Question

In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), red flowers (R) is dominant to white flowers (r), and wide leaves (W) is dominant to narrow leaves (w). A tall, red, wide-leaved plant is crossed to a short, white, narrow-leaved plant and the progeny are as follows: tall, red, wide: 360 short, white, narrow: 360 tall, white, narrow: 89 short, red, wide: 91 tall, white, wide: 38 short, red, narrow: 42 tall, red, narrow: 11 short, white, wide: 9 Total: 1000 What is the genotype (with correct arrangement of alleles) of a tall, red, wide-leaved parent

Answer 1

Answer:

Tt Rr WW

Explanation:

Given:

1. tall (T) is dominant to short (t)

2. red flowers (R) is dominant to white flowers (r)

3. wide leaves (W) is dominant to narrow leaves (w)

4. Also, a tall, red, wide-leaved plant is crossed to a short, white, narrow-leaved plant

To find: genotype (with correct arrangement of alleles) of a tall, red, wide-leaved parent

Solution:

Genotype (with correct arrangement of alleles) of a tall, red, wide-leaved parent is Tt Rr WW
