1. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous
2. Homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive
3. Both homozygous dominant
4. Both heterozygous
Homozygous dominant and heterozygous
1. Breeding together brothers and sisters of the F1 generation
2. Back crossing one or more of the F1 individuals
3. Test crossing one or more of the F1 individuals
4. Producing large progeny
Test crossing one or more of the F1 individuals
1. A characteristic is inherited ‘in combination’ with others
2. The presence of one characteristic(e.g.,colour)modifies the inheritance of the others(e.g.,shape)
3. A characteristic (say shape) is inherited independent of the influence of others(e.g., colour)
4. Rare combinations of characteristics of characters are always due to mutations,which are inherited by the progeny
A characteristic (say shape) is inherited independent of the influence of others(e.g., colour)
1. Dominant and recessive traits are transmitted independently from one generation to the next so that neither trait has any influence on the inheritance of the other
2. Inheritance of one gene is not influenced by the inheritance of another and genes assort independently in successive generations
3. One allele of a gene is dominant over the other
4. One gene masks the effect of the other and is not transmitted independently from one generation to another
Dominant and recessive traits are transmitted independently from one generation to the next so that neither trait has any influence on the inheritance of the other
1. Polygenic inheritance
2. That the two genes are complementary
3. Single factor inheritance
4. That it is a test cross
Polygenic inheritance
1. Mating a black tom with a yellow tabby could give female tortoise-shell kittens
2. The same mating can give male tortoise-shell kittens
3. A yellow male mated with a tortoise-shell female could give black male kittens
4. A tortoise-shell kittens,whatever colour the tom cat she mates with
The same mating can give male tortoise-shell kittens
1. Test cross
2. Monohybrid cross
3. Dihybrid cross
4. None of these
Test cross
1. This is an example of a test cross
2. It would be expected that the pinks would not breed true
3. This shows that the genes blend in F1
4. This proves that colour has a genetic basis
It would be expected that the pinks would not breed true
