A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make up of the tall parent can be depicted as

A garden pea plant produced axial white flowers. Another of the same species produced terminal violet flowers. Identify the dominant traits.

In peas, tallness is dominant over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated by a dwarf plant bearing white flowers, the different phenotypic groups were obtained in the progeny in numbers mentioned against them Tall, Red = 138 Tall, White = 132 Dwarf, Red = 136 Dwarf, White = 128 Mention the genotypes of the two parents and of the types of four offspring

A cross between a red flower bearing plant and a white flower bearing plant of Antirrhinum produced all plants having pink flowers. Work out a cross to explain how this is possible.

In a particular plant species majority of the plants bear purple flowers. Very few plants bear white flowers. No intermediate colours are observed. If you are given a plant bearing purple flowers, how would you ascertain that it is a pure breed for that trait? Explain.

A cross between a tall plant (TT) and short pea plant (tt) resulted in progeny that were all tall plants because

A pea plant with blue colour flower denoted by BB is cross-bred with a pea plant with white flower denoted by WW. (i) What is the expected colour of the flowers in their F_(1) progeny? (ii) What will be the percentage of plants bearing white flower in F_(2) generation, when the flowers of F_(1) plants were selfed? (iii) State the expected ratio of the genotype BB and BW in the F_(2) progeny.
