The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Holandric Traits**: - Holandric traits are those that are associated with the Y chromosome. This means they are only passed from father to son, as only males possess a Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). 2. **Assertion Analysis**: - The assertion states that "Holandric traits are passed from one generation to the next generation." This is true because these traits can indeed be inherited from father to son. 3. **Reason Analysis**: - The reason states that "These traits appear more frequently in one sex than in the other." This is misleading because holandric traits are not present in females at all; they are exclusive to males. Therefore, the statement about frequency is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct relationship is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is that the assertion is true and the reason is false.

  • Read the passages and answer the questions that follow Sex chromosomes of some animals and man besides having genes for sex character also possess gene for non sexual (somatic) characters. These genes for non sexual characters being linked with sex chromosomes are carried with them from one generation to the other. Such non-sexual (somatic) characters linked with sex chromosomes are called sex linked characters or traits, genes for such characters are called sex linked genes and the inheritance of such characters is called sex linked inheritance. The concept of sex-linked inheritance was introduced by T. H. Morgan in 1910, while working on Drosophila melanogaster. A Y-linked gene ........

    A
    is expressed only when homozygous
    B
    is present near the telomere of long arm in human

    A pedigree chart given here, presents a particular generation which shows a trait irrespective of sexes (ie.. present in both male and female). Neither of the parents of the particular generation shows that trait. Draw your conclusion on the basis of the pedigree.

    In a typical Mendelian cross, which is a dihybrid cross, one parent is homozygous for both dominant traits and another parent is homozygous for both recessive traits. In the F_(2) -generation, both parental combination and recombinantions appear. The phenotypic ratio of parental combinations to recombinations is
