When a tall pea plant is crossed with the dwarf pea plant .What will be the genotypic ratio of F2 generation after the selfing of F1 plants? |
3:1 1:2:1 9:3:3:1 None of these |
1:2:1 |
The correct answer is Option (2)- 1:2:1 When a tall pea plant (dominant trait, T) is crossed with a dwarf pea plant (recessive trait, t), the F1 generation will be heterozygous (Tt) and all tall, assuming complete dominance. When the F1 plants (Tt) are self-pollinated, the F2 generation will exhibit the following genotypic ratio:
Thus, the genotypic ratio of the F2 generation is: 1:2:1
A monohybrid cross conducted by Mendel between true breeding tall plants and true breeding dwarf plants. |
