In a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the `F_2` generation shows identical genotypic and phenotypic ratios. What does it tell us about the nature of alleles involved? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In a monohybrid cross, starting with parents which homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive `F_1` would be heterozygous for the trait and would express the dominant allele. But in case of incomplete dominance a monohybrid cross shows the result as follows.

= Phenotypic ratio `to ` Red : Pink : White :: 1:2:1
= Genotypic ratio `to` RR : Rr: rr ::1:2:1
= Alleles can show incomplete Dominance when genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same.
