Assertion: XX-XY type of sex determination mechanism is an example of female heterogamety and is found in Drosophila.
Reason: Male heterogamety is seen in moths where males produce two different types of gamete.

If both parents are carriers for thalassaemia, which is an autosomal recessive disorder, what are the chances of pregnancy resulting in an affected child?
25%
100%
No chance
50%
In rabbits, the gene for grey fur (G) is dominant over that for black fur (g). In a litter, if 50% rabbits are grey, then the possible parental cross combination is
GG x Gg
gg X gg
GG x GG
Gg x gg

Haemophilic father transfers the haemophilic gene to his son.
Haemophilic father transfers the haemophilic gene to his daughter.
Carrier mother transfers the haemophilic gene to her son.
Carrier mother transfers the haemophilic gene to her daughter
A.
Haemophilic father transfers the haemophilic gene to his son.
Haemophilia is a sex linked disease. It follows criss-cross inheritance in which father does not pass the sex-linked allele of a trait to his son. The same is passed to the daughter, from where it reaches the grandson, i.e., diagynic. It is because the males have only one X-chromosome which is transferred to the female offspring. Only Y-chromosome of the father is transferred to the male offspring but this sex chromosome does not carry the allele for haemophilia. Mother passes the alleles of a sex-linked trait to both sons and daughters.
If 'A' represents the dominant gene and 'a' represents its recessive allele, which of the following would be the most likely result in the first generation offspring when Aa is crossed with aa ?
All will exhibit dominant phenotype
All will exhibit recessive phenotype
Dominant and recessive phenotypes will be 50% each
Dominant phenotype will be 75%
