The correct Answer is:
To determine how many statements are wrong in the provided list, we will analyze each statement one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "The graphical representation to calculate the probability of all possible genotypes of offsprings in a genetic cross was developed by Gregor Mendel." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Mendel used a Punnett square to represent the probabilities of offspring genotypes. 2. **Statement B**: "Failure of segregation of chromatids during cell division results in aneuploidy." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Aneuploidy occurs when there is an improper segregation of chromosomes during cell division. 3. **Statement C**: "Additional copy of 'X' chromosome in males results in Klinefelter's syndrome." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Klinefelter's syndrome is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (XXY). 4. **Statement D**: "Closely located genes in a chromosome always assort independently resulting in recombinants." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Closely located genes tend to be linked and do not assort independently, which reduces the likelihood of recombination. 5. **Statement E**: "According to Mendel, recessive character never blend in heterozygous condition." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Mendel's principle states that dominant traits mask recessive traits in a heterozygous condition, meaning there is no blending. 6. **Statement F**: "Failure of cytokinesis after DNA replication results in polyploidy." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Failure of cytokinesis leads to multinucleated cells, not polyploidy. Polyploidy is a condition where the entire set of chromosomes is duplicated. 7. **Statement G**: "A person affected with phenylketonuria lacks an enzyme that converts the amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. In phenylketonuria (PKU), the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is absent, preventing the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. ### Summary of Findings: - **Correct Statements**: A, B, C, E, G - **Incorrect Statements**: D, F ### Conclusion: There are **2 wrong statements** (D and F). ### Final Answer: The number of wrong statements is **2**. ---
