In the F2F_2 generation, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in ____.

Options

  1. AMendelian monohybrid cross
  2. BPleiotropy
  3. CCo-dominance
  4. DMultiple alleles

Correct answer

C. Co-dominance

Step-by-step solution

In a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the phenotypic ratio in the F2F_2 generation is 3:13:1, whereas the genotypic ratio is 1:2:11:2:1.

In the case of co-dominance (and incomplete dominance), the heterozygous condition produces a distinct phenotype where both alleles are expressed equally. When two heterozygotes are crossed, the F2F_2 generation yields a genotypic ratio of 1:2:11:2:1 (homozygous dominant : heterozygous : homozygous recessive) and a phenotypic ratio of 1:2:11:2:1.

Thus, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in co-dominance.

Answer: Co-dominance
