Outcrossing and Crossbreeding.

Answer

OutcrossingCrossbreeding
1. Breeding of animals of the same breed but having no common ancestors for 4 to 6 generations is known as outcrossing.1. Breeding of superior male of one breed with superior female of another breed is known as crossbreeding.
2. Progeny is known as outeross. 2. Progeny is known as hybrid.
3. New breeds are not developed by outcrossing.3. New breeds or hybrids are formed by crossbreeding.
4. An outcross helps to overcome inbreeding depression.4. Hybrids are subjected to inbreeding and new stable breeds are developed by crossbreeding.

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
ln a plant species that follows Mendelian inheritance yellow flower colour is dominant over white and round fruits shape is dominant over elongated. Crossing was performed between two purelines-one having yellow-flower and round fruit and another with white flower and elongated fruits. About 20 plants survived in $F_1$ progeny. Plants of $F_1$ were allowed to self fertilise and about 960 plants survived in $F_2$

  2. 10
  3. 5

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v) given below:
Turner's syndrome is an example of monosomy. It is formed by the union of an allosome free egg and a normal 'X' containing sperm or a normal egg and an allosome free sperm. 'The individual has 2n = 45 chromosomes (44 + X0) instead of 46. Such individuals are sterile females who have rudimentary ovaries, under developed breasts, small uterus, short stature, webbed neck and abnormal intelligence. 'They may not menstruate or ovulate. This disorder can be treated by giving female sex hormone to the women from the age of puberty to make them develop breasts and have menstruation. This makes them feel more normal.
  1. Number of barr body present in a female with Turner's syndrome is?
  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. < 2.
  1. Turner's syndrome is an example of?
  1. Aneuploidy.
  2. Euploidy.
  3. Polyploidy.
  4. Autosomal abnormality.
  1. Turner's syndrome is a/an.
  1. Autosomal recessive Mendelian disorder.
  2. Autosomal dominant Mendelian disorder
  3. Sex linked Mendelian disorder.
  4. Chromosomal disorder.
  1. Which of the following statements regarding Turner's syndrome is incorrect?
  1. It is a case of monosomy of chromosomes.
  2. The suffering individual is a sterile female, having one 'X' chromosome missing in the cells.
  3. The problem is due to an extra chromosome.
  4. The individual are of short stature.
  1. Assertion: Turner's syndrome is caused due to absence of any one of the X and Y sex chromosome.
Reason: Individuals suffering from Turner's syndrome show masculine as well as feminine development
  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. Both assertion and reason are false.

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?
