Question
A tall violet flowered plant (TTVV) is crossed with a dwarf white flowered plant (ttvv). When the F1 plants are self pollinated, a total of 1600 F2 plants are produced. Among them, how many plants are tall with white flowers?
Answer: Option C
:
C
This is a typical dihybrid cross. Both parents are homozygous, so two different types of gametes will be formed- (TV) and (tv) respectively. The F1 plant will be heterozygous with the genotype (TtVv). Four different gametes are formed by the F1 plants- (TV), (Tv), (tV), (tv).
As you can see from the Punnett tool, the phenotypes in the F2 progeny are observedin a 9:3:3:1 ratio. Among these, tall plants with white flowers are one (TTvv) and two(Ttvv), thus a total of 3- recombinants which are produced3 times in every 16progenies. Hence out of 1600 plants, 316∗1600=300 are tall plants with white flowers.
