In a monohybrid cross between pure tall pea plant with pure dwarf pea plant, how many types of genotypes are found in the F2F_2 generation ?

Options

  1. A4
  2. B3
  3. C8
  4. D9

Correct answer

B. 3

Step-by-step solution

A pure tall pea plant has the genotype TTTT and a pure dwarf pea plant has the genotype tttt.

The cross between them (TT \times tt)produces) producesF_1offspringwiththegenotypeoffspring with the genotypeTt(heterozygoustall).<br><br>Selfingthe(heterozygous tall).<br><br>Selfing theF_1generation(Tt×Ttgeneration (Tt \times Tt) yields the F2F_2 generation.

The genotypes produced in the F2F_2 generation are TTTT, TtTt, and tttt.

Thus, there are 33 types of genotypes found in the F2F_2 generation.
