It is said that Mendel proposed that the factor controlling any character is discrete and independent. His proposition was based on the:
1. | results of the F3 generation of a cross |
2. | observations that the offspring of a cross made between the plants having two contrasting characters shows only one character without any blending |
3. | self-pollination of F1 offspring |
4. | cross-pollination of F1 generation with recessive parent |

In a plant, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r), and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). A plant with RRTt genotype is crossed with a plant of rrtt genotype. The progeny is:
1. All red fruit, tall 25%
2. All red fruit, tall 50%
3. All red fruit and tall 75%
4. All red fruit and tall.

The most popularly known blood grouping is the ABO grouping. It is named ABO and not ABC, because “O” in it refers to having:
1. | No anitgens A and B on RBCs |
2. | Other antigens besides A and B on RBCs |
3. | Overdominance of this type on the genes for A and B types |
4. | One antibody only - either anti-A or anti-B on the RBCs |

A normal-visioned man whose father was colour-blind, marries a woman whose father was also colour-
blind. They have their first child as a daughter. What are the chance that this child would be colour–blind?
1. | 100% | 2. | zero percent |
3. | 25% | 4. | 50% |
If two persons with 'AB' blood group marry and have a sufficiently large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group: 'AB' blood group: 'B'blood group in a 1:2:1 ratio. The modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals the presence of both' A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of:
1. | Incomplete dominance | 2. | Partial dominance |
3. | Complete dominance | 4. | Codominance |
