Q

What is multiple alleles?give example

A

When there are more than two types of alleles governing the same character.
Abo blood grouping of humans

34
Q

As organisms are mostly diploid(have two alleles for a character).how can multiple alleles be found?

A

By population studies

35
Q

From the angle of starch grain size,what type of dominance pea seeds show and from the angle of seed shape what type of dominance pea seeds show in heterozygous condition?

A

From the angle of seed shape,B gene seems to be dominant in Bb condition because round seeds are produced
But from the angle of starch grain size incomplete dominance is seen as the size is intermidiate.

36
Q

Give example of how occasionally a single gene product may produce more than one effect phenotypically

A

Starch synthesis and seed shape in pea seeds

37
Q

What is a dihybrid cross

A

A cross between organisms(pea plants) that differed in two characters(all other characters same)

38
Q

How can 9:3:31 be found methamatically

A

By series combination multiplication of two monohybrid cross

3round:1wrinkled)(3yellow:1green

39
Q

On the basis of which cross Mendel proposed another genralisation law of independent assortment?

A

Dihybrid cross

40
Q

What is law of independent assortment?

A

In a dihybrid cross,segregation of one pair of chatacters is independent of other pair of charcters.
Means theres is 25%frequency of zygote having ry,RY,Ry or rY genes.

41
Q

When did Mendel published his work

A

1865

42
Q

When and which scientists rediscovered Mendel’s work independently?

A

In 1900s deVries,
Correns and
von Tschermak .

43
Q

By which year chromosomal movement during meiosis had been worked out?

A

1902

44
Q

Who noted that the behaviour of chromosomal movement was parallel to genes and used chromosomal movement to explain Mendel’s laws

A

Walter Sutton and Theodore Boveri

45
Q

What did sutton and boveri argued?

A

They argued that pairing and separation of pair of chromosomes would lead to the segregation of a pair of factors they carried.

46
Q

Who created chromosomal theory of inheritence?how?

A

Sutton,

By uniting the knowledge of chromosomal segregation with mendelisn principle.

47
Q

Whose experiments on verification of chromosomal theory of inheritence led to the discovery of the basis for the variation that sexual reproduction produced?

A

Thomas Hunt Morgan.

48
Q

On which animal Thomas Hunt Morgan worked?

A

Fruit flies(Drossophila melanogaster)

49
Q

In drossophila which sex is bigger ?

A

Female-bigger

Male-smaller

50
Q

What Morgan did?what did he observed?

A

He carried out several dihybrid crosses in drossophila to study sex linked genes.
He observed the ratio in f2 deviated significantly from 9:3:3:1.
It meant two genes do not segregate independently as expected when genes are independent.

51
Q

When was frequency of parental combinations were much higher?

A

When two genes are located on a same chromosome in a dihybrid cross.
aka When genes are linked

52
Q

What did Alfred Strutvent did?

A

He used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between them and mapped their position on the chromosome.

53
Q

Which type of sex determination mechanism grasshopper follow

A

XO type

54
Q

Which type of sex determination mechanism birds/fowl follow?

A

ZW

55
Q

What is male heterogamety and female heterogamety

A

When two diff type of gametes are produced by parent it is called heterogamety .
If male -male heterogamety
If female produce two types of ganetes -female heteroganety

56
Q

What did Henking saw and when?

A

In 1891,henking traced a nuclear structure all through spermatogenesis,50%sperms had it 50%didn’t.
He called it X body.
Which was later found that it was a chromosome.now called x chromosome.

57
Q

Why X chromosome is called sex chromosome?

A

Due to its involvement in sex determination

58
Q

What are the two major types of genetic disorders?

A

Mendelian disorders

Chromosomal disorders

59
Q

What is the diff bet mendelian and chromosomal disorders.

A

Mendelian disorders-disorder due to alteration or mutation in single gene
Chromosomal-disorder due to abnormal arrangement(excess/or deficiency )of chromosomes

60
Q

What kind of disease haemophilia is?

A

Sex linked recessive

A single protein of a cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected

61
Q

Queen Victoria was a carrier of which disease?

A

Haemophilia

62
Q

What kind of disease sickle cell anemia is?

A

Autosomal recessive.

63
Q

Sickle cell anemia is caused by?

A

Substitution of glutamic acid by valine at the sixth position of beta globin chain of haemoglobin molecule.

64
Q

What causes substitution of amino acid in the globin protein?

A

Due to singke base substitution at the sixth codon of the beta globin gene from GAG to GUG.

65
Q

What happens in sickle cell anaemia?

A

Haemoglobin polymerises under low oxygen tension causing the change in the shape of RBC.

66
Q

What kind of disease phenylketonuria is?what happens in it.

A

Autosomal recessive.
Patient lacks and enzyme that converts the amino acid phenylaneline to tyrosine.
As a result phenylaneline is accumulated and converted into phenyl pyruvic acuds and other derivatives .
That causes mental retardation.

67
Q

What does gene produce in normal people that is affected in phenyl ketonuria?

A

Enzyme phenyl aneline hydroxylase

68
Q

Phynelketonuria is an example of which type of inheritence?

A

Pleiotropy

69
Q

Besides multiple gene’s effect on single trait ,polygenic inheritence also takes into account?

A

Influence of envirnment

70
Q

Effect of each allele in polygenic inheritence is_______?

A

Additive

71
Q

What is aneuploidy and how it is caused?

A

Gain or loss of chromosomes is called aneuploidy.

Caused by failure of segregation of chromatids during cell division.

72
Q

What is polypoidy?

A

Failure of cytokinesis after telophase results in a whole set of chromosomes in an organism called polypoidy.

73
Q

Polyploidy is common in?

A

Plants

74
Q

What is the cause of down’s syndrome?

A

Caused by additional copy of chromosome number 21(trisomy of 21).

75
Q

Who first described down’s syndrome? And when?

A

Langdon Down in 1866.

76
Q

Down syndrome individual has large head or small head?

A

Small round head

77
Q

What causes klienfelter syndrome?what karyotype it has?

A

Presence of extra X chromosome.

Karyotype of 47,XXY

78
Q

What causes turner syndrome?

A

Absence of one X chromosme.

45 chromosomes with XO.

79
Q

Turner syndrome-(male/female)

Klienfelter sybdrome-(male/female)?

A

Turner-female

Klienfelter-male

80
Q

Gene of sickle cell anemia patient has which codon?

A

GTG
CAC

Which creates GUG in mRNA.

81
Q

1% crossover/recombination frequency means how much map unit distance?17%?

A

Unit distance.
