Ratio of complementary genes is

  1. 9 : 3 : 4
  2. 9 : 7
  3. 12 : 3 : 1
  4. 9 : 3 : 3 : 4

Answer

(2) 9 : 7

Solution

With complementary genes the new phenotype appears only when both dominant genes are present (A\B\).

⇒ In the F2 of a dihybrid cross, A\B\ = 9 and A\bb + aaB\ + aabb = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.

∴ Ratio = 9 : 7.

  2. In Drosophila Y-chromosome decides femaleness
  3. Y chromosome of man have genes for syndrome
  4. In human beings Y chromosome is active in sex determination
