Why two black-body mutants of Drosophila giving wild-type progeny are non‑allelic
10. Two different mutant of Drosophilla gives a mutant black body color. When these mutants are crossed all progeny have wild type color, It means mutation are (1) Codominant (2) […]
How is the complementation test performed in E. coli?
9. In E. coli the complementation test is done by (1) Transformation (2) Obtaining merozygotes (3) Obtaining heterokaryons (4) Making them diploid Concept E. coli is normally haploid, so it has […]
What are two different mutant versions of the same gene called?
8. Mutation at two different loci of the same gene X results in altered functions. These two mutated versions of gene X are called (1) alleles (2) Complementation group (3) […]
Probability that a second child has a recessive disease expressed only in blood group O
