How many of the following genotypes are representing tall plants with round seeds? TTrr, Ttrr, TtRr, TTRr, ttrr, TtRR

Options

  1. ATwo
  2. BThree
  3. CFour
  4. DSix

Correct answer

B. Three

Step-by-step solution

In pea plants, the allele for tallness ( T ) is dominant over dwarfness ( t ), and the allele for round seeds ( R ) is dominant over wrinkled seeds ( r ). For a plant to be tall with round seeds, its genotype must contain at least one dominant allele for both traits, which means it must be of the form T _R _ . Analyzing the given genotypes: TTrr : Tall, wrinkled Ttrr : Tall, wrinkled TtRr : Tall, round TTRr : Tall, round ttrr : Dwarf, wrinkled TtRR : Tall, round There are three genotypes ( TtRr , TTRr , and TtRR )
