Pure tall plants are crossed with pure dwarf plants. In the F1 generation, all plants were tall. These tall plants of F1 generation were selfed and the ratio of tall to dwarf plants obtained was 3 : 1. This is called
dominance

The trisomy for 21st chromosome is called
Down's syndrome
Turner's syndrome
Sickle cell anaemia
Klinfelter's syndrome
A.
Down's syndrome
Abnormality | Cause | Characteristic |
Down's Syndrome | Trisomy of 21st chromosome (45 A + XX/ XY) | Mental retardation, prominent head, flattened nasal bridge, open mouth, short stature etc |
Turner's Syndrome | Non- disjunction of sex chromosome (2n = 45; 44A +XO) | Sterile female, webbed neck, no breast development, no menstruation or egg production |
Klinefelter's Syndrome | Non- disjunction of sex chromosomes (2n = 47; 44A + XXY) | Sterile male with low IQ, testes underdeveloped. |
Sickle cell anaemia | Molecular gene mutation of gene HbA | Sickle shaped RBCs, do not transport O2 efficiently |
