If a female plant of genetic constitution AABB is crossed to a male plant of genetic constitution aabb and the F1 is test crossed, the genetic constitution of the test crossed progenies will be
A. 1AABB : 1AAbb : 1aaBB : 1aabb
B. 1AABB : 1AaBb : 1AaBB : 1aaBb
C. 1AABB : 1AABb : 1AaBB : 1aabb
D. 1AaBb : 1Aabb : 1aaBb : 1aabb
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
If a female plant of genetic constitution AABB is crossed to a male plant of genetic constitution aabb and the F1 is test crossed, the genetic constitution of the test crossed progenies will be 1AaBb : 1Aabb : 1aaBb : 1aabb.Under the law of dominance in genetics, an individual expressing a dominant phenotype could contain either two copies of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant) or one copy of each dominant and recessive allele (heterozygous dominant). By performing a test cross, one can determine whether the individual is heterozygous or homozygous dominant.
The test cross ratio obtained by crossing AABB X aabb will be 1 : 1 : 1 : 1.
