उत्तर
| Sr. No. | Homozygous | Heterozygous |
| 1. | It is pure for a trait and breeds true, producing homozygous individuals with similar characteristics. | A heterozygous individual is usually pure and generates offspring with diverse genotypes on selfing, such as TT, Tt, and tt on selfing of Tt individuals. |
| 2. | Both alleles of a trait, such as TT and tt, are similar. | It carries different alleles, such as Tt. |
| 3. | Homozygous individuals can carry either dominant or recessive alleles, but not both. | A heterozygous individual carries both dominant and recessive alleles. |
| 4. | It produces one type of gamete. | It creates two types of gametes. |
| 5. | It does not display excessive vigour. | Individuals can exhibit hybrid vigour, often known as heterosis. |

Monohybrid and Dihybrid
When a cross is made between tall plant with yellow seeds (TtYy) and tall plant with green seed (Ttyy), what proportions of phenotype in the offspring could be expected to be:
- Tall and green.
- Dwarf and green.
A child has blood group O. If the father has blood group A and the mother has blood group B, work out the genotypes of the parents and the possible genotypes of the other offspring.
Given below are the F2 – phenotypic ratios of two independently carried monohybrid crosses :
(i) 1 : 2 : 1
(ii) 3 : 1
Mention what does each ratio suggest.
Mention whether the cross is a monohybrid or dihybrid.
What is a monohybrid cross? How did Mendel perform this cross?
A certain couple got four daughters in a sequence and no son. Does it mean that the husband does not produce Y-chromosome bearing sperms? Explain. What is the chance of this couple having a daughter?
Differentiate Between Monohybrid and Dihybrid cross.
What do you understand by the terms phenotype and genotype?
Pure-bred tall pea plants are first crossed with pure-bred dwarf pea plants. The pea plants obtained in the F1 generation are then selfed to produce F2 generation of pea plants.
What is the ratio of tall plants to dwarf plants in the F2 generation?
Pure-bred tall pea plants are first crossed with pure-bred dwarf pea plants. The pea plants obtained in the F1 generation are then selfed to produce F2 generation of pea plants.
Which type of plants was missing in the F1 generation but reappeared in the F2 generation?
Differentiate between inherited and acquired characters. Give one example for each type.
When a tall plant with rounded seeds (TTRR) is grossed with a Dwarf plant with wrinkled seeds (ttrr) the F1 generation consists of tall plants with rounded seeds. How many types of gametes the F1 plant would produce?
A Monohybrid cross is ______
Punnett square is used to know
Cross between hybrid and recessive parent:
In a monohybrid cross of plants with red and white flowered plants, Mendel got only red-flowered plants. On self-pollinating these F1 plants got both red and white flowered plants in 3:1 ratio. Explain the basis of using RR and rr symbols to represent the genotype of plants of parental generation.
In a plant tallness is dominant over dwarfness and red flower is dominant over white. Starting with the parents work out a dihybrid cross. What is standard dihybrid ratio? Do you think the values would deviate if the two genes in question are interacting with each other?
Pooja has green eyes while her parents and brother have black eyes. Pooja’s husband Ravi has black eyes while his mother has green eyes and father has black eyes.
a. On the basis of the above given information, is the green eye colour a dominant or recessive trait? Justify your answer
b. What is the possible genetic makeup of Pooja’s brother’s eye colour?
c. What is the probability that the offspring of Pooja and Ravi will have green eyes? Also, show the inheritance of eye colour in the offspring with the help of a suitable cross.
OR
c. 50% of the offspring of Pooja’s brother are green eyed. With help of cross show how this is possible.
In a cross between red coloured and white coloured flowers, when plants with red coloured flowers of F1 generation were self pollinated, plants of F2 generation were obtained in which 75% of plants were with red flowers and 2.5% plants were with white flowers.
Explain the inheritance of traits in the above cross with the help of a flow chart only along with the ratio of plants obtained.
Assertion (A): In humans, if gene (B) is responsible for black eyes and gene (b) responsible for brown eyes, then the colour of eyes of the progeny having gene combination Bb, bb or BB will be black only.
Reason (R): The black colour of the eyes is a dominant trait.
Given below is a schematic representation of the inheritance of the shape of the seeds of garden peas. Answer the questions that follow:

- Which is the dominant and recessive allele of the trait?
- What does the ratio 3 : 1 in the F2 generation represent?
- State Mendel's Law of Dominance.
