  2. 17.5

  3. 16.7

  4. 15.8


Correct Option: A

A polygenic trait is controlled by $3$ genes $A, B$ and $C$. In a cross $AaBbCc \times AaBbCc$, the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings was observed as
$1 : 6 : x : 20 : x : 6 : 1$ What is the possible value of $x$?

  1. $3$

  2. $9$

  3. $15$

  4. $25$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In polygenic inheritance, a particular trait is controlled by 3 different genes. The given problem is of polygenic inheritance. In this, phenotypic ratio is 1:6:15:20:15:6:1 instead of 27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1 in F$ _2$ generation. In the given example, the genotype of parents is AaBbCc and AaBbCc. They will produce gametes ABC, ABc, Abc, abc, aBC, aBc, abC, AbC. The phenotypic ratio will be 1:6:15:20:`15:6:1.

Thus, the correct answer is '15.'

Frequency of a perfect heterozygous cross between AABBCC and AaBbCc is

  1. 1/8

  2. 2/8

  3. 3/8

  4. 4/8


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Genotype AABBCC can produce only one type of gamete, i.e., ABC. The frequency for production of ABC gamete is 1.
Genotype AaBbCc can produce 8 types of gametes, i.e., ABC, Abc, ABc, AbC, abc, aBC, aBc and abC.
The frequency of production of one of these gametes is 1/8.
According to the question, a perfect heterozygous cross will occur only when abc gamete from AaBbCc parent fertilises with ABC gamete from AABBCC parent.
Thus, the frequency for this = 1/8X1 = 1/8.

A typical dihybrid and trihybrid test-cross ratio are respectively:

  1. $1:1$ and $1:1:1:1$

  2. $1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1$ and $1:1:1:1$

  3. $1:1:1:1$ and $1:1$

  4. $1:1:1:1$ and $1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Dihybrid Test ratio: $1:1:1:1$
Trihybrid Test ratio : $1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1$
Test cross $\Rightarrow F _1$ generation $X$ recessive parent 
for dihybrid test cross- $RrYy\times rryy$
for Trihybrid test cross- $yyrrtt\times YyRyTt$

Number of genotypes produced when individuals of genotype 'YyRrTt' are crossed with each other

  1. 4

  2. 45

  3. 28

  4. 27.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A trihybrid plant YyRrTt during fertilization produces 27 types of genotypes.

It is calculated as 3n , n= number of contrasting pairs of characters/traits.

In YyRrTt, 3 contrasting pairs of characters are present. So 33 = 27.

So, the correct option is ‘27’.

Trihybrid ratio is

  1. 27 : 9 : 9 : 9 : 3 : 3 : 3 : 1

  2. 27 : 9 : 9 : 6 : 6 : 3 : 3 : 1

  3. 1 : 6 : 15 : 20 : 15 : 6 : 1

  4. 36 : 6 : 6 : 6 : 3 : 3 : 3 : 1.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A cross is made between the two parents on the basis of 3 contrasting characters is called Trihybrid cross. Mendel conducted trihybrid cross by three characters height of the stem, form of seed, and colour of the cotyledons. In the F2 generation, he obtained, 27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1.

So, the correct option is ‘27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1’.

A plant of genotype AABbCC is selfed. Phenotypic ratio of $F _2$ generation would be

  1. 1 : 1

  2. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

  3. 3 : 1

  4. 27 : 9 : 9 : 9 : 3 : 3 : 3 : 1


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A plant with genotype AABbCC, is subjected to self pollination, in the F2 generation 3:1 ratio of progeny are formed, because the parent show only one pair of contrasting characters.

So, the correct option is ‘3:1’.

Number of phenotypes possible from AaBbCc $\times$ AaBbCc is

  1. 16

  2. 12

  3. 8

  4. 4


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When a cross is made between AaBbCc with AaBbCc, in the next generation 8 types of phenotypes appear, because this cross involves 3 pairs of contrasting characters 2n, n means number of pairs of characters.

Here 3 pairs of characters are present, 23 = 8.

So, the correct option is ‘8’.

How many types of gametes will be produced by individuals of AABbcc genotype?

