Assertion (A): Inheritance of genes in which genes present on a particular chromosome show a tendency to get inherited together is termed as Linkage. Reason (R): Very low recombination frequency or strong linkage is shown by the genes grouped on the same chromosome.

A scientist performed the gene mapping experiments in maize. He mapped the gene on chromosomes on the basis of % crossing over between different genes. One map unit corresponds to one % crossing over or recombination. Te genes showing more than 50% recombination were not supposed to be linked on same chromosome. In crossing over studies on maize, scientist observed the following % crossing over between A B, C, d- between. A and D 10% between A and C 3% between genes C and D 7% between genes A and B 5% , and between genes C and B 8% on the basis of above observation find out the correct sequence of tenes Alt B, C, and D on chromosomes :-

Read the following statements. (i) Morgan carried out several monohybrid crosses in Drosophila to study genes that were sex-linked. (ii) Morgan attributed that proportion of parental gene combination is less than the non-parental type due to the physical association. Term recombination was coined by Morgon to describe the generation of non-parental gene combinations. Alfred Strutevent used the frequency of linkage between gene pairs on the same chromosome and fine genetic map. Select how many are incorrect statement(s).

The person A has only B chromosomes in all its gametes. On the other hand, another person C has chromosome D in half of gametes and chromosome E in the other half of gametes. When chromosomes B and D combine during fertilisation, a female zygote results. On the other hand, combination of B and E chromosomes produces a male zygote. (a) What are chromosomes (i) B (ii) D, and (iii) E ? (b) Out of B, D and E, which two chromosomes are of the same type ? (c) Which chromosome is smaller in size ? (d) What is the general name of chromosomes such as B and E ? (e) Out of the two persons A and C, which one is (i) male, and (ii) female ?

Aqeuous solutions of zinc sulphae and iron sulphate were taken in test tubes I and II by four students A,B, C and D. Metal pieces of iron and zinc were dropped in the two solutions and observations made after several hours and recorded in the form of a table as given below: The correct reporting has been made in observation reported by the student:

The genes A,B,C and d are located on the same chromosome in such a way that the distance between A and B is 7 map units, between B an C is 2 map is unit, between C and D is. 4.5 units. What is the distance between A and D? What is the porbability of linkage between B and D and between A and D?

Select incorrect statement (A) Linked genes cause absolute lethality (B) Persons affected by PKU do not show mental disorder (C) F_(2) ratio in codominance and incomplete dominance are same, (D) Sex of male Drosophila is dependent on Y- chromosome
