The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect pair, we will analyze each of the given options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: Incomplete dominance and dog flower (Antirrhinum)** - Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes. - The dog flower (Antirrhinum) is a classic example of incomplete dominance, where crossing red and white flowers results in pink flowers. - **Conclusion:** This pair is correct. 2. **Option B: Pleiotropy and phenylketonuria (PKU)** - Pleiotropy refers to a situation where one gene influences multiple phenotypic traits. - Phenylketonuria is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in a single gene that affects multiple metabolic pathways related to phenylalanine metabolism. - **Conclusion:** This pair is correct. 3. **Option C: Female heterogametic grasshopper** - In grasshoppers, the males are heterogametic, meaning they have two different sex chromosomes (X and Y), while females are homogametic, having two of the same sex chromosome (XX). - Therefore, the statement that females are heterogametic is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This pair is incorrect. 4. **Option D: Klinefelter syndrome and XXY** - Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in males who have an extra X chromosome, resulting in the XXY chromosomal pattern. - This is a well-established fact in genetics. - **Conclusion:** This pair is correct. ### Final Answer: The incorrect pair is **Option C: Female heterogametic grasshopper**. ---
