प्रश्न
A man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is this information enough to tell you which of the traits-blood group A or O - is dominant? Why or why not?
उत्तर
No. There are two possibilities:
Case I: If the father's blood group is A, and is the dominant trait, his genotypes will be IAIA and IAIO ; and the mother's blood group O being a recessive trait, her genotype will be IOIO. So, the daughter can receive one recessive allele IO from the father and another from the mother to have genotype IOIO and the blood groupO.
Case II: If the father's blood group A is a recessive trait, his genotype will be IAIA ; the mother's blood group O being a dominant trait, her genotype will be IOIO and IOIA. So, the daughter can receive one dominant allele IO from the mother and one recessive allele IA from the father to have genotype IOIA and blood group O.

Mendel crossed tall pea plants with dwarf pea plants in his experiment. Write his observations giving reason on the F1 and F2 generations.
A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as:
The following results were obtained by a scientist who crossed the F1 generation of pure-breeding parents for round and wrinkled seeds.
| Dominant trait | Recessive trait | No. of F2 offspring |
| Round seeds | Wrinkled seeds | 7524 |
From these results, it can be concluded that the actual number of round seeds he obtained was ______
If the ratio of each phenotype of the seeds of pea plants in the F2 generation is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1, it is known as :

(b) monohybrid ratio
(c) dihybrid ratio
(d) trihybrid ratio
Pure-bred pea plants A are crossed with pure-bred pea plants B. It is found that the plants which look like A do not appear in F1 generation but re-emerge in F2 generation. Which of the plants A and B are : (i) tall, and (ii) dwarf? Give reason for your answer.
