MONOHYBRID CROSS
The inheritance of flower color in the dog flower (Snapdragon or Antirrhinum sp.) can be understood by crossbreeding between true-breeding red-flowered (RR) and true-breeding white-flowered plants (rr). When they were crossed, F₁ (Rr) was pink. When F₁ was self-pollinated, the F₂ results were Red, Pink and White. Here the genotype ratios were exactly as expected, but the phenotype ratios have been changed. What happened was that R was not completely dominant over r and this made it possible to distinguish Rr as pink from RR (Red) and rr (White).
What will be the genotypic ratio in F₂ generation when F₁ (Rr) was self-pollinated?

The arrangement of the nuclei in a normal embryo sac from the chalazal to micropylar end in dicots is -

Read the following paragraph and answer the given questions.
Repeated amplification is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus), which remain active during the high temperature induced denaturation of double stranded DNA. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. The convention for naming these enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated, e.g., EcoRI comes from Escherichia coli RY 13. In EcoRI, the letter 'R' is derived from the name of strain. Roman numbers following the names indicate the order in which the enzymes were isolated from that strain of bacteria. Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer accomplished this in 1972 by isolating the antibiotic resistance gene by cutting out a piece of DNA from a plasmid which was responsible for conferring antibiotic resistance. Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA, RNA, protein, polysaccharides etc. The RNA can be removed by treatment with ribonuclease whereas proteins can be removed by treatment with protease. Other molecules can be removed by appropriate treatments and purified DNA ultimately precipitates out after the addition of chilled ethanol.

Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer constructed the first recombinant DNA by isolating the antibiotic resistance gene by cutting out a piece of DNA from a plasmid of ____________ resistance. which was responsible for conferring antibiotic

Given that the value of a determinant of order three is zero; which one of the following is not correct?

A DNA fragment contains 18% Thymine (T). The combined content of Cytosine (C) and Guanine in it would be:

Identify the hormone, which is NOT produced during pregnancy in women.

There exists a horizontal magnetic field in space of value \( B = 9 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \). A magnetic bar of magnetic moment \( M = 9 \times 10^3 \text{ J/T} \) is placed at an angle \( \theta_i = 60^\circ \) to the field and is free to rotate. Finally, it comes to a position parallel to the field. Work done by magnetic field on the magnetic bar will be
