The correct option is D

F1 x Any Parent


The correct option is D.

Explanation for the correct option

  1. Backcrossing is the process of a hybrid organism (offspring of genetically diverse parents) mating with one of its parents or a genetically related species. Backcrossing is a technique used in genetics research to isolate (separate) specific features in a group of related animals or plants.
  2. A back cross occurs when a hybrid and a parent cross.
  3. It aids in the production of genetically similar children to their parents.
  4. It can be used to pass on desirable traits to future generations, such as disease resistance.

Final answer: The back cross is a cross between F1 and any parent.
