5.PRINCIPLES OF INHERITANCE AND VARIATION (1.)In a given plant, red colour ( R ) of fruit is domi- nant over white fruit ( r); and tallness ( T ) is dominant over dwarfness ( t ).

(a.) 100% (b.) 25% (c.) 50% (d.) 75% (2.)In the ABO system of blood groups, if both anti- gens are present but no antibody, the blood group of the individual would be (a.) B (b.) O (c.) AB (d.)
