Zoology - Principles of Inheritance and Variation Question with Solution | TestHub
When red and white flowered Mirabilis plants are crossed all pink flowers are seen in generation. When progeny is selfed, the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios are
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Sometimes two genes of allelomorphic pair do not show dominant-recessive relationship, but when present together, they show intermediate trait or incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is not blending inheritance because parental characters reappear in generation. In Mirabilis jalapa, there are two types of pure breeding plants, red flowered and white flowered. On crossing them the plants or hybrids possess pink flowers. On selfing them, generation has plants in the ratio of 1 red : 2 pink: 1 white flowered plants with phenotypic ratio being same as genotypic ratio.
Genotypic ratio
Phenotypic ratio Red Pink White
Both genotypic ratio and phenotypic ratio are same, i.e., .
