Question

Two pea plants were subjected for cross pollination. Of the 183 plants produced in the next generation, 94 plants were found to be tall and 89 plants were found to be dwarf. The genotypes of the two parental plants are likely to be

Answer 1

The ratio is Almost 1:1.
Therefore, the parental genotypes will be
Ttxtt

Answer 2

The genotypes of two parental plants are : Tt and tt

Explanation:

• Let us assume that a tall plant can be homozygous TT or heterozygous Tt. A dwarf plant is tt.

        If Tt X tt :

           T   t

       t  Tt   tt

       t  Tt   tt

• Half of the plants will have Tt genotype and will be tall. Other half will have tt genotype and will be short.

• In the question it is given that 94 plants are tall and 89 plants are dwarf which means that they are almost same in number hence are divided equally. Hence genotype of two parental plants are Tt and tt.
