Solution

The correct option is A
True

If $F_{1}$ progeny of Mendel’s monohybrid cross are self-pollinated, the ratio of both dominant and recessive phenotypes in $F_{2}$ generation will be 3:1. This indicates that $75 %$ of the $F_{2}$ progeny will exhibit dominant phenotype while the other $25 %$ will exhibit recessive phenotype.
