प्रश्न
What is a monohybrid cross? How did Mendel perform this cross?
उत्तर
Monohybrid cross: It is a cross where two forms of a single trait are crossed or hybridized.
Mendel performed this experiment on the pea plant. He crossed the true-breeding forms of tall and dwarf plants and obtained the hybrid progeny. This is called as first generation (F1) offspring plant to self-pollinate and produced the second generation (F2).

Answer the following question.
Write the basis on which Alfred Sturtevant explained gene mapping.
Pure-bred tall pea plants are first crossed with pure-bred dwarf pea plants. The pea plants obtained in the F1 generation are then selfed to produce F2 generation of pea plants.
Which type of plants was missing in the F1 generation but reappeared in the F2 generation?
Differentiate between inherited and acquired characters. Give one example for each type.
In a plant tallness is dominant over dwarfness and red flower is dominant over white. Starting with the parents work out a dihybrid cross. What is standard dihybrid ratio? Do you think the values would deviate if the two genes in question are interacting with each other?
In a cross between red coloured and white coloured flowers, when plants with red coloured flowers of F1 generation were self pollinated, plants of F2 generation were obtained in which 75% of plants were with red flowers and 2.5% plants were with white flowers.
Explain the inheritance of traits in the above cross with the help of a flow chart only along with the ratio of plants obtained.
