In peas, a pure tall plant (TT) is crossed with a short plant (tt). The ratio of pure tall plants to short plants in F2 is
(a) 1 : 3
(b) 3 : 1
(c) 1 : 1
(d) 2 : 1
Answer: (d)
Solution:
Parent generation TT (pure tall) x tt (pure dwarf)
Gametes T t
F1 generation Tt (heterozygous tall)
F2 generation
F2 Generation Phenotypic ratio = 3:1
Genotypic ratio = 1: 2: 1
Therefore, option (d) is correct.
