A plant is of F₁ generation with genotype "AABbCC". On selfing of this plant what is the phenotypic ratio in F ₂ generation?
Options
- A3: 1
- B1: 1
- C9: 3: 3: 1
- D27: 9: 9: 9: 3: 3: 3: 1
Correct answer
A. 3: 1
Step-by-step solution
The genotype of F₁ generation is AABbCC Number of gametes that are obtained by crossing can be obtained by formula =2^n (where n represents the number of heterozygous gametes) Thus, the number of heterozygous gametes =2^1=2 2 gametes formed are: ABC and AbC . On self crossing F₁ generation, the phenotypes that are formed in F ₂ generation are in the ratio of 3: 1
