Q. Read the following statements.
(i) Morgan carried out several monohybrid crosses in $Drosophila$ to study genes that were sex-linked.
(ii) Morgan attributed that proportion of parental gene combination is less than the non-parental type due to the physical association.
(iii) Term recombination was coined by Morgan to de scribe the generation of non-parental gene combinations.
(iv) Alfred Strutevent used the frequency of linkage between gene pairs on the same chromosome and find genetic map.
Select how many are incorrect statement(s)

Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Solution:

• Morgan carried out several dihybrid crosses in Drosophila to study genes that were sex-linked
• Morgan attributed that proportion of parental gene combination is more than the non-parental type due to the physical association
• Alfred Sturtevant used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome and find genetic map.
