Which organelle is the site of photosynthesis? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis) is caused by the protozoan Leishmania donovani, transmitted by sandfly bite. Tetanus is bacterial (Clostridium tetani), tuberculosis bacterial (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), measles viral. Protozoan diseases include malaria, amoebiasis, sleeping sickness, giardiasis. Kala-azar causes fever, weight loss, splenomegaly, and is endemic in parts of India.

Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance is when multiple genes (polygenes) contribute to a single trait, resulting in continuous variation. Human skin color is controlled by at least three genes, showing a spectrum of phenotypes. Pleiotropy is one gene affecting multiple traits. Multiple alleles refer to more than two alleles for a gene (e.g., ABO blood groups). Co-dominance is when both alleles express equally.

Explanation:
Codominance occurs when two different alleles of a gene are fully and equally expressed in the heterozygous condition. In the ABO blood group, the IA and IB alleles are codominant. An individual with the genotype IAIB produces both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, resulting in the AB blood type. While the ABO system also involves multiple alleles (IA, IB, i), the specific expression of both antigens is codominance.
