A cross between two plants resulted in the formation of tall and dwarf offsprings in the ratio of 3:1. The genotypes of their parents will be __________.
Options
- ATT and TT
- BTT and tt
- CTt and Tt
- Dtt and tt
Correct answer
C. Tt and Tt
Step-by-step solution
A phenotypic ratio of for tall and dwarf offsprings is obtained in a monohybrid cross when both parents are heterozygous for the trait.
Let the dominant allele for tallness be and the recessive allele for dwarfness be .
When two heterozygous parents (Tt), the gametes produced by each parent are and .
The resulting offspring genotypes are : : .
The corresponding phenotypes are tall (TTTt dwarf (ttTtTt
