What proportion of offsprings in theF2generation of a tetrahybrid cross will resemble the phenotype of parents that produce the F1 hybrid?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The total number of offsprings in the  F2generation is represented by 4n, where n = 1  for monohybrid, n = 2 for dihybrid, etc. Thus the total number of offsprings in the F2generation of tetrahybrid cross is 44 = 256. Out of these only two offsprings will resemble the parents genotypically. Thus their proportion is  2/256, which is 1/128.
