Sickle-cell anaemia is caused by mutation of the gene controlling β-chain of haemoglobin. Due to this mutation, glutamic acid present at 6th position of the β-chain is replaced by amino acid valine.

What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?
Genes $R$ and $Y$ follow independent assortment. If RRYY produce round yellow seeds and rryy produce wrinkled green seeds, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?
With the help of given pedigree, find out the probability for the birth of a child having no disease and being a carrier (has the disease mutation in one allele of the gene) in $F_3$ generation.

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Failure of segregation of chromatids during cell cycle resulting in the gain or loss of whole set of chromosome in an organism is known as aneuploidy. Statement II: Failure of cytokinesis after anaphase stage of cell division results in the gain or loss of a chromosome is called polyploidy. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
