Option: 1

9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio of phenotypes only


Option: 2

9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio of genotypes only


Option: 3

As we learnt

Punnett square -

Punnett square is a graphical representation to calculate the probability of  all possible genotypes of offspring in a genetic cross.

- wherein

 

 

When YyRr is crossed with double recessive parent then genotypic and phenotypic ratio is 1 : 1 : 1 : 1.

 

Phenotypic ratio = 1 yellow round : 1 yellow oval : 1 green round : 1 Green and oval . This reperesents a test cross .
