- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Concepts Used:
Non-Mendelian Genetics
The term - non-mendelian inheritance refers to any pattern of heredity in which features do not separate according to Mendel's laws. These principles describe how features linked with single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus are passed down through generations.
Types of Non-Mendelian Inheritance
Codominance Inheritance
It is a form of incomplete dominance in which both alleles for the same feature are expressed in the heterozygote at the same time. For example, the MN blood types of humans.
Incomplete Dominance
In a heterozygote, the dominant allele does not always completely cover the phenotypic expression of the recessive gene, resulting in an intermediate phenotype which is referred to as "incomplete dominance”.
