Answer:
Smooth & yellow: 9
smooth & green: 3
wrinkled & yellow: 3
wrinkled & green: 1
Explanation:
Gene controlling seed color are yellow Vs green
Gene controlling seed texture are smooth Vs wrinkled
In F1 generation, A true breeding smooth green plant (SSyy) is crossed to a true breeding wrinkled yellow (ssYY)
Off spring in F1 generation are smooth yellow (SsYy)
This means smooth texture is dominant over wrinkled texture and yellow color is dominant over green
in F2 generation, the cross is carried between SsYy
SY Sy sY sy
SY SSYY SSYy SsYY SsYy
Sy SSYy SSyy SsYy Ssyy
sY SsYY SsYy ssYY ssYy
sy SsYy Ssyy ssYy ssyy
Smooth & yellow: 9
smooth & green: 3
wrinkled & yellow: 3
wrinkled & green: 1
Answer:
1/4 WR; 1/4 wr; 1/4 wR; 1/4 Wr
Explanation:
The principle of independent assortment indicates how different genes independently separate from one another when gametic (reproductive) cells develop. When a cell divides by meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, thereby different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. In consequence, each gamete has a unique combination of chromosomes. In this case, the two genes are on different homologous chromosomes, thereby gene variants (alleles) will be randomly distributed to daughter cells during meiosis (anaphase I) and thus the expected proportion of gamete genotypes will be 1/4 WR, 1/4 wr, 1/4 wR, 1/4 Wr.
