Albinism in humans is controlled by a recessive allele. How many copies of this allele will be found at one of the poles of a cell at telophase-I of meiosis in an albino person? (a) 23 (b) 4 (c) 2 (d) 1

Answer»

Correct option is (c) 2

Since the allele is recessive, both homologous chromosomes in a somatic cell of an albino person would have the allele. After meiosis-I, each end would have a homologous chromosome with the allele. As the chromosome is existing as a each chromosome and hence each end would have two copies of the allele.
