3 : 1
B
50 : 50
C
9 : 1
D
1 : 3

An autosomal linked dominant trait
C
Caused by substitution of valine by glutamic acid in the β globin chain of haemoglobin

F1 hybrid produces two different progenies
C
F1 hybrid is homozygous

a genotypic ratio of 1 : 1
C
a phenotypic ratio of 3 : 1
D
similar phenotypic and genotypic ratios of 1 : 2 : 1

    in question 2 how it is 50%? plz give explanation

  • mannat

    subsitutuion of GLUTAMIC ACID by VALINE is correct..
    not viceversa..
    in quest 9 .

    excellent!!!!!! i like these questions i hope that these all are going to come in the exam

  • Srimoyee Gupta

    in question 14 what type of ratio has been obeyed? is it a case of incomplete domiance?
