Study the pedigree chart given below:
What does it show?
1. | Inheritance of a sex-linked inborn error of metabolism |
2. | Inheritance of a condition like phenylketonuria as an autosomal recessive trait |
3. | The pedigree chart is wrong as this is not possible |
4. | Inheritance of a recessive sex-linked disease like haemophilia |

1. | Only round seeds with green cotyledons |
2. | Only wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons |
3. | Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons |
4. | Round seeds with yellow cotyledons and wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons |

Multiple alleles are present:
1. on different chromosomes
2. at different loci on the same chromosome
3. at the same locus of the chromosome
4. on non-sister chromatids
A cell at the telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at the telophase stage. There is no formation of a cell plate and thus the cell is containing more chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:
1. polyploidy
2. somaclonal variation
3. polyteny
4. aneuploidy
