Question

The dihybrid test cross ratio is
  1. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
  2. 3 : 1
  3. 1 : 1 : 1 : 1
  4. 1 : 1

A
3 : 1
B
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
C
1 : 1
D
1 : 1 : 1 : 1
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A test cross is performed to determine the genotype of a dominant parent if it is a heterozygous or homozygous dominant. For the purpose, a dominant parent is crossed with the homozygous recessive parent. A test cross between F1 dihybrid and homozygous recessive dihybrid gives 1:1:1:1 ratio. Whereas selfing of dihybrid produces 9:3:3:1 ratio in the F2 generation and 3:1 ratio is obtained by self-pollination of monohybrid F1 progeny. A monohybrid test cross between F1 hybrid and the homozygous recessive parent gives 1:1 ratio.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
