Genetics-i Miscellaneous

  1. Match the terms in Group I with the ploidy in Group II.
    Group I Group II
    P. Disome 1. 2n + 1
    Q. Monosome 2. 2n –1
    R. Nullisome 3. n –1
    S. Trisome 4. n + 1 ​​

    1. P- 4​, Q-2​ , R- 3​ , S-1
    2. P- 4​, Q-3​ , R- 1​ , S-​2 ​​
    3. P- 2​, Q-3​ , R- 4​ , S-1
    4. P- 1​, Q-4​ , R- 3​ , S-​2 ​
Correct Option: A

Disome is a chromosome set having members paired (as in a normal somatic cell, n+1). 
Monosome is a chromosome having no homologue, especially an unpaired X chromosome (2n–1, because only one copy of some specific chromosome is present instead of the usual two found in its diploid progenitor. especially an unpaired X chromosome). Nullisome is a genetic condition involving the lack of one of the normal chromosomal pairs for a species (2n–2). A trisomy is a type of polysomy in which there are three instances of a particular chromosome, instead of the normal two (2n+1). ​
