Match the terms in column $I$ with their description in column $II$ and choose the correct option.
Column $-I$ | Column $-II$ |
$(A)$ Dominance | $(i)$ Many genesgovern a single character |
$(B)$ Codominance | $(ii)$ In a heterozygousorganism only one allele expresses itself |
$(C)$ Pleiotropy | $(iii)$ In a heterozygousorganism both alleles express themselves fully |
$(D)$ Polygenic | $(iv)$ A single gene inheritanceinfluences many characters |
$A-(iv),B-(i),C-(ii),D-(iii)$
$A-(iv),B-(iii),C-(i),D-(ii)$
$A-(ii),B-(i),C-(iv),D-(iii)$
$A-(ii),B-(iii),C-(iv),D-(i)$
Match the Column - $I$ with $II$
Column - $I$ | Column - $II$ |
$(a)$ Pleiotropic gene | $(i)$ Both allele express equally |
$(b)$ Co-dominance | $(ii)$ Change in nucleotide |
$(c)$ Epistasis | $(iii)$ One gene shows multiple phenotypic expression |
$(d)$ Mutation | $(iv)$ Rust disease |
How many sentence are correct ?
$(i)$ Every gene contains the information to express a particular trait.
$(ii)$ Gene responsible for $\beta$ - thalassemia is present on $21^{st}$ pair of autosomal chromosome.
$(iii)$ Mendel's approach of using mathematics to explain biological phenomena was totally new and unacceptable to many of the biologists of his time.
Pick out the correct statements.
$(1)$ Haemophilia is a sexlinked recessive disease.
