Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Quantitative inheritance results in a range of measurable phenotypes for a polygenic trait.

  2. Polygenic traits often demonstrate continuous variation.

  3. Alleles of quantitative trait loci (QTL) have only non allelic additive effect on the character

  4. Alleles governing quantitative traits can segregate and assort independently when loci present on different linkage group.

You are studying regulation of the yeast enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS), which is encoded by the GLN1 gene. You have isolated two mutants, designated gln2– and gln3–, that give decreased GS activity. Mating of either gln2– or gln3– haploids to wild type produces heterozygous diploids that show normal amounts of GS expression. When you cross either a gln2– or gln3– haploid to a gln1– strain the resulting diploids show normal expression of GS.              
 How many units of ß-galactiosidase would you expect to be expressed from deletion 4 in a gln2– mutant?

In the case of the French flag model. we assume a source of morphogen at one end and a sink at the other and that the concentrations of morphogen at both ends are kept constant but are different from each other. If the cells can respond to threshold concentrations of the morphogen, Thresholds can represent the
a. amount of morphogen that must bind to receptors to activate an intracellular signaling system. 
b. concentrations of transcription factors required to activate particular genes.
c. concentration at any point effectively provides positional information.
d. amount of morphogen that must bind to receptors to inactivate an extracellular signaling system.
