What will be the number of genotypes and phenotypes obtained in F2 generation when male parent RRyy is crossed with female parent rrYY? |
16 and 4 respectively 4 and 16 respectively 9 and 4 respectively 4 and 9 respectively |
9 and 4 respectively |
The correct answer is Option (3)- 9 and 4 respectively In Mendel’s dihybrid cross, cross is made between heterozygous round green seeds(RRyy) to another heterozygous wrinkled yellow seeds(rrYY). In the F1 generation, all plants are heterozygous Round yellow(RrYy). Parents : RRyy X rrYY F1: RrYy Gametes : RY, Ry, rY, ry
Genotypic ratio : 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1 To find the genotypes and phenotypes in the F2 generation, we need to consider the possible combinations of alleles: Genotypes: RRYY, RRYy, RRyy, RrYY, RrYy, Rryy, rrYY, rrYy, rryy (total 9) Phenotypes: Round yellow, Round green, Wrinkled yellow, Wrinkled green (total 4) So, the correct answer is (3)- 9 genotypes and 4 phenotypes. |
