Question
Explain the law of dominance in a monohybrid cross.
Advertisements
Solution
Law of dominance states that the offsprings of an individual with contrasting (dissimilar) traits will only express the dominant trait in the F1 generation and both the characters are expressed in the F2 generation. This law also explains the proportion of the 3: 1 ratio in the F2 generation.

ii. In the pea plant, contrasting characters can be easily recognized.
iii. Mendel carefully recorded the number of plants of each type and expressed his results as ratios.

A dihybrid condition is ______.
Assertion: When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations is much higher than the nonparental type.
Reason: Higher parental gene combinations can be attributed to crossing over between two genes.
Given below is a dihybrid cross performed on Drosophila.
Which of the following conclusions can be drawn on the basis of this cross? When yellow bodied (y), white-eyed (w) Drosophila females were hybridized with brown bodied (y+), red-eyed males (w+) and F1 progenies were intercrossed, F2 generation would have shown the following ratio:
Two pea plants - one with round yellow seeds (RRYY) and another with wrinkled green (rryy) seeds produce F1 progeny that have round, yellow (RrYy) seeds.
When F1 plants are self-pollinated, which new combination of characters is expected in F2 progeny? How many seeds with these new combinations of characters will be produced when a total 160 seeds are produced in F2 generation? Explain with reason.
In the Mendelian dihybrid cross when heterozygous round yellow is self grossed, round green offsprings are represented by the genotype.
