Which of the following is correct for the condition when plant YyRr is...
Answer:
A. 9:3:3:1 ratio of phenotypes
Explanation:
- Test cross is a cross between an individual showing a dominant phenotype but with unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual.
- In the given scenario, plant YyRr is test crossed with double recessive parent A (aa rr).
- The possible gametes of YyRr are YR, Yr, yR, and yr.
- The gametes of aa rr parent are ar and ar.
- The possible genotypes of the offspring are YyRr, Yyrr, yyRr, and yyrr.
- The phenotype of YyRr is dominant for both traits (yellow and round), and the phenotype of aa rr is recessive for both traits (green and wrinkled).
- The expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1, which means 9 plants with dominant phenotype for both traits, 3 plants with dominant phenotype for one trait and recessive for the other trait, 3 plants with recessive phenotype for one trait and dominant for the other trait, and 1 plant with recessive phenotype for both traits.
- The expected genotypic ratio of the offspring is 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1, which means 1 YyRr, 2 Yyrr, 1 yyRr, 2 yyrr, 4 aarr, 2 aaRr, 1 Aarr, 2 AaRr, and 1 AArr.
- Therefore, the correct answer is A. 9:3:3:1 ratio of phenotypes.