  1. Two

  2. Four

  3. Six

  4. Nine


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The plant with genotype AABbcc produces only two types of namely ABc, Abc, because it shows one pair of contrasting characters.

So, the correct option is ‘Two’.

How many types of gametes are expected from the organism with genotype AA BB CC?

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Four

  4. Eight


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

AABBCC is trihybrid homozygous organism. This organism at the time of fertilization produces only one type of gametes. They are ABC.

So, the correct option is ‘one’.

The trihybrid phenotypic ratio of $27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1$ is obtained because of.

  1. Multiple alleles

  2. Interaction of genes

  3. Multiple factor inheritance

  4. Independent assortment of genes


Correct Option: A

A plant of F$ _{1}$-generation is having the genotype "AABbCC". On selfing of this plant, what is the phenotypic ratio in F$ _{2}$-generation?

  1. 3 : 1

  2. 1 : 1

  3. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

  4. 27 : 9 : 9 : 9 : 3 : 3 : 3 : 1


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is given that the f$ _1$ generation is having genotype AABbCC. The gametes of these parents will contain ABC and AbC alleles. On selfing of this plant, the phenotypic ratio of F$ _2$ generation will be 3:1. Similarly, the genotypic ratio of the F$ _2$ generation will be 1:2:1 where one part will be AABBCC. 2 parts will be AABbCC and 1 part will be AAbbCC.

Thus, the correct answer is '3:1.'

What proportion of the offsprings obtained from cross $AABBCC \times AaBbCc$ will be completely heterozygous for all the genes segregated independently?

  1. $1/8$

  2. $1/4$

  3. $1/2$

  4. $1/16$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since one parent is homozygous AABBCC  the genotype formed will be only 1 type i.e. ABC. The other parent is heterozygous for all genes. About 1/8th or 12.5% of total offspring will be heterozygous at all three-locus.


So the answer is '1/8'. 

Find out the number of plants produced with genoptype AabbCc out of 256 seeds collected from $F 2$ progennines of a trihybrid cross ______.

  1. 32

  2. 16

  3. 12

  4. 8


Correct Option: B

Frequency of recombinant plants in the $F _2$ generation of a trihybrid cross is?

  1. $42.18\%$

  2. $96.8\%$

  3. $56.25\%$

  4. $43.75\%$


Correct Option: A

The offspring of AA bb $\times$ aa BB is crossed with, aabb. The genotypic ratio of progeny will be

  1. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

  2. 1 : 2 : 1

  3. 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

  4. 4 : 1


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The cross is made between AAbb to aaBB. The progeny formed shows the genotype AaBb. This progeny is crossed with aabb. The genotypes of the progeny are 4 AaBb, 4Aabb, 4aaBb, 4aabb. The genotypic ratio is 1:1:1:1.

So, the correct option is ‘1:1:1:1’.

What percentage of offsprings would have the genotype AA Bb Cc in F2 generation of a trihybrid cross __________.

  1. 12.5%

  2. 6.25%

  3. 25%

  4. 37.5%


Correct Option: A

In humans, pointed eyebrows (B) are dominant over smooth eyebrows (b). Seemas father has pointed eyebrows, but she and her mother have smooth. What is the genotype of the father?

  1. BB

  2. Bb

  3. bb

  4. BbBb


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since pointed eyebrow (B) is dominant over smooth eyebrows (b). So, Seema can have smooth eyebrows only if her father is heterozygous for the dominant character. If her father has the genotype Bb and her mother is bb (smooth eyebrows) then her genotype will be either Bb (pointed) or bb(smooth eyebrows). If however, her father is homozygous for the trait the gamete being transferred from him will have the allele B and hence the progeny will only show the genotype Bb for pointed eyebrows. So, the correct option is 'Bb'.

On selfing a plant of ${F} _{1}$ generation with genotype "AABbCC", the genotypic ratio in ${F} _{2}$-generation will be

  1. $1:2:1$

  2. $1:1$

  3. $9:3:3:1$

  4. $27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The possible gametes from the given genotype AABbCC are ABC and AbC.

