Match the following lists: List - I List - II (A) Back cross It is the genetic make up of an individual. (B) Test cross (II) An individual is having two different alleles for a single character. Consequently, it will produce two different types of gametes with reference to a gene. (C) Heterozygote (III) An individual is having two similar or identical alleles for a single character. Hence, it will produce only one kind of gametes with reference to a gene. (D) Homozygote (IV) If the F 1 progeny are mated back to one of their parents. (V) The cross between F 1 progeny (or heterozygotes) and their recessive homozygous parent. The correct match is:

A = IV , B = V , C = II , D = III

A = IV , B = V , C = I , D = II

A = V , B = III , C = I , D = II

A = V , B = IV , C = II , D = I
