NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 14
Question: Which of the following pairs is wrongly matched? [NEET - 2018]
Options:
A) XO type sex determination Grasshopper
B) ABO blood grouping Co-dominance
C) Starch synthesis in pea Multiple alleles
D) T.H. Morgan Linkage
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
-
- XO type sex determination in Grasshopper is correctly matched. In grasshoppers, males have one X chromosome (XO) and females have two X chromosomes (XX).
- ABO blood grouping is an example of co-dominance, where both A and B alleles are expressed in the phenotype.
- Starch synthesis in pea plants is not an example of multiple alleles. It is typically controlled by a single gene with two alleles.
- T.H. Morgan is known for his work on linkage and genetic mapping in Drosophila (fruit flies), so this is correctly matched.
Therefore, the pair “Starch synthesis in pea - Multiple alleles” is wrongly matched.
