purple-flowered tall plants (rrtt) are crossed with white-flowered dwarf plants (wet). in the f2 generation, of 16 possible combinations, how many would be white, tall

Sagot :

When a purple-colored tall plant crosses with white colored dwarf plant, in the F2 generation out of 16 possible combinations three will be white and tall plants.

In the F1 generation cross between a homozygous purple-colored tall plant and white colored dwarf plant results in the purple-colored tall plant but with a heterozygous genotype. When a heterozygous plant is inbred with another heterozygous purple-colored tall plant there are sixteen possible genotypes are possible out of which 10 are with the parental phenotype (Purple tall and dwarf white) and 6 are with the recombined phenotype(purple dwarf and white tall).

This type of cross in which two traits are considered ( tallness and flower color) is a dihybrid cross.
