In a dihybrid cross, if you get 9:3:3:1 ratio it denotes that:
1. The alleles of two genes are interacting with each other
2. It is a multigenic inheritance
3. It is a case of multiple allelism
4. The alleles of two genes are segregating independently.

It is said that Mendel proposed that the factor controlling any character is discrete and independent. His
proposition was based on the
1. results of F3 generation of a cross.
2. observations that the offspring of a cross made between the plants having two contrasting
characters shows only one character without any blending.
3. self pollination of F1 offsprings
4. cross pollination of F1 generation with recessive parent

Two genes ‘A’ and ‘B’ are linked. In a dihybrid cross involving these two genes, the F1 heterozygote is crossed with homozygous recessive parental type (aa bb). What would be the ratio of offspring in the next generation?
1. 1 : 1 : 1: 1
2. 9 : 3 : 3 : 1
3. 3 : 1
4. 1 : 1
