Correct answer: 4- A. Ester bond
- B. Ether linkage
- C. Hydrogen bond
- D. Ionic bond
Explanation: When glycerol (a type of alcohol) reacts with fatty acids (which contain carboxyl groups), an ester bond is formed through a dehydration…
Correct answer: Ester bond- A. Glycerol

Explanation: a) Subclavian VeinThe subclavian veins are major veins located in the upper chest region, near the collarbone.
Correct answer: Subclavian Vein- A. Superior vena cava
- B. Subclavian Vein
- C. Inferior vena cava
- D. Renal vein
Explanation: Lymph capillaries join to form larger and larger lymph vessels; and ultimately form the thoracic lymph duct, which opens into the…
Correct answer: Subclavian Vein- A. Lymph Nodes
- B. Lymphoid organs
- C. Lymph capillaries
- D. Subclavian vein
Explanation: Lymph eventually returns to the bloodstream by entering the subclavian vein, where it mixes with the blood and is recirculated through the…
Correct answer: Subclavian vein- A. Evolution
- B. Paleontology
- C. Zoogeography
- D. Biodiversity
Explanation: Palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life on Earth using geological methods such as studying preserved remains of an organism in a…
Correct answer: Paleontology- A. Phenotype.
- B. Junction.
- C. Locus.
- D. Genotype.
Explanation: A locus is the specific physical location of a gene or other DNA sequence on a chromosome, like a genetic street address.
Correct answer: Locus.- A. Six
- B. Four
- C. Five
- D. Five or three
Explanation: Three different gene pairs at three different loci contribute to the wheat grain color.
Correct answer: Six- A. It is autosomal recessive disease in males
- B. It is X-linked disease
- C. It is autosomal dominant disease in males
- D. It is Y-linked disease
Explanation: Explanation:It is a autosomal dominant disease in males, but it is sex influenced character as a result a female heterozygous for this…
Correct answer: It is autosomal dominant disease in males- A. Alleles of a gene
- B. Two different genes at the same locus
- C. Two contrasting traits
- D. Two different genes at different loci
Explanation: [A] Epistasis not linked to alleles of genes[B] Two different genes are at the different loci[C] Two contrasting traits are two different…
Correct answer: Two different genes at different loci- A. Pleiotropic
- B. Epistatic
- C. Dominant
- D. Mutant
Explanation: Pleiotropy is defined as the expression of multiple traits by a single gene.
Correct answer: Pleiotropic- A. Locus
- B. Origin
- C. Amplicon
- D. Filial
Explanation: The position of genes on a chromosome is known as locus.
Correct answer: Locus- A. Codominance
- B. Dominance-recessive relationship
- C. Incomplete dominance
- D. Over dominance relationship
Explanation: The round phenotype is due to the presence of the dominant allele which expresses itself regardless of the presence of the recessive…
Correct answer: Dominance-recessive relationship- A. Chromosomal aberration
- B. Aneuploidy
- C. Point mutation
- D. Euploidy
Explanation: All these mutations revolve around a single nucleotide being replaced, inserted or deleted hence the term 'point'.
Correct answer: Point mutation- A. Dominance
- B. Incomplete dominance
- C. Codominance
- D. Over-dominance
Explanation: Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the…
Correct answer: Incomplete dominance- A. Dominance
- B. Codominance
- C. Pleiotropy
- D. Epistasis
Explanation: Epistasis is an example of nonallelic interactions. It is defined as the phenomenon in which the effect caused by genes on one locus…

- C. 9/16 Tall-round ; 3/17 Dwarf-round
- D. 3/16 Tall-wrinkled ; 3/16 Dwarf-round
Explanation: As we talk about the F1 generation, we can assume them to be heterozygous for both characteristics.
Correct answer: 3/16 Tall-wrinkled ; 3/16 Dwarf-round- A. ¼ purple ; ¾ white
