47) Consider this dihybrid cross: TtRr x Ttrr
T: tall plant; t: short plant; R: red flowers; r: white flowers
What are the possible gametes?
48) In the dihybrid cross above (TtRr x Ttrr), how many offspring would be short with white flowers?
49) In the same dihybrid cross above (TtRr x Ttrr), how many offspring would have red flowers (tall and short plants combined)?
50) And finally, how many different phenotypes could result from the cross above (TtRr x Ttrr)?
Ans47)a)TR, Tr, tR, tr, and Tr, Tr, tr, tr
Ans48)a)2
Ans49)d)8
Ans50)b)4
Explaination:
Cross between TtRr xTtrr
P genotype:Tt Rr. x Tt rr
Gametes:TR,Tr,tR,tr. Tr, Tr, tr,tr
F1 progeny:
TTRr( Tall plants with red flower) | TTRr(Tall plant with red flower,) | TtRr(Tall plant with Red flower) | TtRr(Tall with red flower) |
TTrr(Tall plants with white flower) | TTrr(Tall plant with white flower) | Ttrr(Tall plant with white flower) | Ttrr(tall plant with white flower) |
TtRr((Tall plants with red flower) | TtRr(Tall plant with red flower) | ttRr (short plant with red flower) | ttRr(short plant with red flower) |
Ttrr (tall plant with white flower) | Ttrr(Tall plant with white flower) | ttrr (short plant with white flower) | ttrr(short plant with white flowers) |
There are four types phenotypes resulted in progeny of given cross :-
Phenotypic ratio:-
Tall plant with red flower: Tall plant with white flower : short plant with red flower : short plant with white flower (6:6:2:2).
There are 6 offspring that are tall with red flower.
There are 6 offspring that are tall with white flower
There are 2 offspring that are short with red flower
There are 2 offspring that are short with white flower
No of progeny with red flowers (combined tall and short plant) =6+2=8
