Question
in tomates the flesh can be either red or yellow. Below is a chart of several crosses and the actual phenotype ratios. Complete the genotype colummns in the table/.
Parent Pheotype Phenotypes of offspring Redxred possible genotypes of parents ? 75 redyellow possible genotypes for the offspring ? Redxred possible genotypes of parents ? 61 red, 19 yellow yellow possible genotypes for the offspring ? Redx yellow possible genotypes of parents ? 68 red yellow possible genotypes for the offspring ? Yellow x yellow possible genotypes of parents ? 84 yellow yellow possible genotypes for the offspring ? Red x yellow possible genotypes of parents ? 49 red, 52 yellow possible genotypes for the offspring ?Explanation / Answer
a) What phenotype is dominant?
Red is dominant.
b) What are the genotypes of the parents and offspring in each case?
Let R be dominant red allele and let r be the yellow allele.
Cross 1: RR X RR (or r) = Progeny are RR or ½ RR and ½ Rr
Cross 2: Rr X Rr = Progeny are ¼ RR, ½ Rr and ¼ rr
Cross 3: RR X rr = Progeny are all Rr
Cross 4: rr X rr = Progeny are all rr
Cross 5: Rr X rr = Progeny are ½ Rr and ½ rr
