Heterozygous female selected mate to a homozygous male fruit fly with yellow body color and curved wings, four types of offspring will occur

Black body, flat wings 12.5 %

Black body, curve wing 37.5 %

Yellow body, curve wing 12.5 %

Yellow body, flat wings 37.5 %

Which of the following conclusion drawn about nature of inheritance?

A) Black body, curve wing are dominant over yellow body and flat wings.

B) F2 phenotype will not show ratio of 9:3:3:1when inter cross F1 heterozygous

C) Gene for body color and wing shape is incompletely link

D) F1 hybrid genotype having cis configuration of allele

When two independent pure lines AAbb and aaBB of pea with white flowers are crossed, the F1 progeny has purple flowers. Gene A and B link at 20 map unit. The following conclusions were made

A. When an heterozygous individual of the genotype AaBb is test crossed, progenies with purple and white in a ratio of 1:3

B. When an heterozygous individual of the genotype AaBb is test crossed, progenies with purple and white in a ratio of 1:9

C. This is an example of complementary gene action

D. The F2 progeny obtained on selfing shows both pruple and white flower in a ratio of 9:7                                            

Which of the following conclusions are correct?

A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent genes A, B and C. arranged in the same order. The distance between A to B is 15 map unit (mu) and that between B to C is 30 map. The coefficient of coincidence = 0.67. What is the percentage of double recombinants in the progeny obtained from the testcross?

In Neurospora a cross between the genotypes 'A' and 'a' results in an ascus with ascospores of genotypes as shown below: 

 Statements A to D are events that could have occurred during meiosis.

A) Class I is results of no crossing over between the centromere and gene.

B) Class II is results of single crossing over between the centromere and gene

C) Class I shows segregation of alleles 'A' and 'a' in meiosis II

D) Class II shows segregation of alleles 'A' and 'a' in meiosis II
