MONOHYBRID CROSS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
. In a monohybrid cross between two organisms heterozygous for a particular trait (Ff), what would be the predicted ratio of the offspring’s genotypes?
A
1FF:3 Ff:1 ff
B
1 FF:2Ff:1 ff
C
2 FF:2 Ff
D
3Ff:1 ff
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A monohybrid cross results in a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 (dominant to recessive), and a genotypic ratio of 1:2:1 (homozygous dominant to heterozygous to homozygous recessive).

Detailed explanation-2: -In the monohybrid cross, a testcross of a heterozygous individual resulted in a 1:1 ratio. With the dihybrid cross, you should expect a 1:1:1:1 ratio!

Detailed explanation-3: -A cross of two F1 hybrids, heterozygous for a single trait that displays incomplete dominance is predicted to give a 1:2:1 ratio among both the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -SEE A PATTERN FOR HETEROZYGOUS MONOHYBRID CROSSES: If you cross 2 parent plants that are BOTH HETEROZYGOUS for a trait the offspring will show a 3:1 phenotypic ratio. 75 25 % of the offspring will show the DOMINANT trait and % of the offspring will show the RECESSIVE trait.
