Question

A reciprocal cross would be

• A. between a homozygous recessive individual and a homozygous dominant one with respect to one pair of traits
• B. between a homozygous recessive individual and a homozygous dominant one with respect to two pairs of traits
• C. between a homozygous recessive male and a homozygous dominant female, and a separate cross between a homozygous dominant male and a homozygous recessive female
• D. self-fertilization of an $F_1$ plant

Answer 1

The correct option is C between a homozygous recessive male and a homozygous dominant female, and a separate cross between a homozygous dominant male and a homozygous recessive female

In genetics, a reciprocal cross is a breeding experiment designed to test the role of parental sex on given inheritance pattern, a pair of crosses between a male of one strain & female of another, & vice versa.

So, the correct option is 'between a homozygous recessive male and a homozygous dominant female, and a separate cross between a homozygous dominant male and a homozygous recessive female'.
