In a given species of flowering plant, the colour of the seeds is exclusively determined by the colour of its seed coat. Seed coat colour in this species is governed by a nuclear gene with two alleles. The WHITE ( $W$ ) allele is dominant over brown ( $w$ ) allele. If a plant with brown seeds $(w w)$ is crossed as a female with pollen from a white seed $(W W)$ plant, what will be the seed colour and the genotype of the embryo in the resultant seeds obtained from this cross?

A single point mutation in gene ' $X$ ' results in breathing difficulty, hypertension as well as partial sterility. Which among the following best explains the observed phenotypes?

In a cross between individuals of the genotypes PpQQRrSS and ppqqRrSS, what will be the expected number of progenies with the genotype ppQQRrSS in a population of 400 individuals, assuming independent assortment?

Nine percent of a population cannot taste a certain food item because of a recessive allele of the gene IAT. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what will be the frequency of dominant and recessive alleles, respectively?
