- 1. Multiple Choice
Linkage is a phenomenon seen during.....
Mitosis
Meiosis
DNA replication
During a mutation
- 2. Multiple Choice
Crossingover occurs between
Homologous Non sisters
Homologous Sisters
Between both homologous sisters and non sisters
Occurs between different crhomosomes
- 3. Open Ended
What is the difference between Chromatin and Chromosomes? (1 mark)
- 4. Multiple Choice
How many genes can be mapped with the help of a double crossover?
3
2
4
either 2 or 3
- 5. Multiple Choice
If Crossing over is a tool for generating variation in the population, then what is the purpose of the S phase in the cell cycle
S phase is the phase in which mutations mostly occur in the DNA of the cell
S phase is the phase during which DNA is getting condensed to form a chromosome
S phase is the phase during which DNA is replicated in the cell
S phase is the phase during which the proteins needed for mitosis are prepared
- 6. Multiple Choice
The corssing over happens in which stage of Meiosis
Prophase I: Zygotene
Prophase II: Zygotene
Prophase II: Pachytene
Anaphase
Prophase I: Pachytene
- 7. Multiple Choice
The progeny of a test cross is not in a 1:1 ratio, this means
Independent assortment failed to occur
Segregation failed to occur
There was some error in data analysis, the progeny of a test cross are always 1:1
This is because of a lethal gene influence
- 8. Open Ended
Why is a test cross always performed when we need to map the gene distance? (2 marks)
- 9. Multiple Choice
How many progeny will be have if we have 3 genes that are being mapped?
9
8
4
6
- 10. Multiple Choice
During Meiosis at the tetrad stage the paternal chromosome and the maternal chromosome are accurately described as
Homologue sister
homologues
Non Homologue sister
Homologue non sister
sister homologues
- 11. Multiple Choice
If the distance between A/B is 0.12 mu and gene C is on the opposite side of A with respect to B at a distance of 0.23 mu, Which is the central gene in this map
A
B
C
Data insufficient
- 12. Multiple Choice
If the distance between A/B is 0.12 mu and gene C is on the opposite side of A with respect to B at a distance of 0.23 mu, What is the order of the gene linkage map
A - B - C
C - A - B
both A - B - C and C - B - A are possible
The linkage map cannot be detemined as the ratio is not 1:1
A - C - B
- 13. Multiple Choice
If the distance between A/B is 0.12 mu and gene C is on the opposite side of A with respect to B at a distance of 0.23 mu, then distance A/C is (choose the most accurate option)
equal to 0.35 mu
greater than 0.35 mu
lesser than 0.35 mu
equal to or lesser than 0.35 mu
equal to or greater than 0.35 mu
- 14. Multiple Choice
A cross is made between vermilion (v), scute (sc), yellow body (y) fly and a wild type fly. The F1 is test crossed and the F2 progeny are as follows: + + + = 489, v sc y = 470, + sc y = 210, v + + = 218, + + y = 10, v sc + = 6, + sc + = 156, v + y = 141. What is the distance between v & sc and which is the central gene. (1 mk)
v/sc = 0.42 mu and v is the central gene
v/sc = 0.24 mu and y is the central gene
v/sc = 0.42 mu and y is the central gene
v/sc = 0.24 and v is the central gene
- 15. Multiple Choice

0.01875
0.2856
0.1875

- 17. Multiple Choice
This is the reason why Mendel did not recognize linkage phenomenon in his experiments
The characters he studied were present on different chromosomes
He studied only pure characters
He did not have a powerful microscope
The characters he studied did show linkage but he missed it
