Inheritance of ABO blood groups is an example of multiple allelism. Multiple alleles are three or more alternative forms of genes or alleles occupying the same locus. Bernstein (1925) proposed that inheritance of ABO blood types of man is determined by a series of three allelomorphic genes IA, IB and i.
Crossing over in diploid organisms is responsible for
dominance of genes
linkage between genes
recombination of linked genes
segregation of alleles
When a tall plant with rounded seeds (TTRR) is crossed with a dwarf plant with wrinkled seeds (ttrr), the F1 generation consists of tall plants with rounded seeds. How many types of gametes an F1 plant would produce ?
One
Three
Four
Eight
