Observe the given diagram of a genetic cross and match the labels (P, Q, R, S) in List I with their correct genetic terms or values in List II. List I List II A Process P 1 Heterozygous B Genotype Q 2 1:1 C Genotype R 3 Homozygous recessive D Ratio S 4 Test cross Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
- BA-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
- CA-4, B-1, C-3, D-2
- DA-4, B-3, C-1, D-2
Correct answer
C. A-4, B-1, C-3, D-2
Step-by-step solution
In the given cross, a violet flower (dominant phenotype) is crossed with a white flower (recessive phenotype). Since the offspring are produced in a 50 % : 50 % ratio of violet to white flowers, this indicates a test cross. Thus, Process P is a test cross (A 4). For a test cross to yield a 1:1 ratio, the dominant parent must be heterozygous. Therefore, Genotype Q is heterozygous (B 1). The white flower parent expresses the recessive trait, so its genotype must be homozygous recessive. Thus, Genotype R is homozygous
