Mendelian Inheritance: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as Mendel's Experiment, Mendel's Laws of Inheritance, Punnett Square, Laws of Inheritance, Monohybrid Cross, Law of Dominance, Dihybrid Cross, Law of Segregation & Law of Independent Assortment etc.
Important Questions on Mendelian Inheritance
Pure Bred Pea Plant A is crossed with pure bred pea plant B. It is found that the plants which look like A do not appear in F1 generation, which of the plants A and B are tall and dwarf?

Who is known as ‘father of genetics’?

Which of the following statement is true about the “Law of Segregation"?

Who proposed the law of inheritance?

Sonu performed an experiment to study dihybrid cross for round/wrinkled and yellow/green coloured seeds. He obtained 2432 seeds in total. What will be the number of seeds which are round and yellow?

If a pea plant with wrinkled seeds and heterozygous tall plants were self pollinated, what will be the phenotypes of plants of F2 generation

A round green (RRyy) seed plant is crossed with a wrinkled yellow (rrYY) seed plant. According to Mendel’s law the phenotypic ratio in F2 generation will be


Phenotypic ratio of F2 generation in dihybrid cross is

If a round, green seeded pea plant (RRyy) is crossed with wrinkled, yellow seeded pea plant (rrYY) the seeds produced in F1 generation are :

Genotypic ratio of F2 generation in monohybrid cross is

The crossing of homozygous tall plant with a dwarf would yield plants in the ratio of:


If a heterozygous tall plant is crossed with a homozygous dwarf plant, the proportion of dwarf progeny will

Mendel crossed a pure white-flowered recessive pea plant with a dominant pure red-flowered plant. The first generation of hybrids from the cross should show

Which genotype represents a true dihybrid condition?

The cross used to ascertain whether the plant is homozygous or heterozygous is

The year 1990 AD is highly significant for genetics due to the


Mendel was lucky in the choice of the material of his experiments. Among the following, which contributed to his success?
