Question

What will you conclude, when a cow is crossed to a bull and the female progeny is yielding more milk than its mother?

• A. More number of genes for high yielding milk are inherited only from the female parent
• B. More number of genes for high yielding milk are inherited only from the male parent
• C. More number of genes for high yielding milk are inherited from both the parents
• D. The progeny through mutation achieved more number of genes for high yielding milk

Answer 1

The correct option is C More number of genes for high yielding milk are inherited from both the parents

Animal breeding aims at increasing the yield of animals and improving the desirable qualities of the produce. In this case, more number of genes for high yielding milk are inherited from both the parents through breeding.
