Correlation between life span and the ability of fibroblasts to repair DNA in various mammalian species, Repair capacity is represented in autoradiography by the number of grains from radioactive thymidine per cell nucleus. According to graph, which factor exist on x-axis ? Note that the y-axis (life span) is logarithmic.

In the pearl millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and Rp3 (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 >Rp2 >Rp3). Which of the following parental cross would produce ½ had red, ¼ purple, ¼ green?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?
