Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the expected genotypic ratio resulting from a heterozygous x heterozygous monohybrid cross?
A
1:2:1
B
1:3:1
C
1:2
D
1:0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The expected genotype ratio when two heterozygotes are crossed is 1 (homozygous dominant) : 2 (heterozygous) : 1 (homozygous recessive).

Detailed explanation-2: -Out of the four types of individuals of the F2 progeny-one is homozygous dominant (TT), two are heterozygous dominant (Tt) and one is homozygous recessive (tt). Thus the F2 genotypic ratio of Mendel’s monohybrid cross is 1:2:1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The genotypic and phenotypic ratio of the monohybrid test cross is 1:1.
