In a certain plant , yellow fruit colour (Y) is dominant to green fruit colour (y) and round shape (R) is dominant to oval shape (r) . The two genes involved are located on different chromosomes.
Which of the following will result when plant YyRr is self - pollinated ?
9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio of phenotypes only
9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio of genotypes only
1 : 1 : 1 : 1 ratio of phenotypes only
1 : 1 : 1 : 1 ratio of phenotypes and genotypes
As we learnt
Dihybrid cross -
It is a cross between plants differing in two traits.
- wherein
Like color and shape
When plant YyRr is self pollinated, 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio of phenotypes is observed.
Phenotypic ratio = 9 yellow and round : 3 yellow and oval : 3 green and round : 1 green and oval.
