Consider the following statements: Assertion (A): In humans, female sex is determined by XX-chromosomes. Reason (R): Male sex is determined by YY-chromosomes. Codes: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true, but R is false. (d) A is false, but R is true.

Answer»

The correct option is:(c) A is true, but R is false.

Explanation:

Humans are diploid with 23 pairs of chromosomes. Of this, 22 pairs are somatic and the one pair is sex chromosomes. This particular pair exists as XX in human females and XY in males. 

The presence of two X chromosomes contributes to the female phenotype while presence of only one Y chromosome is responsible for the human to be male. Females produce only X-type haploid gametes and males produce two types (X and Y) of haploid gametes. Fusion of either X or Y of male gamete with the female gamete determines the sex of the offspring.

Suppose that m and n are integers such that both the quadratic equations x2 + mx - n = 0 and x2 - mx + n = 0 have integer roots. Prove that n is divisible by 6.

Answer»

Let a be an integer. If a is not divisible by 3 then a2 ≡ 1 (mod 3), i.e., 3 divides a2 - 1, and if a is odd then a2 ≡ 1 (mod 8), i.e., 8 divides a2 - 1. 

Note that the discriminants of the two quadratic polynomials are both squares of integers. Let a and b be integers such that m2 - 4n = a2 and m2 + 4n = b2. Therefore 8n = b2 - a2 and 2m2 = a2 + b2. If 3divides m then 3divides both a and b, so 3divides n. On the other hand if 3does not divide m then 3does not divide a or b. Therefore 3divides b2 - a2 and hence 3divides n. 

If m is odd, then so is a, and therefore 4n = m2 - a2 is divisible by 8, so n is even. On the other hand, if m is even then both a and b are even. Further (m=2)2 - n = (a=2)2 and (m=2)2 + n = (b=2)2, so (b - a) = 2 is even. In particular, n = (b2 - a2) = 4 is even.

What are pleiotropy, epistasis and complementary gene ?

Answer»

Pleiotropy occurs when one gene will code and control the phenotype or expression of several different and unrelated traits. Pleiotropy is most often a bad thing, as many diseases are due to a gene controlling so many traits at once. 

For example, phenylketonuria is a disease caused by pleiotropy.

Due to the phenomenon of dominance a recessive allele remains obscure in the hybrid. But when two different genes which are not alleles, both affect the same character in such a way that the expression of one masks, inhibits or suppresses the expression of the other gene, it is called epistasis. The gene that suppresses is said to be epistatic, and the gene which remains obscure is hypostatic.

Complementary genes are the genes which are present on different genetic loci but interact with each other to express a single character in combination. That is they both together produce a particular phenotypic trait in an individual. Supplementary genes are the genes which include two pairs of non-allelic genes.
