Question 7 |
A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by:
Crossing of one F1 progeny with male parent | |
Crossing of one F2 progeny with male parent | |
Crossing of one F2 progeny with female parent | |
Studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies |
Question 8 |
A man and a women, who do not show any apparent signs of a certain inherited disease, have seven children (2 daughter and 5 sons). Three of the sons suffer from the given disease but none of the daughters are affected. Which of the following mode of inheritance do you suggest for this disease?
Sex-linked recessive | |
Autosomal dominant | |
Sex-limited recessive | |
Sex-linked dominant |
Question 9 |
A person with unknown blood group under ABO system, has suffered much blood loss in an accident and needs immediate blood transfusion. His one friend who has a valid certificate of his own blood type, offers for blood donation without delay. What would have been the type of blood group of the donor friend?
Type A | |
Type B | |
Type AB | |
Type O |
Question 10 |
A self-fertilizing trihybrid plant forms:
8 different gametes and 32 different zygotes | |
8 different gametes and 16 different zygotes | |
8 different gametes and 64 different zygotes | |
4 different gametes and 16 different zygotes |
Question 11 |
Assertion: An organism with lethal mutation may not even develop beyond the zygote stage.
Reason: All types of gene mutations are lethal.
Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. | |
Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. | |
Assertion is true statement but reason is false. | |
Both assertion and reason are false. |
Question 12 |
Excessive growth of hair on the pinna is a feature found only in males because
The gene responsible for the character is recessive in females and dominant only in males | |
The character is induced in males as males produce testosterone | |
The female sex hormone estrogen suppresses the character in females | |
The gene responsible for the character is present on the Y chromosome only |
Question 13 |
Given below is a pedigree chart of a family with five children. It shows the inheritance of attached ear lobes as opposed to the free ones. The squares represent the male individuals and circles the female individuals. Which one of the following conclusions drawn is correct?
The parents are homozygous recessive | |
The trait is Y-linked | |
The parents are homozygous dominant | |
The parents are heterozygous |
Question 14 |
Grain colour in wheat is determined by three pairs of polygene. Following the cross AABBCC (dark colour) x aabbcc (light colour), in F2-generation what proportion of the progeny is likely to resemble either parent
One fourth | |
Less than 5 percent | |
One third | |
None of these |
Question 15 |
Haemophilia is more commonly seen in human males than in human females because
This disease is due to a Y-linked recessive mutation | |
This disease is due to an X-linked recessive mutation | |
This disease is due to an X-linked dominant | |
A greater proportion of girls die in infancy |

Sir please show the answers after the completion of the test thanks
OK Jadeer, we will consider your request.
I have got 93% marks,plz tell me about ques. no.4
i am confused with ques 7…. for testing the genotype of an unknown plant, we generally cross with female parent… k/a test cross. crossing with male gives out cross.. which i think is not liable… am i right????
yes it’s quite write as a test cross is a cross between F1 hybrid with recessive parent (female parent)
please clear the sense of question no 4 i can;t understand it
in question 4, the question is not complete.
incomplete question
