Genes for cytoplasmic male sterility in plants are generally located in

[2003, 05]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 12

Male sterility in plants can be controlled by nuclear genes or cytoplasm or by both. Three different mechanisms for control of male sterility in plants are :
(i) Genetic male sterility;
(ii) Cytoplasmic male sterility;
(iii) Cytoplasmic genetic male sterility. In Maize the genes for cytoplasmic control of male sterility are located in cytoplasm.

Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 13

Nicotiana sylvestris flowers only during long days and  N. tabacum flowers only during short days. If raised in the laboratory under different photoperiods, they can be induced to flower at the same time and can be cross fertilized  to produce self – fertile offspring. What is the best reason for considering N. sylvestris and N. tabacum to be separate species ?

[2003]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 13

Correct option is

C

They cannot interbreed in nature.

The term species evolves from word specific means only those group of plants or animals come under one species which can interbreed and produce fertile offsprings naturally. N. tobacum and N. sylvestris cannot produce flowers naturally have different photoperiods, hence they cannot belong to the same species. Thus the correct answer is 'They can not interbreed in nature.'

[2003]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 15

The seventraits are now know to be present on 4 chromosome. But they do not show linkage, because of large distances between them on the chromosome.

Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 16

[2003]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 16

Dihybrid cross is made between individuals having contrasting traits in order to study the inheritance of two pairs of alleles. Test cross is a back cross between individual with a dominant trait and its recessive parent to know whether the individual is homozygous or heterozygous for the trait.

Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 17

[2003]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 17

Mapping of genes on chromosomes is based on the assumption that genes are arranged on the chromosome and that the percentage of crossing over (recombination frequency) between two genes is an index of their distance apart. Distances between genes is expressed as map units, where, one map unit

[2003]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 19

  Traits or characters which develop only in one sex are called sex-limited characters. They are produced and controlled by the genes which may be located on autosomes in only one sex, eg. Moustaches and beards in human males, breast in human females, milk secretion in human females.

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 21

Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 22

The recessive genes located on X-chromosome in humans are always

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 22

Males have only one X - chromosome. Hence any gene present on the lone X - chromosome expresses itself  in males. Females have two X- chromosomes . The mutant  allele must be present on both the X-Chromosomes  to express itself phenotypically. If only one copy of allele present, then the female only becomes a carrier showing no external manifestation of the gene. Sublethal condition can never arise in males.

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 24

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Test: Heredity And Variation 4 - From Past 28 Years Questions - Question 25

Mitochondria is an organelle present in the cytoplasm. A zygote receives its cytoplasm from the female parent gamete. Hence in the given question, the F2 progenies do not receive the mitochondrial genome from the male parent and mutation is not passed to progenies.
