    Remark:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Mendel’s law of Independent assortment does not hold good for the genes that are located closely on the same chromosome.
Reason (R): Closely located genes assort independently.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

[class-xii ]

  • Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  • (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
  • (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
  • Correct Option: C  [ (A) is correct but (R) is not correct ]

    Remark:

If a geneticist uses the blind approach for sequencing the whole genome of an organism, followed by assignment of function to different segments, the methodology adopted by him is called as:

[class-xii ]

  • Sequence annotation
  • Gene mapping
  • Expressed sequence tags
  • Bioinformatics
  • Correct Option: A  [ Sequence annotation ]
