Assertion: Persons suffering from haemophilia fail to produce blood clotting factor VIII.
Reason: Prothrombin producing platelets in such persons are found in very low concentration.

Haemophilia, also called bleeder's disease is a X-linked recessive disorder. The person which contains the recessive gene for haemophilia lacks a normal clotting substance (thromboplastin) in blood. So minor injuries cause continuous bleeding and ultimate death of the person due to hemorrhages.
Haemophilia is of two types : type A characterized by lack of antihaemophilic globulin (factor VIII) and type B characterized by a defect in plasma thromboplastic component (factor IX).
Prothrombin is an inactive plasma protein and is produced by liver. It helps in blood clotting. It is not produced by platelets.
Assertion : Haemophilia is a recessive sex linked disease.
Reason : Haemophilia occurs due to mutation of a structural gene on chromosome 15.

Assertion: A geneticist crossed two plants, he got 50% tall and 50% dwarf progenies.
Reason: It follows Mendelian law as one of the parent plant might be heterozygous.

XO-chromosomal abnormality in human beings causes
Turner's syndrome
Down's syndrome
Klinefelter's syndrome
None of these
Pure line breed refers to
heterozygosity only
heterozygosity and linkage
homozygosity only
homozygosity and self assortment
Gene which suppresses other gene's activity but does not lie on the same locus is called as
epistatic
supplementary
hypostatic
codominant
The distance between two genes in a chromosome is measured in cross-over units which represent
ratio of crossing over between them
percentage of crossing over between them
number of crossing over between them
none of these.
Assertion : A gamete may carry either of the traits but not both.
Reason : This is Mendel's second law or law of independent assortment.

If a homozygous red-flowered plant is crossed with a homozygous white-flowered plant, the offsprings will be
half- white flowered
half- red flowered
