What is a monohybrid cross? How did Mendel perform this cross?

उत्तर
Monohybrid cross: It is a cross where two forms of a single trait are crossed or hybridized.
Mendel performed this experiment on the pea plant. He crossed the true-breeding forms of tall and dwarf plants and obtained the hybrid progeny. This is called as first generation (F1) offspring plant to self-pollinate and produced the second generation (F2).

Differentiate between the following:
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 pure tall plant (TT) is crossed with the pure dwarf plant (tt), what would be the F1 and F2 generations? Explain.
Give reasons why acquired characters are not inherited.
Genotypic ratio of 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.

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.
