Question:
Which one of the following genetic crosses and their results indicates cytoplasmic inheritance?
Which one of the following genetic crosses and their results indicates cytoplasmic inheritance?
Updated On: Jan 22, 2025
- Wild-type male x mutant female → 100% progeny are mutant
- Wild-type male x mutant female → 25% progeny are wild-type
- Mutant male x wild-type female → 50% progeny are mutant
- Mutant male x wild-type female → 75% progeny are wild-type

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Cytoplasmic inheritance involves genes in organelles like mitochondria, which are inherited maternally. All offspring inherit the mother’s cytoplasmic traits.

If a heterozygous tall plant (Tt) is crossed with a dwarf plant (tt), what will be the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
- Assertion (A): When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations is much higher than non-parental type.
Reason (R): Higher parental gene combinations can be attributed to crossing over between two genes. Study the cross given below:
Identify the abnormalities ‘1’ and ‘2’ in the offsprings of a cross done between a couple and distinguish between them.- Assertion (A): One of the properties of genetic code is degeneracy.
Reason (R): Some amino acids can be coded by more than one codon. - Assertion (A): A bioreactor provides the optimal conditions for achieving the desired product by providing optimum growth conditions.
Reason (R): The most commonly used bioreactors are of stirring type.
