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

  1. ATT and TT
  2. BTT and tt
  3. CTt and Tt
  4. Dtt and tt

Correct answer

C. Tt and Tt

Step-by-step solution

A phenotypic ratio of 3:13:1 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 TT and the recessive allele for dwarfness be tt.

When two heterozygous parents (Tt)arecrossed(Tt×Tt) are crossed (Tt \times Tt), the gametes produced by each parent are TT and tt.

The resulting offspring genotypes are 1TT1TT : 2Tt2Tt : 1tt1tt.

The corresponding phenotypes are 33 tall (TTandandTt)and1) and 1 dwarf (tt).<br><br>Thus,thegenotypesoftheparentsmustbe).<br><br>Thus, the genotypes of the parents must beTtandandTt.<br><br>Answer:TtandTt.<br><br>Answer: Tt and Tt
