According to common Mendelian pattern of inheritance F_1 resembles the dominant parent. But in contrast there are certain other patterns of inheritance In which F_1 , does not resembles either of the parents. Name the pattern of inheritance in which F_1 ,shows a character in between the two parents.

The experimental proof for the theory of inheritance was provided by the studies on

    Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement(s). a. Genetics deals with the inheritance, as well as variation of characters from parents to offspring. b. Variation is the process by which characters are passed on from parent to progeny. c. Inheritance is the basis of heredity. d. Inheritance is the degree by which progeny differ from their parents. e.

    Assertion: During Mendel's investigations into inheritance patterns it was for the first time that statistical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology. Reason: Mendel investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits. e.g., tali or dwarf plants.
