MONOHYBRID CROSS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a cross of Aa x Aa, what is the expected genotype ratio in the offspring?
A
3:1
B
1:2:1
C
1:1
D
4:0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: The cross between these parents would be Aa x aa. This can lead to two possible genotypes which are also Aa and aa.

Detailed explanation-3: -1:1:1:1 is the phenotypic ratio which is classic Mendelian ratio for a test cross in which the alleles of the two genes assort independently into gametes (BbEe X bbee). It is a test done to investigate the genotype of parents.
