In an organism, tall phenotype is dominant over recessive dwarf phenotype and the alleles are designated as T and t, respectively. Upon crossing two different individuals, total 250 offsprings were obtained, out of which 124 displayed tall phenotype and rest were dwarf Thus, the genotype of the parents were

• TT $\times$ TT

• TT $\times$ tt

• Tt $\times$ Tt

• Tt $\times$ tt

Which of the, following statements is not true of two genes that show 50% recombination frequency?

• the genes may be on different chromosomes

• the genes are tightly linked

• the genes show independent assortment

• if the genes are present on the same chromosome, they undergo more than one cross overs in every meiosis

If two persons with 'AB' blood group marry and have sufficiently large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group : 'AB' blood group : 'B' blood group in 1 : 2 : 1 ratio. Modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals presence of both 'A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of

• codominance

• incomplete dominance

• partial dominance

• complete dominance

• Incomplete dominance

• Law of dominance

• Inheritance of one gene

• Codominance

The incorrect statement with regard to haemophilia is

• No chance

• 50%

• 25%

• 100%

The frequency of crossing-over occurring between two genes located on the same chromosome depends on

• length of the chromosome

• position of the centromere

• activities of two genes

• distance between two genes
