    D) A-II;     B-IV;   C-III;    D-I           

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Incomplete dominance (discovered by Correns) is the phenomenon where the dominant allele does not completely express itself. The inheritance of flower colour in Antirrhinum sp. is a good example of incomplete dominance. Haemophilia is a sex linked recessive disease. It is a type of Mendelian disorder since its inheritance follows the principles of Mendelian genetics and can be traced in a family by pedigree analysis. Transforming principle was given by Griffith. Dihybrid cross is a cross when two allelic pair are used for crossing. Several dihybrid crosses were carried out in Drosophila to study genes that were sex linked.
