Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
Haemophilia is a sex linked disease which is also known as bleeder's disease as the patient will continue to bleed even from a minor cut since he or she does not possess the natural phenomenon of blood clotting due to absence of anti -haemophilic globulin or factor VIII and plasma thromboplastin factor IX essential for it. As a result of continuous bleeding the patient may die of blood loss. Colour blindness is another type of sex linked trait in which the eye fails to distinguish red and green colours. Vision is however, not affected and the colour blind can, lead a normal life, reading, writing and driving (distinguishing traffic lights by their position).
  1. If a haemophilic man marries a woman whose father was haemcphihc and mother was normal then which of the following holds true for their progenies?
  1. Of the total number of daughters, 50% daughters are carrier and $50 \%$ are haemophilic.
  2. All the daughters are haemophilic.
  3. All sons are haemophilic and all daughters are normal.
  4. All sons are normal, all daughters are carriers.
  1. A man whose father was colourblind and mother was normal marries a woman whose father was haemophilic and mother was normal. Which of the following is true for their progenies? [Note: Percentage is from the total number of progenies]
  1. $25 \%$ female progenies carry the gene for both haemophilia and colourblindness.
  2. $25 \%$ male progenies carry only the gene of colourblindness.
  3. $25 \%$ female progenies carry only the gene of colourblindness.
  4. $25 \%$ male progenies and 25% female progenies carry the gene of haemophilia.
  1. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding haemophilia?
  1. It is a dominant disease.
  2. A single protein involved in clotting of blood is affected.
  3. It is recessive disease.
  4. It is Mendelian disorder.
  1. Anup is having colourblindness and is married to Soni who is normal. What is the chance that their son will have the disease?
  1. $100 \%$
  2. $50 \%$
  3. $25 \%$
  4. $0 \%$

While studying inheritance of characters, a teacher gave the example of inheritance of attached earlobe and hypertrichosis of the ear to her students. A man with attached earlobes and extensive hair on pinna married a woman having free earlobes. The couple had four children, one son with attached earlobes and hairy pinna, one son with a free earlobes and hairy pinna and two daughters with attached earlobes. One of the daughters married a man with free earlobes and sparse hair on pinna. Teacher said if this couple would have sons there would be equal chances for both having free or attached earlobes and sparse hair on pinnae.
  1. Attached and free earlobe are respective example of?
  1. Dominant and recessive traits.
  2. Recessive and recessive traits.
  3. Recessive and dominant traits.

  2. Y linked trait
  3. Autosomal dominant trait
  4. Autosomal recessive trait.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
In prokaryotes, DNA is circular and present in the cytoplasm but in eukaryotes, DNA is linear and mainly confined to the nucleus. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long polymer of nucleotides. In 1953, the first correct double-helical structure of DNA was worked out by Watson and Crick. Based on the X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. It is composed of three components, i.e., A phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar and a nitrogenous base. Different forms of DNA are B-DNA, Z-DNA, A-DNA, C-DNA and D-DNA.
  1. Name the linkage present between the nitrogen base and pentose sugar in DNA.
  1. Phosphodiester bond
  2. Phosphodiester bond
  3. Hydrogen bond
  4. None of these
  1. The double helix structure of DNA was proposed by.
  1. James Watson and Francis Crick.
  2. Earwin Chargaff

  2. Major and minor grooves.
  3. Upper and lower side.
  4. Linear and circular part.
