Pedigree analysis is resorted to for genetic analysis in humans rather than conventional genetic methods because:

I. Choice matings are not possible

II. Number of progeny is limited

Of the two statements:

(1) Only I is correct

(2) Only II is correct

(3) Both I and II are correct

(4) Both I and II are incorrect

In a monohybrid cross F1 progeny resemble neither of the parents. What would be true in this case?

1. The parental traits would not appear in any of the F2 -progenies

2. The F2 phenotypic ratio will be different from the F2 genotypic ratio

3. It could be a case of incomplete dominance

4. The F2 phenotypic ratio will be similar to any Mendelian monohybrid cross
