Question

Match List I with List II:

List I		List II
A	Two or more alternative forms of a gene	I	Back cross
B	Cross of F1 progeny with homozygous recessive parent	II	Ploidy
C	Cross of F progeny with any of the parents	III	Allele
D	Number of chromosome sets in plant	IV	Test cross

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this problem, we need to correctly match terms from List I to their definitions in List II. Let's break down each term and match them accordingly:

List I	Definition	List II
A	Two or more alternative forms of a gene	III
B	Cross of F1 progeny with homozygous recessive parent	IV
C	Cross of F progeny with any of the parents	I
D	Number of chromosome sets in plant	II

1. Term A: 'Two or more alternative forms of a gene' is defined as an allele. Thus, term A matches with option III.
2. Term B: 'Cross of F₁ progeny with homozygous recessive parent' corresponds to a test cross. Therefore, term B matches with option IV.
3. Term C: 'Cross of F progeny with any of the parents' is a back cross. Hence, term C matches with option I.
4. Term D: 'Number of chromosome sets in plant' relates to ploidy. Thus, term D matches with option II.

Therefore, the correct matching is: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
