Options

  1. Acrossing of one F2F_2 progeny with female parent
  2. Bstudying the sexual behaviour of F1\mathrm{F}_1 progenies
  3. Ccrossing of one F1F_1 progeny with male parent
  4. Dcrossing of one F2\mathrm{F}_2 progeny with male parent.

Correct answer

C. crossing of one F1F_1 progeny with male parent

Step-by-step solution

A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is a test cross. Here, F1\mathrm{F}_1 hybrids are crossed with the recessive parent. Phenotypic ratios of 1:11: 1 confirm that the F1\mathrm{F}_1 hybrid is heterozygous.  Related Theory <imgsrc="/api/proxy−image?url=https\text{ Related Theory }<img src="/api/proxy-image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffirebasestorage.googleapis.com%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fquantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app%2Fo%2Fquestions%252Ffigs%252Fpyq%252Fneet%252FV7mYFdZPJJ6zAdGDIOJAZb31T3Xsd2aQIaK9v1EYyYw.original.fullsize.png%3Falt%3Dmedia&clean=1&v=wm2" data-qx-orig-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fneet%2FV7mYFdZPJJ6zAdGDIOJAZb31T3Xsd2aQIaK9v1EYyYw.original.fullsize.png?alt=media" data-qx-storage-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fneet%2FV7mYFdZPJJ6zAdGDIOJAZb31T3Xsd2aQIaK9v1EYyYw.original.fullsize.png?alt=media"> \\ Caution This is a misleading question. Students consider the question as wrong, as they miss the word recessive parent. However, they do not realise that test cross is cross between FJF_J, hybrid progeny with recessive parent, and FsF_s is only present in option (C)(\mathrm{C}).
