General Instructions: - ‘* All questions are compulsory. ‘There is no overall choice. However, intemal choices have been provided in question 12. A student must attempt only one of the alternatives in that question. Wherever necessary, neat, and property labeled diagrams should be drawn fo support your answer. SLNO 5 _ANSWERS fi MARKS 1. D) Males and females, respectively 4 2 D) the two genes are separated by a large distance on the same 1 chromosome 3 NN only OLN yg 1 4 (b) form one linkage group. Human males have 12 and females 11 linkage | 1 groups. 5 ‘A. non-homologous chromosomes a 6 (a) For a chromosome, the position of centromere is fixed. It may be located | 1 at the centre (metacentric chromosome), near the centre (submetacentric) subterminal (acrocentric chromosome) or terminal (telocentric chromosome) Position. During anaphase the chromosome bends in the region of centromere. On the basis of the position of centromere, an anaphasic chromosome can have V-shape, L-shape, J-shape or |-shape. Tt (€) Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which your body produces abnormally shaped | 1 red blood cells. The cells are shaped like a crescent or sickle. The gene defect is a known mutation of a single nucleotide (A to T) of the b-globin gene, which results in clutamic acid (Glu) being substituted by valine (Val) at position 6. 8 i- when a single gene affected multiple characters it is known as pleiotropy. | 0.5+ Another example is phenylketonuria, 05+ 05+ ‘A musty odor in the breath, skin or urine, caused by too much phenylalanine | 0.5 in the body Nervous system (neurological) problems that may include seizures Page 1 of 1 4 Scanned with CamScanner‘Skin rashes, such as eczema Lighter skin, hair and eye color than family members, because phenylalanine can't transform into melanin — the pigment responsible for hair and skin tone(any two) 9 141 i- 9 autosomes and one sex chromosome ii- A karyotype is an individual's complete set of chromosomes. 10 Alleles of a particular gene differ from each other genetically in their 2 nucleotide sequences. As a result, their products and traits expressed could be different. Significance: Alleles add variability in the population. 11 ‘A.

This type of result is observed in a test-cross of a dihybrid cross to determine if the individual is homozygous dominant or Page 2nf1 Scanned with CamScannerheterozygous. OR Heterogamety is production of two different types of gametes (either in male / female) Sex determination in Drosophila X X (female) / X Y (male) type. Female (XX) produces only one type of gamete with X chromosome but the male produces two different types of gametes with either X or Y chromosome When a male gamete with X fuses with the female gamete it produces a female progeny (XX) When a male gamete with Y fuses with the female gamete it produces male progeny (XY) | By Test Cross / crossing the plant with unknown genotype with the recessive parent ela Pys te rd [2 PL os af P Dominant Phenotype x tle b Peery] — een Steere earn ert () (i) Incomplete dominance and (ii) Dominance = 1 14444 13 Haemophilia is a sex-linked disorder. In haemophilia, the blood fails to clot when exposed to air and even a small skin injury results in continuous bleeding and can lead to death from the loss of blood. The recessive X linked gene for haemophilia shows characteristic criss- cross inheritance. It's a single gene in male results and disease haemophilia, where is a woman needs two such genes for the same. MTP is the medical termination of pregnancy where the fetus is aborted because of a genetic disorder or severe complications which may arise during the parturition. Here in this case where zygote carries an XX egg then the ploidy of child will be more than 2n and it will have 47 chromosomes instead of 46 and it will result in a disease which is known as Klinefelter syndrome. This is a genetic disease which leads to the feminine characters in the male child. Therefore the doctor suggests MTP in such conditions. Colour blindness is a sex-linked disease. The gene for this disorder is present on the X chromosome. Hence, it is carried by normal females not expressing the disease. If a colour-blind child is born to a normal couple, then the mother would be the carrier of the disease.
