Question # 1

Differentiate between multiple alleles and polygenes..

  • Ans 1: Multiple alleles: If a gene has more than two alternate forms these are called multiple alleles.For example alleles for ABO blood group. E.g,alleles for ABO blood group.
  • Ans 2: Polygenes: When a continuously varying trait is controlled by alleles for two or more than two different gene pairs found at different loci,all influencing the same trait in an additive way,such genes are called polygenes, e.g,genes for controlling skin and eye colour in human.

Question # 1

Differentiate between population & gene pool.

  • Ans 1: Population: Any group of interbreeding organisms of the same species that exist together in both time and space is called a population.e.g 100 diploid plants of pea in a field is an example of population.
  • Ans 2: Gene pool: All the genes or alleles found in a breeding population at a given time are collectively called the gene pool.e.g pea plants has white colors.There will be 100 genes(or 200 alleles) for flower color in gene pool.

Question # 1

Give significance of test cross.

  • Ans 1: Mendel devised a cross called test cross,which is used to test the genotype of an individual showing a dominant phenotype.This cross finds out the homozygous or heterozygous nature of the genotype.

Question # 1

What is hypophosphatemic rickets?

  • Ans 1: It is an X linked dominant trait.It is rare hereditary disease.it does not result from vitamin D deficiency but its cause is a genetic communication failure at molecular level.The genes encoding bone proteins never receive vitamin D message to function.
