Choose the correct alternative:

1. Interaction between two alleles which are present on the same gene locus of two homologous
chromosomes is called
(A) intragenic interaction (B) interallelic interaction
(C) intergenic interaction (D) both (A) and (B)
2. Interaction between the alleles of different genes on the same or different chromosome is called
(A) intergenic (B) nonallelic (C) intragenic (D) both (A) and (B)
3. RR (red) flowered plant of Mirabilis is crossed with rr (white) flowered plant of Mirabilis. All the Rr
offspring are pink. This is an indication that the R gene is
(A) codominant (B) recessive (C) incompletely dominant (D) linked
4. In incomplete dominance, one could get 1 : 2 : 1 ratio in
(A) test cross (B) F2 generation (C) F1 generation (D) R cross
5. Co-dominance differs from incomplete dominance as in co-dominance
(A) the hybrid is intermediate (B) both the genes are expressed equally
(C) dominant gene is expressed in F1generation (D) genotypic ratio is 1 : 1
6. Multiple alleles of a gene always occupy
(A) the same locus on a chromosome (B) the same position on different chromosome
(C) different loci on a chromosome (D) different loci on different chromosomes
7. Blood grouping in humans is controlled by
(A) 4 alleles in which A is dominant. (B) 3 alleles in which AB is co-dominant.
(C) 3 alleles in which none is dominant. (D) 3 alleles in which A is dominant.
8. In pleiotropic inheritance, different traits are controlled by
(A) many genes (B) one or two genes (C) single gene (D) mutation
9. When single character is controlled by two or more genes is called
(A) pleiotropy (B) multiple allelism (C) polygenic inheritance (D) co-dominance
10. The additive or cumulative effect is shown by
(A) Pleiotropic gene (B) Monogene (C) Polygenes (D) Complementary genes
11. Skin colour is controlled by
(A) 2 pairs of genes (B) single gene
(C) 3 pairs of genes (D) 2 pairs of genes with an intragene
12. AaBbCc is the genotype of
(A) fair (B) mulatto (C) pure black (negro) (D) albino
13. F1 hybrid is intermediate between the two parents. The phenomenon is called
(A) co-dominance (B) dominance (C) blending inheritance (D) incomplete dominance
14. In case of incomplete dominance, the monohybrid F2 generation will show
(A) identical genotypic and phenotypic ratio of 3 : 1.
(B) genotypic ratio of 1 : 2 : 1 and phenotypic ratio of 3 : 1.
(C) identical genotypic and phenotypic ratio of 1 : 2 : 1.
(D) genotypic ratio of 3 : 1 and phenotypic ratio of 1 : 2 : 1.
15. Genotype of blood group ‘A’ will be
(A) IAIa (B) IBIB (C) IAIA or IAi (D) IAIc
16. In humans, height is an example of
(A) co-dominance (B) polygenic inheritance (C) jumping genes (D) dominant genes
17. Which of the following genotypes does not produce a sugar polymer on the surface of the RBC?
(A) IAIB (B) IAIA (C) IAIi (D) ii
18. ABO blood grouping is controlled by gene I which has three alleles and show codominance. There are
six genotypes. How many phenotypes in all are possible?
(A) six (B) Three (C) Four (D) Five
19. If two persons with ‘AB’ blood group marry and have sufficiently large number of children, these
children could be classified as ‘A’ blood group : 'AB' blood group : ‘B’ blood group in 1 : 2 : 1 ratio.
Modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals presence of both ‘A’ and ‘B’ type proteins in ‘AB’
blood group individuals. This is an example of
(A) Co-dominance (B) Incomplete dominance (C) Partial dominance (D) Complete dominance
20. A man with blood group ‘A’ marries a woman with blood group ‘B’. What are all the possible blood
groups of their offspring?
(A) A and B only (B) A, B and AB only (C) A, B, AB and O (D) O only
21. Human skin colour is an example of
(A) Intragenic interaction (B) Interallelic interaction (C) Quantitative inheritance (D) Pleiotropy
22. Multiple alleles are present
(A) on different chromosomes. (B) at different loci on the same chromosome.
(C) at the same locus of the chromosome. (D) on non-sister chromatids.
23. Mendel’s laws of inheritance are applicable in
(A) plants raised through tissue culture. (B) only sexually reproducing plants.
(C) only on garden plants. (D) both sexually as well as apomictic plants.
