Solution

The correct option is C Karyotaxonomy
Karyotaxonomy is a branch of taxonomy which deals with the study of the structure of nucleus in various groups of organisms. This classification system helps to determine the extent of the phylogenetic relationship between organisms. The number, type of chromosomes and their arrangements are studied for the purpose of classification.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Q. A scientist performed the gene mapping experiments in maize. He mapped the genes on chromosomes on the basis of % crossing over between different genes. One map unit corresponds to one % crossing over or recombination. The genes showing more than 50% recombination were not supposed to be linked on same chromosome. In crossing over studies on maize, scientist observed the following % crossing over between genes A, B, C, D: between A and D 10%, between A and C 3%, between genes C and D 7%, between genes A and B 5%, and between genes C and B 8%. On the basis of above observation, find out the correct sequence of genes A, B, C and D on chromosomes.
