The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Law of Dominance-Recessiveness**: The Law of Dominance states that in a heterozygote, one allele may conceal the presence of another allele. This means that the dominant trait will be expressed while the recessive trait will not be observed in the phenotype. 2. **Identifying the Methods to Prove the Law**: The law can be demonstrated through various genetic crosses, including: - Back Cross - Incomplete Dominance - Monohybrid Cross - Dihybrid Cross 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Back Cross**: This involves crossing the F1 progeny with one of the parental types. While it can show dominance, it is not a direct proof of the law itself. - **Incomplete Dominance**: This occurs when neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in a blending of traits. This does not support the law of dominance-recessiveness, as both alleles contribute to the phenotype. - **Monohybrid Cross**: This is a cross between two organisms that differ in one trait. For example, crossing a homozygous dominant (AA) with a homozygous recessive (aa) will yield offspring (F1) that are all heterozygous (Aa), demonstrating the dominance of the dominant allele. - **Dihybrid Cross**: This involves two traits and shows the law of independent assortment rather than dominance-recessiveness. 4. **Conclusion**: The Law of Dominance-Recessiveness is best proved by the Monohybrid Cross, where the dominance of one allele over another can be clearly observed. **Final Answer**: The Law of Dominance-Recessiveness is proved by the Monohybrid Cross. ---
