Question

Recessive character appears in $25\%$ of the ${\text{F}}_2$ progeny in Mendel’s monohybrid cross.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

If ${\text{F}}_1$ progeny of Mendel’s monohybrid cross are self-pollinated, the ratio of both dominant and recessive phenotypes in ${\text{F}}_2$ generation will be 3:1. This indicates that $75\%$ of the ${\text{F}}_2$ progeny will exhibit dominant phenotype while the other $25\%$ will exhibit recessive phenotype.
