When two unrelated individuals or lines are crossed, the perfomance of "F"_(1) hybrid is often superior to both its parents. This phenomenon is called:

Cross between recessive parent and F_(1) hybrid is called :

Cross between homozygous black rough (BBRR) guinea pig and homozygous white smooth guinea pig (bbrr) produced black and rough animals in F_(1) generation. Presuming the genes to be present on different chromosomes, the percentage of F_(2) individuals which are heterozygous for both the gene pairs would be

Which Mendelian idea is depicted by a cross in which the F_1 generation re- sembles both the parents

Find the true statements (i) F_(1) progeny is first hybrid generation and progeny resembles either of parents (ii) F_(2) progeny is a resultant hybrid generation of cross pollination among F_(1) progeny and the progeny shows both dwarf and tall plants (iii) F_(2) progeny is second hybrid generation produced by selfing F_(1) hybrids and progeny contains both dwarf and tall plants (iv) Proportion of probability of plants that are dwarf is 1/4 of F_(2) plants while 3/4 of F_(2) plants are tall

Pure tall plant is crossed to dwarf plant. F_(1) generation consists of only tall plants while F_(2) generation has both tall and dwarf in ratio of 3:1. The phenomenon is due to

A monohybid cross between two plants, one having 22cm long internodes and the other having 12 cm long internodes, produced F_(1) hybrids all off 18 cm long internodes. This is a case of

A snapdragon plant homezygous for red flower when crossed with a white flowered plant of the same species produced pink flowers in F_(1) generation. (a) What is the phenotypic expression called ? (b) Work out the cross to show the F_(2) generation when F_(1) was self-pollinated. Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of f_(2) generation. (c) How do you compare the f_(2) phenotypic and genotypic ratios with those of Mendelian monohybrid f_(2) ?
