15. When two mutants having the same phenotype were crossed, the progeny obtained showed a wild-type phenotype. Thus the mutations are (1) non-allelic. (2) allelic. (3) segregating from each other. […]

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 […]
