MCQ
The monohybrid genotypic ratio is:
  • A
    1 : 1
  • B
    3 : 1
  • C
    1 : 2 : 1
  • D
    9 : 3 : 3 : 1

Answer

  1. 1 : 2 : 1

Explanation:

Monohybrid cross refers to inheritance of single contrasting trait by two parents at a time. For example, a cross of tall (T) and dwarf (t) pea plants is a monohybrid cross (TT x tt). A monohybrid cross between two pure breeding varieties obtains all dominant F1​ generation which in turn produces F2​ generation upon selfing and gives the monohybrid phenotypic ratio of 3 (dominant):1 (recessive). The monohybrid genotypic ratio is 1 homozygous tall: 2 heterozygous tall: 1 homozygous dwarf. The monohybrid F1​ produces two types of gametes and random fusion of these gametes produces total 4 combinations; 16 combinations are produced in a dihybrid ratio.
