Select the correct pairs from the given options
A. Dihybrid cross – Independent assortment of characters
B. Back cross – F1 hybrid crossed only to homozygous recessive parent
C. Monohybrid cross – Dominance-recessiveness
D. Test cross – Identifying the genotype of hybrid progenyIn a dihybrid cross, alleles of two characters will be transferred while forming gametes after meiosis. Mendel proposed the law of independent assortment by analysing the results of the dihybrid cross. According to law of independent assortment genes or alleles separate from each other independently.
Monohybrid cross follows the inheritence of a single character, and Mendel proposed the law of dominance based on this cross. It states that each charcater is controlled by a pair of alleles, one which expresses its character in presence of another is called as dominant and the allele which is not able to express is called as recessive.
In backcross offspring are crossed with either of their parents, whereas in test cross progenies will be crossed only with recessive parent.
