    Ratio of progency when a red coloured heterozygote is crossed with a white coloured plant in which red colour is dominant to white colour:

    A)  3 : 1         

    B)  1 : 1

    C)  1 : 2 : 1       

    D)  9 : 3 : 3 : 1

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The cross of heterozygous dominant with its recessive parent is called test cross. The test cross gives 1 : 1 ratio in monohybrid condition whereas 1 : 1 : 1: 1 in dihybrid condition. In a monohybrid cross when a homozygous dominant plant is crossed with homozygous recessive plant the \[{{F}_{1}}\] plants are all. heterozygous dominant. On selfing of the P, plants in \[{{F}_{1}}\] generation show 3 : 1 phenotypic ratio whereas 1 : 2 : 1 genotypic ratio. In a dihybrid cross when a homozygous dominant plant (for two traits) is crossed with homozygous recessive plant (for two traits), the \[{{F}_{1}}\] plants are heterozygous and dominant whereas, show 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 phenotypic ratio in \[{{F}_{1}}\] generation.
