Read the following statements and choose incorrect statement : (According to Mendel experiment)

A

Mendel crossed tall and dwarf pea plant to study the inheritance of one gene known as Monohybrid cross.

B

In monohybrid cross, `F_(1)` progeny plants were similar to one of its parents

C

In `F_(2)` generation of monohybrid cross, only one of the parental trait was expressed

D

In `F_(2)` generation of monohybrid cross both the traits were expressed in the proportion 3:1.

The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement according to Mendel's experiments, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Read the First Statement**: - "Mendel cross tall and dwarf pea plant to study the inheritance of one gene known as monohybrid cross." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Mendel's monohybrid cross involved crossing a tall pea plant (dominant trait) with a dwarf pea plant (recessive trait) to study the inheritance of one trait. 2. **Read the Second Statement**: - "In monohybrid cross F1 progeny plants were similar to one of its parents." - **Analysis**: This statement is also true. In the F1 generation, all offspring were tall (the dominant trait), resembling the tall parent. 3. **Read the Third Statement**: - "In F2 generation of monohybrid cross, only one of the parental trait was expressed." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. In the F2 generation, both traits (tall and dwarf) are expressed. The F2 generation results from self-crossing the F1 generation, leading to a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall plants to 1 dwarf plant. 4. **Read the Fourth Statement**: - "In F2 generation of monohybrid cross both the traits were expressed in the proportion of 3:1." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. The F2 generation exhibits a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall plants to 1 dwarf plant. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is the third one: "In F2 generation of monohybrid cross, only one of the parental trait was expressed." ### Final Answer: - The incorrect statement according to Mendel's experiment is: **"In F2 generation of monohybrid cross, only one of the parental trait was expressed."** ---
