In Mendel's experiments with garden pea, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), yellow cotyledon (YY) was dominant over green cotyledon (yy). What are the expected phenotypes in the F ₂ generation the cross RRYY rryy?
Options
- Around seeds with yellow cotyledons, and wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons
- Bonly round seeds with green cotyledons
- Conly wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons
- Donly wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons
Correct answer
A. round seeds with yellow cotyledons, and wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons
Step-by-step solution
When a cross (dihybrid) is made between plants bearing round yellow (RRYY) and wrinkled green (rryy) seeds, all the plants in F ₁ . (Ref. to Fig. 26.1)
