Consider the following statements regarding the theory of linkage and choose the correct answer:
1. Genes are arranged in a linear fashion in the chromosomes
2. Genes that show linkage are situated in the chromosome
3. Linked genes remain in their original combination during the course of inheritance
4. The genes which are widely separated show strong linkage, while those closely located, have more chances to get separated by crossing over

Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. In the phenomenon of linkage and crossing over, the genes are arranged in a linear order in a chromosome
2. The linkage groups in an organism are equivalent to the number of chromosome pairs
3. The chances of crossing over are more between two closely placed genes as compared to the genes placed in far proximity
4. The position of genes is very definite in the chromatid
A caveat of phylogenetic footprinting is to extract noncoding sequences Upstream of corresponding genes and focus the comparison to this region only, which helps to prevent false positives.
A functional variable region gene of a light chain contains two coding gene segments that are separated by a non-coding DNA sequence in germ-line DNA.
The use of Markov models in gene finding exploits the fact that oligonucleotide distributions in the coding regions are different from those for the noncoding regions.
Heavy chain of an immunoglobulin also has three gene segments.
Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. The structural genes direct the synthesis of cellular proteins through messenger RNA (mRNA)
2. The promoter gene determines whether or not the structural genes are to be repressed by the repressor
3. The regulator gene directs the synthesis of a protein which may be an active repressor or an inactive repressor
Which of the following are commonly used as reporter genes?

Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Assertion: An antigen recognized by one immunoglobulin subtype is not recognized by any other subtype.
Reason: Immunoglobulin subtypes differ from each other both in the variable and in the constant regions.
