The phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross is
A9:3:3:1
B3:1
C1:1
D2:1
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 3:1
1. A monohybrid cross follows a single character, such as height in pea.
2. The F1 plants are all of the dominant phenotype.
3. Self pollinating them gives an F2 in the ratio 3:1.
4. The genotypic ratio underneath that phenotype is 1:2:1, which is a different figure.
