Question

QUESTION 30 5 points *BONUS In a breed of corn, purple kernels are dominant (R) and yellow kernels are recessive (r). Starchy kernels are dominant (T) to sweet kernels (t). What would be the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies of the offspring between a homozygous dominant corn plant for both traits and a homozygous recessive corn plant for both traits? You may need to draw a dihybrid punnett square with 16 offspring squares to answer this question. T TT Arial : 3 (12pt) : T. :-·-·?- Path:p Words:0

Explanation / Answer

The genotype of homozygous purple with starchy kernels - RRTT.

The genotype of homozygous yellow with sweet kernels - rrtt.

Cross RRTT X rrtt

Gametes formed RT rt

F1 generation RrTt(purple with starchy kernels) X RrTt

Gametes formed RT, Rt, rT and rt   RT, Rt, rT and rt

F2 generation:

The phenotype frequencies:

Purple with starchy kernels - 9/16.

Purple with sweet kernels - 3/16.

Yellow with starchy kernels - 3/16.

Yellow with sweet kernels - 1/16.

The genotype frequencies:

RRTT - 1/16.

RRTt - 2/16 = 1/8.

RrTT - 2/16 = 1/8.

RrTt - 4/16 = 1/4.

RRtt - 1/16.

Rrtt - 2/16 = 1/8.

rrTT - 1/16.

rrTt - 2/16 = 1/8.

rrtt - 1/16.
