[1998]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 5 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 1

Test: Heredity And Variation 5 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 2

Albinism is known to be due to an autosomal recessive mutation. The first child of a couple with normal skin pigmentation was an albino. What is the probability that their second child will also be an albino? [

1998]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 5 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 2

A child will be albino only if it is homozygous for albinism genes (since albinism is a recessive character). As parents have normal skin, it means they are hetrozygous. As a result of cross between two heterozygous parents, 25% of the children will be homozygous recessive. The nature of the second child is not affected in any way by the nature of the first child because both are independent events.

Phenomenon of ‘ Industrial melanism ’ demonstrates

[1999]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 5 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 10

During industrial revolution in England the frequency of melanic forms of species of Peppered Moth (Biston betularia)  increased in polluted areas. Generally the moths are light coloured. This change in colour is known as "Industrial melanism". The change was presumed to be a result of natural selection since the melanic moths better matched the blackened tree trunks where they rest during day.

One child is haemophilic (sex-linked trait), while its fraternal twin brother is normal. Which one of the following informations is most appropriate?

[1999]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 5 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 11

The mother must have been a haemophilic carrier (XhX). One of  the twins would have inherited the normal X chromosome and the other would have received the X chromosome carrying the gene for haemophilia.

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 5 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 14

In human the Y chromosome bears  the androgenic factor or the male determining factor. Whereas in Drosophila the ratio of sex chromosomes to autosomes is the factor determining sex of the individual.
