Important Questions on Terminologies Used in Genetics
Mating of an organism to a double recessive in order to determine whether it is homozygous or heterozygous for a character under consideration is called

Pure line breed refers to ____.

Which one of the following genotypes can form only 2 different types of gametes?

The below diagram represents

The recessive character of Mendel was

If after a cross, a particular plant produces dominant characters and recessive characters, the probable genotypes of the parents would be

A heterozygous tall plant which produces round seed is crossed with a homozygous dwarf plant which produces wrinkled seeds. The offspring would be in the phenotypic ratio:

In a plant, red flower is dominant over yellow flower and tallness dominant over shortness . A plant with genotype is crossed with plant of genotype. The progeny is:

How would you test a pea plant whether it is pure or hybrid for tallness?

From the given statements, find the correct option:
I. Test crosses are used to determine the unknown genotype of an organism within one breeding generation.
II. Test cross is a cross between F1 hybrid and dominant or recessive parents.

An allele that mask the effect of another allele is called

Genetically identical progeny is produced when an individual :

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

In an organism, tall phenotype is dominant over recessive dwarf phenotype and the alleles are designated as and respectively. Upon crossing two different individuals, total offsprings were obtained, out of which displayed tall phenotype and rest were dwarf. Thus, the genotype of the parents were

The hereditary characters are due to

Find out the statements that come under the scope of genetics from the following.

'One gene one enzyme' concept was put forward by:

The term "genotype" was coined by

Who coined the term "gene"?

If a cross made between two individuals produces offspring with dominant character and recessive character (a), then the genotypes of the parents are