The various possibilities of their their selfing would be :
1.  ABC × ABC = AABBCC
2. ABC × AbC = AABbCC
3. AbC × ABC = AABbCC
4. AbC × AbC = AAbbCC
It is evident from the above crosses that the genotypic ratio of F2 generation will be 1:2:1.
So, the correct option is '1:2:1'.

In $TtggRr \times TtGgRr$, the percentage of recessive individuals will be

  1. 12

  2. 6

  3. 25

  4. 3


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a trihybrid cross, there are 32 possible combinations of alleles in the Punnett square out of which only one of the 32 combinations is recessive

i.e.3.125%
So, the correct option is '3'.

In trihybrid, when all gene show complete linkage then what is the ratio of test cross?

  1. 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

  2. 1 : 1

  3. 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

  4. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A trihybrid cross is between two individuals that are heterozygous for three different traits. For example, RrYyCc x RrYyCc is a trihybrid cross where, 

RR = round, Rr = round, rr = wrinkled
YY = green, Yy = green, yy = yellow

CC = smooth, Cc = smooth, cc = constricted
The complete linkage is when genes are so closely associated that they are always trans­mitted together, and that does not undergo crossing over. 
So, in this case, the ratio of test cross for trihybrid with complete linkage will be 1:1. 
Thus, the correct answer is '1:1'.

Self fertilising trihybrid plants form

  1. Eight different gametes and 64 different zygotes

  2. Four different gametes and sixteen different zygotes

  3. Eight different gametes and sixteen different zygotes

  4. Eight different gametes and thirty two different zygotes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A total number of types of gamete produced by an organism is 2$^n$, where n is the number of heterozygous genes present. As we know that trihybrid plant is heterozygous for three genes, these total possible gametes by it = 2$^3$ = 8. During fertilization, any of the 8 types of sperms can fuse with any of the 8 types of egg to produce 64 possible combinations of zygotes. This makes option A correct but C and D wrong. Four different types of gametes are produced by an organism who is heterozygous for two genes; 2$^2$ = 4 and resultant four gametes produce total 4 x 4 = 16 zygotic combinations. Thus, option B is wrong.

How many different kinds of gametes will be produced by a plant having the genotype AaBbCC?

  1. Two

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. Nine


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

AaBbCC will produce 4 types of gametes which are as follows- ABC, AbC, aBC, abC. The number of gametes formed is decided by the number of heterozygous alleles present in the given genotype. 2^n is the formula used to find it out, where n=number of heterozygous alleles present in the genotype. Say for example, in the above genotype Aa & Bb are the 2 heterozygous alleles, so here n=2. Putting the values in the formula , we get 2^2=4. Hence 4 types of gametes are formed.

So the correct option is 'four'.

If a quantitative character is influenced by the additive effect of four genes how many phenotypic categories are expected in the progeny of a tetrahybrid cross

  1. $5$

  2. $7$

  3. $9$

  4. $11$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

For quantitative inheritance by four genes, we have a total of 8 alleles that will determine the phenotypes of the individual. Those offspring with all 8 dominant alleles ( Let's assume it as AABBCCDD ) will show the highest additive effect. Gradually as we keep decreasing the number of dominant alleles, additive effect will become less prominent. Hence, offspring with 7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1 dominant alleles will show different phenotypes. Finally, those individuals with no dominant alleles i.e. all recessive ( aabbccdd ) will show the least additive effect of characters. If we count all of them we have a total of 09 types of phenotypes possible. 

So, the correct option is '9'.

When a hybrid (AaBbCcDd) is selfed then the genotypes AABbCCDd, AaBBCcDd, AaBbCcDd, aabbccdd would be in a proportion of?

  1. $2 : 4 : 8 : 21$

  2. $4 : 8 : 16 : 1$

  3. $4 : 8 : 16 : 27$

  4. $8 : 4 : 16 : 81$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The tetrahybrid cross of AaBbCcDd can be easily calculated by assuming their independent assortment.

The probability of both the alleles same is 1/4
The probability of both alleles different is 1/2
Hence when we calculate this for all the conditions AABbCCDd, AaBBCcDd, AaBbCcDd, aabbccdd is 4:8:16:1

So the correct answer is ' 4  : 8 : 16 : 1'.
