Genetics
BIOSTATISTICS AND POPULATION GENETICS
Day Date: Saturday, 18-11-2017 Max. Marks: 70
Time: 10.30 AM to 1.00 PM
Instructions: All questions of Section-I are compulsory.
Answer any four questions from Section-II.
All questions carry equal marks.
Use of non-data storage calculator is allowed.
Section-I
Q.1 Rewrite the following sentences by using correct alternatives: 07
A subset of the population selected to help make inferences on a
population is
A population Inferential statistics
A census A sample
An instructor recorded the following quiz scores (out of a possible 10
points) for the 12 students present: 10, 5. The
mode for this set of scores is
9.5 7
6 3
A process by which we estimate the value of dependent variable on
the basis of one or more independent variables is called:
Correlation Regression
Residual Slope
Any hypothesis which is tested for the purpose of rejection under the
assumption that it is true is called:
Null hypothesis Alternative hypothesis
Statistical hypothesis Composite hypothesis
can cause deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg
equilibrium.
Small population Random mating
No selection No mutation
Location of quantitative genes on chromosomes is called
Qualitative trait loci Genome mapping
Quantitative trait loci Chromosome map
the new species evolve from continuous populations, rather
than completely separate ones.
Parapatric speciation Peripatric speciation
Sympatric speciation Quantum speciation
