Question
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.
Solution
A plant with pure red flowers will generate plants with red blooms when crossed with a plant with pure white flowers. It is called Mendel's Monohybrid cross.
- Phenotypic ratio: Red : White : 3 : 1
- Genotypic ratio: Pure Red : Hybrid Red : Pure White : 1 : 2 : 1

A Monohybrid cross is ______
Cross between hybrid and recessive parent:
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?
Assertion (A): In humans, if gene (B) is responsible for black eyes and gene (b) responsible for brown eyes, then the colour of eyes of the progeny having gene combination Bb, bb or BB will be black only.
Reason (R): The black colour of the eyes is a dominant trait.
