Question 18:
If both the parents are carriers for thalassaemia, the chances of an afflicted child to be born to them is :
Question 19:
Assertion (A): When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations is much higher than non-parental type.
Reason (R): Higher parental gene combinations can be attributed to crossing over between two genes.
Question 20:
Assertion (A): A male individual always inherits haemophilia from his mother.
Reason (R): The gene for haemophilia lies on X-chromosome.
Reason (R): The gene for haemophilia lies on X-chromosome.
Question 21:
Assertion (A): In dihybrid crosses involving sex-linked genes in Drosophila generation of non-parental gene combinations are observed.
Reason (R): Two genes present on different chromosomes show linkage and recombination in Drosophila.
Reason (R): Two genes present on different chromosomes show linkage and recombination in Drosophila.
Question 22:
Assertion (A): ABO blood grouping in humans is an example of multiple allelism.
Reason (R): More than two genes in a population govern the same character in ABO blood grouping in humans.
Reason (R): More than two genes in a population govern the same character in ABO blood grouping in humans.
Question 23:
**Assertion (A):** In birds the sex of the offspring is determined by males.
**Reason (R):** Males are homogametic while females are heterogametic.
**Reason (R):** Males are homogametic while females are heterogametic.
