    Hershey and Chase
    Correct
  • C
    Watson and Crick

    Sex influenced traits
  • B
    Sex linked traits
    Correct
  • C
    Autosomes
  • D
    Sex limited traits
8
When two genes present on different loci produce the same effect when present alone but interact to form a new trait when present together are called
  • A
    Polymeric genes
  • B
    Supplementary genes
  • C
    Complementary genes
    Correct
  • D
    Duplicate genes
9
Assertion: Duplicate genes are two or more genes found on different chromosomes which produce the same or nearly same phenotypic effect in the dominant state. Reason: Duplicate genes produces same intensity of effect even when present together.
  • A
    Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct
  • B
    Both assertion and reason are incorrect

    Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
  • D
    Both assertion and reason are correct
    Correct
10

    Only statement I and II is correct
  • B
    All statements are incorrect
  • C
    Only statement II and III are correct
  • D
    All statements are correct
