In a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the `F_(2)`-generation shows identcal genotypic and phenotypic ratios. What does it tell us about the nature of alleles involved? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In case of incomplete dominace, a monohybrid cross shows the result as follows

Here, the phenotypic and genotypic both ratios are the same, So we can conclude that when genotypic and phenotypic ratios are the same, alleles show incompolete dominance. i.e., none ot the two alleles shows dominance thus producing hybrid intermediate from the expression of two homozygous alleles.
