(a)ABO blood groups are controlled by a series of three multiple alleles. Different combination of these alleles produce four blood types
A, B, AB and O.

(A) Genotypic ratio is 3 : 1 (B) Phenotypic ratio is 3 : 1
(C) Genotypic ratio = phenotypic ratio (D) Nothing can be concluded
Solution:(Correct Answer:C)
(c)Incomplete dominance shows the 1 : 2 : 1 phenotypic and genotypic ratio.

(7) Who postulated the ’Chromosome Theory of Inheritance’

(A) De Vries (B) Mendel (C) Sutton and Boveri (D) Morgan
Solution:(Correct Answer:C)
It’s Obvious

(8) The number of phenotypes in ABO blood group is

(A) 1 (B) 4 (C) 6 (D) 8
Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
There are three different alleles for human blood type, known as IA, IB, and i. Description of the pair of alleles in our DN A is called the
genotype. Since there are three different alleles, there are a total of six different genotypes at the human ABO genetic locus. The different
possible genotypes are AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, and OO.
The possible human phenotypes for blood group are type A, type B, type AB, and type O.

(9) Which of the following is not correct for gene?

(15) All of this obeys Mendel’s laws except

ss

(A) Codominance (B) Independent assortment (C) Dominance (D) Purity of gametes
la

Solution:(Correct Answer:A)
dc

In the given option only codominance does not obey Mendel’s laws.
The phenomenon of expression of both the alleles in heterozygote is called codominance. As the result the phenotype is different from both
Ve

homozygous genotype.
Examples
1. Blood group is the good example codominance
2. ABO blood groups are controlled by gene I. The gene (I) has three allele I A , I B , i, I A , I B produce slilghtly different form of sugar while i
does not produce any kind of sugar.
3. I A , I B are dominant alleles where as i is recessive alleles
4. Since, there are three different allele, there are six different combination of these three alleles are possible and four phenotypes (A, B, AB
and O)
Genetic Basis of Blood Groups in Human Population
width =′ 44 ’ width =′ 46′ width =′ 66′ width =′ 61′′
Allele from Parent 1 Allele from Parent 2 Genotype Offspring Blood Types of Offspring
IA IA I AI A A
A B A B
I I I I AB
A A
I i I i A
IB IA I AI B AB
B B B B
I I I I B
B B
I i I i B
i i ii O
When I and I are present together they both express their own types of sugars this is because of co-dominance. ABO blood grouping also
A B

provides a good example of multiple alleles.

Here, you can see that there are more than two, i.e, three alleles governing the same character. Since, in an individual only two alleles can be
present multiple alleles can be found only when population studies care made. Dominance is not an autonomous features of a gene. It depends
on much on the gene product

(16) The ABO blood group are controlled by

(A) I−gene (B) c−gene (C) B−gene (D) n−gene
Solution:(Correct Answer:A)
( )
The ABO blood group are controlled by I gene, which have three alleles IiiA, I B , I O i

(17) The figure depicits

(A) Linkage (B) Independent assortment (C) Law of dominance (D) Equational division
Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
The process of gametogenesis or meiosis cell division is shown in the given diagram (in question). Which clearly indicates towards the Mendel’s
law of independent assortment. Because it says two factors of each character assort or separate independent of the factors of other characters
at the time of gamete formation (gametogenesis) and get randomly re-arranged in the offspring producing both parental and new combination
of traits

(18) A pink flowered Snapdragon plant was crossed with a red flowered Snapdragon plant. What type of phenotype/s is/are expected in the
progeny?
(A) Red flowered as well as pink flowered plants (B) Only pink flowered plants
(C) Red, Pink as well as white flowered plants (D) Only red flowered plants

Red flowered snapdragon have genotype RR when they both are crossed

(19) A child with mother of B blood group and father of AB group blood group, will not have the following blood group.
(A) A (B) B (C) AB (D) O
Solution:(Correct Answer:D)

(20) Consider the following statement regarding ABO blood group in human
I. It is controlled by multiple allele
II. It shows codominance
III. Codominance can be manifested phenotypically in human
IV. It follows the Mendel law of inheritance
Which of the following statements (s) are correct?
(A) Only I is correct (B) I and II are correct (C) II and III are correct (D) IV and II are correct
Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
ABO blood group is an example of codominance because both allele express themself and is govern by multiple allele means it is controlled by
more than two allele. ABO blood group system or A, AB, B and O blood group of human cannot judge by using physically the human
individual
