A cow with red coat is crossed with a bull having white coat. Their offspring produced in `F_(1)` generation showed roan coat. This effect is produced due to juxtaposition of small patches of red and white colour. What can be assumed about the gene controlling coat colour in cattle ?

A

The alleles of gene controlling coat colour show a perfect dominant recessive relationship

B

The alleles of gene controlling coat colour are imcompletely dominant

C

The alleles of gene controlling coat colour are codominant

D

none of these

A true breeding plant producing red flowrs is crossed with a pure plant producing white flowers . Allele for red colour of flower is dominant . After selfing the plants of first filial generation , the proportion of plants producing white flowers in the progeny would be :

In a dihybrid cross, white-eyed, yellow -bodied female Drosophila was crossed with red-eyed, brown - bodied male Drosophila, produced in F_(2) - generation are 1.3% recombinants and 98.7% progeny with parental type combinations. This observation of Morgan deviated from Mendelian F_(2) - phenotypic dihybrid ratio. Explain giving reasons, Morgan's observations

In maize, coloured endosprem (C) is dominant over colourless (c) , and full endosperm (R) is dominant over shrunken (r). When a dihybrid of F_(1) generation was test crossed, it produced four phenotypes in the following percentage : Coloured full - 48 % Coloured shrunken - 5 % Colourless full - 7 % Colourless shrunken - 40 % From this data, what will be the distance between two non-allelic genes ?

In mice, black coat colour (allele B) is dominant to brown coat colour (allele b). The offspring of a cross between a black mouse (BB) and a brown mouse (bb) were allowed to interbreed. What percentage of the progeny would have black coats ?

If four o' clock plants, the gene for red flower colour (R) is incompletely dominant over the gene for white flower colour (r), hence the plants heterozygous for flower colour (Rr) have pink flower. What will be the ratio of offsprings in a cross between the red flowers and pink flowers ?
