A green stemmed rose plant denoted by GG and a brown stemmed rose plant denoted by gg
are allowed to undergo a cross with each other.
(a) List your observations regarding :
(i) Colour of stem in their F1 progeny
(ii) Percentage of brown stemmed plants in F2 progeny if plants are self pollinated.
(iii) Ratio of GG and Gg in the F2 progeny.
(b) Based on the findings of this cross, what conclusion can be drawn?
(a)
1. All green-stemmed plants.
2. 1 out of 4 = 25% will be brown stemmed plants
3. Ratio of GG and Gg in the F2 progeny will be 1:2
(b) The green stem trait is dominant over the brown stem trait.
