As we learnt ,

 

Result of cross in F2 -

When F1 was self pollinated, F2 resulted in the following ratio:

1(RR) : 2(Rr) : 1 (rr)

- wherein

The genotype ratio is as expected by the phenotype ratio from 3:1 changed.

 

 Given , that Y is dominant for yellow fur and y is recessive for grey fur , the cross between Yy and Yy will will produce ratio of 1 YY : 2 Yy : 1 yy . But as Y is lethal in homozygous condition , hence phenotypic ratio would be 2 yellow (Yy) : 1 grey (yy) .
