A normal- visioned man whose father was colour. blind, marries a woman whose father was also colour blind. They have their first child as a daughter. what are the chance that this child would be colour blind ?
-
Solution
If a normal visioned man marries a woman whose father was also colour blind. Then his wife would be carried of this disease if her mother was normal. This trait passed into children but daughters produce by this couple are carrier not the colour blind. 50% of sons would be colour blind.
F2 generation in a Mendelian cross showed that both genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same as 1 : 2 : 1. It represents a case of :
-
Solution
Incomplete (partial or mosaic) dominance is the phenomenon where none of the two contrasting alleles or factors is dominant. The expression of the character in a hybrid or F1 individual is intermediate or a fine mixture of the expression of the two factors (as found in homozygous state). Incomplete or mosaic inheritance is not an example of pre-mendelian concept of blending inheritance because the parental types reappear in the F2 generation. It is however, considered by some workers to be an example of quantitative inheritance where only a single gene pair is involved. F2 phenotypic ratio is 1 : 2 : 1, similar to genotypic ratio.
(i) Crl incomplete dominance is reported in flowers of Four O’Clock or Mirabilis jalapa and Antirrhinum majus(Snapdragon or Dog flower).
Inheritances of skin colour in humans is an example of
-
Solution
Inheritance of skin colour in human is controlled by three genes, A, B and C which is polygenic inheritance.
A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by
-
Solution
If a colour blind woman marries a normal visioned man, their sons will be
-
Solution
Colour blindness in a X-chromosome linked character. So they’ll be having all colour blind sons and carrier daughters.
Down’s syndrome is caused by non-disjunction of
In human sex determination the key factor is
The gene of sickle cell anaemia is inherited by
Which one of the following conditions correctly describes the manner of determining the sex in the given example?
-
Solution
In grasshopper the males lack a Y-sex chromosome and have only an X-chromosome. They produce sperm cells that contain either an X chromosome or no sex chromosome, which is designated as O.
The genotype of a plant showing the dominant phenotype can be determined by :
-
Solution
Test cross is the cross of an individual with an individual having recessive phenotype. It is used to determine the genotype of a plant showing the dominant phenotype, that means to determine whether the individual exhibiting dominating characters are homozygous or heterozygous.
