In the generation, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in ____.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

In a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the phenotypic ratio in the generation is , whereas the genotypic ratio is .

In the case of co-dominance (and incomplete dominance), the heterozygous condition produces a distinct phenotype where both alleles are expressed equally. When two heterozygotes are crossed, the generation yields a genotypic ratio of (homozygous dominant : heterozygous : homozygous recessive) and a phenotypic ratio of .

Thus, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in co-dominance.

Answer: Co-dominance
