in __________ different forms.
b) Genes that exist in more than two forms are called ______ alleles
c) The phenotypic ratio 9:7 obtained in F2 generation instead of 9:3:3:1

a) Mendel did not deal with (Segregation ; linkage ; incomplete
dominance ; both linkage and incomplete dominance)
b) When Mendel crossed a pure white flower of pea with a pure red
flower , the first generation hydrid had (Only red flowers, only white
flowers , pink flowers , Three red and one white flower)

plant having pure green(yy) and wrinkled(rr) seeds. [3]
i) What would be the nature of the offsprings in the F1 Generation?

5) A genetical disease is caused by a recessive allele(r) the Normal
condition(R) is [Link] mother is a carrier for the disease while
Father has normal alleles [2]
a) Complete the diagram to show possible children
b) Will any of their children may suffer from this genetic disease
6) The figure shows a family predigree to show the inheritance of
haemophilia. [3]
a) Is the allele for the haemophilia dominant or recessive?
b) State the reasons the genotype of individuals 1,2,4.
c) What are the possible genotypes of individuals 3 and 5?
7) Given below is a schematic representation of the inheritance of a
certain feature of seeds of garden pea.
Study it carefully and answer the questions that follow: [3]
a) What is the seed character shown?
b) Is it a monohybrid or dihybrid cross ? Give a logic reason?
c) If we use symbol R and r for the respective alleles shown in figure ,
draw the Punnett square to show genotypes of the progeny in F1
generation.

seeds (r) : [4]
i) Draw a punnett square to show the gametes and offspring when
both the plants have heterozygous round seeds(Rr).
