F2 generation in a Mendelian cross showed that both genotypic and phenotypic ratios are same as 1: 2: 1. It represents a case of:
-
- Co-dominance
- Dihybrid cross
- Monohybrid cross with complete dominance
- Monohybrid cross with incomplete dominance
Correct Option: D
Incomplete (partial or mosaic) dominance is the phenomenon where none of the two contrasting alleles or factors is dominant. The expression of the character in a hybrid or F1 individual is intermediate or a fine mixture of the expression of the two factors (as found in homozygous state). Incomplete or mosaic inheritance is not an example of premendelian concept of blending inheritance because the parental types reappear in the F2 generation. It is however, considered by some workers to be an example of quantitative inheritance where only a single gene pair is involved. F2 phenotypic ratio is 1: 2: 1, similar to genotypic ratio.
