16
Q

Offsprings inherit female mitochondria.True/false

A

False.they inherit the cytoplasm

17
Q

Cytoplasmic make sterility is used

A

In sorghum breeding

18
Q

List the 3 types of sterility

A

True
Induced
Functional

19
Q

Differentiate between heteromorphic and homomorphic

A

Heteromorphic is the morphological differences I.e stigma and style
While homomorphic is the difference in size/length of the pistillate and staminate

20
Q

Recessive alleles are deletenous in animal.True/false

A

False.they are deletenous in plants

21
Q

Most cytoplasm are in — gamete

A

Female

22
Q

When does incompatibility occurs

A

After fertilization

23
Q

Differentiate between monoploid,haploid,diploid and polyploid

A

-Monoploid;basic set of chromosomes and represented by X
-Haploid;division of the diploid represented by n.it is the gametic cell
-Diploid;a somatic cell represented by 2n
-polyploid is the state of possessing multiple basic chromosome set

24
Q

The deletion or addition to a specific chromosome is called

A

Aneuploidy

25
Q

The intermediate between two polyploidy extremes are called

A

Segmented Alloploidy

26
Q

What’s the difference between Autoploidy and Alloploidy in polyploidy

A

Autoploidy has the same background and possesses identical genomes from a single ancestral species and it’s on one extreme .While
Alloploidy comprises of two or more genomes,different but relating species and it’s on the other extreme

27
Q

Differentiate between Aneuploid and Euploid

A

Aneuploid deals with specific chromosome
Euploid deals with specific set of chromosome

28
Q

What’s the effect of doubling chromosome

A

It increases size of crops and reduces fertility

29
Q

What brings complexity to the genetics

A

Increasing ploidy level

30
Q

Differentiate between primary introduction and secondary introduction

A

Primary introduction;introduced cultivars can be used directly as cultivars
Secondary introduction;introduced cultivars are used as parents

31
Q

What is H^2B and H^2N

A

H^2B is broadsense heritability
H^2N is narrowsense heritability

32
Q

An activity to survive is referred to as

A

Acclamatization

33
Q

A major difference between the additive variance and dominant variance is

A

Additive variance doesn’t require e interactions with other alleles while dominant variance interacts with other allele to form a greater trait

34
Q

The most useful form of gene action is

A

Additive gene action

35
Q

What’s the difference between qualitative and quantitative traits in terms of heritability

A

Qualitative-low heritability
Quantitative-high heritability

36
Q

When a recessive gene that has been suppressed by dominant allele is able to express itself.this is referred to as

A

Pseudodominance
