Question:medium

Match List-I with List-II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

Co-dominance: Both alleles show; Pleiotropy: One gene, many traits; Epistasis: Gene masking; Multiple allelism: Many alleles for one gene.
  • (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Co-dominance shows both traits together, matching item (II), flower colour in snapdragon.
Step 2: Pleiotropy is one gene with many effects, matching item (IV), sickle cell anaemia.
Step 3: Epistasis is one gene masking another, matching item (I), sweet pea flower colour; multiple allelism needs more than two alleles, matching item (III), rabbit coat colour.
\[ \boxed{\text{(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III), Option (2)}} \]
