Gene which suppresses other gene's activity but does not lie on the same locus is called as
epistatic
supplementary
hypostatic
codominant
A.
epistatic
The phenomenon by which a gene suppresses the phenotypic expression of a non- allelic gene is called epistasis. In F2 generation, the ratio for epistatic gene is 12 : 3.
The alleles which do not show dominant recessive relationship and are able to express themselves independently when present together are called co- dominant alleles.
Supplementary genes are a pair of non- allelic genes, one of which produces its effect independently in the dominant state while the dominant allele of the second gene is without any independent effect. Although, it is able to modify the effect of the former to produce a new trait.
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.

If a homozygous red-flowered plant is crossed with a homozygous white-flowered plant, the offsprings will be
half- white flowered
half- red flowered
all white flowered
all red flowered
Assertion : A gamete may carry either of the traits but not both.
Reason : This is Mendel's second law or law of independent assortment.

Assertion: Blood group 'O' have anti-A & antiB antibodies.
Reason: It does not have any antigens.

Assertion : Haemophilia is a recessive sex linked disease.
Reason : Haemophilia occurs due to mutation of a structural gene on chromosome 15.

XO-chromosomal abnormality in human beings causes
Turner's syndrome
Down's syndrome
Klinefelter's syndrome
None of these
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.
Pure line breed refers to
heterozygosity only
heterozygosity and linkage
homozygosity only
homozygosity and self assortment
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.
