प्रश्न
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.

उत्तर
- The dominant allele is R (for round seeds), while the recessive allele is r (for wrinkled seeds). This is obvious because only round seeds develop in F1, whereas the wrinkled characteristic is entirely concealed.
- 3:1 indicates that three of the four seeds are spherical and one is wrinkled. That is, 75% of the F2 progeny have round seeds (the dominant characteristic), but only 25% have wrinkled seeds (the recessive trait).
- Mendel's law of dominance states that if an organism has two distinct alleles for a trait, the dominant allele will be expressed, hiding the recessive allele. This means that only the dominant allele determines the organism's phenotype.

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?
A Monohybrid cross is ______
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.
