding Mendel’s Test Cross Ratio in Two-Point Crosses
4. Then typical Mendel test cross ratio in two point cross (1) 9:3:3:1 (2) 1:2:1 (3) 1:1 (4) 1:1:1:1 Introduction: Mendel’s test cross is fundamental in genetic studies to determine […]
Understanding Genetic Map Distance
3. In genetic map, distance between two genes is measured in units of (1) cM (2) A0 (3) bp (4) nm Title: Understanding Genetic Map Distance: Units and Their Significance […]
Understanding the Genetic Cross of Long and Full Endosperm with Short and Shrunken Endosperm in Maize
2. When a cross is made between dominant long and full endosperm (LLSS) and recessive short and shrunken endosperm (Ilss). The progeny obtained 98.3 % were long and full endosperm […]
Frequency of Crossing Over is Directly Proportional to Distance Between Genes
1. Frequency of crossing over is directly proportional to- (1) Length of chromosomes (2) Number of genes (3) Distance between genes (4) Number of chromosomes Frequency of crossing over is […]
Understanding Polydactyly Penetrance
62. Human polydactyly traits having extra fingers or toes are caused by a dominant allele. In a screening it was found that out of 42 individuals having an allele for […]
Understanding Pentadactylity and Its Incomplete Penetrance
61. Pentadactylity is a dominant trait, yet many individuals having single dominant alleles does not show any sign of polydactylity due to (1) Incomplete penetrance (2) Variable expressivity (3) Co […]
Understanding Sex-Influenced Inheritance of Horns in Sheep
60. In some sheep, horns are produced by an autosomal allele, ‘H’ that is dominant in males and recessive in females. H+H+ individuals are hornless. A horned female is crossed […]
Sex-Linked Inheritance of Eye Color
59. In an organism, allele for red eye colour is dominant over the allele for white eye colour. A cross is made between a white eyed male and a red […]
