For the experssion of traits genes provide only the potentiality and the enivornment provides the opportunity. Comment on the veracity of the statement.

Read the following statements regarding Mendelian inheritance and choose the correct option 1. Mendel's experiments had samll sample size which gave greater credibility to the data 2. A true breeding line shows a stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations 3. In a dissimilar pair of factors, one member of the pair dominates over the other 4. A recessive parental trait is expressed only in its heterozygous condition 5. Two alleles of a gene are located on homologous sites on homologus chromosomes

In an objective paper, there are two sections of 10 questions each.For "section 1", each question has 5 options and only one optionis correct and "section 2" has 4 options with multiple answers and marks for a question in this section is awarded only if he ticks all correct answers. Marks for each question in "sectionl 1" is 1 and in "section 2" is 3. (There is no negative marking.) If a candidate attempts only two questions by guessing, one from "section 1" and one from "section 2", the probability that he scores in both question is

(ii) In meselson & Stahl experiment the DNA that was extracted from the culture one generation after the transfer from .^(15)N to .^(14)N , was composed of equal amount of hybrid (intermediate) DNA and of light DNA. (iii) In prokaryotes, control f the rate of transcriptional initiation is the predominant site for control of gene expression.
