Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A 1:1 phenotypic ratio in a test cross indicates that
A
the alleles are dominant
B
one parent must have been homozygous dominant
C
the dominant parent was a heterozygote
D
the alleles segregated randomly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘dominant phenotype parent was heterozygous’

Detailed explanation-2: -This 1:1:1:1 phenotypic ratio is the classic Mendelian ratio for a test cross in which the alleles of the two genes assort independently into gametes (BbEe × bbee).

Detailed explanation-3: -What is a 1:1 phenotypic ratio? A 1:1 phenotypic ratio occurs when there are only two phenotype possibilities as outcomes when organisms are crossed and they both have a 50/50 chance of appearing.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the monohybrid cross, a testcross of a heterozygous individual resulted in a 1:1 ratio.

Detailed explanation-5: -On performing a test cross, 1:1 phenotypic ratio is obtained in the offspring; this indicates. No worries!
