If you are given a tall pea plant, how would you find out its genotype? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The given tall pea plant is crossed with a recessive parent or a test cross will performed. Here, the tall character is a dominant which can be homozygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt). The offspring of the test cross will be 100% dominant, if the individual was homozygous. The ratio will be 50% dominant and 50% recessive in case of heterozygous individual.

In a monohybrid cross between tall pea plants (TT) and short pea plants (tt) a scientist obtained only tall pea plants (Tt) in the F_(1) generation. However, on selfing the F_(1) generation pea plants, he obtained both tall and short plants in F_(2) generation. On the basis of above observations with other angiosperms also, can the scientist arrive at a law? If yes, explain the law. If not, give justification for your answer.
