18011.The F2 generation offspring in a plant showing incomplete dominance, exhibit
variable genotypic and phenotypic ratios
a genotypic ratio of 1 : 1
a phenotypic ratio of 3 : 1
similar phenotypic and genotypic ratios of 1 : 2 : 1
18012.In pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If a heterozygous yellow seeded plant is crossed with a green seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green seeded plants would you expect in F1 generation?
3 : 1
50 : 50
9 : 1
1 : 3
18013.A common test to find the genotype of a hybrid is by:

Crossing of one F2 progeny with male parent
Crossing of one F2 progeny with female parent
Studying the sexual behaviour of F1 progenies
18014.A person with unknown blood group under ABO system, has suffered much blood loss in an accident and needs immediate blood transfusion.
