A Mendelian experiment considered of breeding tall pea plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny all bore violet flowers. But ahnost half of them were short. This suggests that the genetic makeup of the tall parent can be depicted as

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

In a cross between plants with purple flowers and plants with white flowers the offsprings of F_(1) generation all had white flowers. When the F_(1) generation was self-crossed, it was observed in the F_(2) generation that out of 100, 75 flowers were white. Make a cross and answer the following : (i) What are the genotypes of the F_(2) progeny? (ii) What is the ratio of 'White : Purple' flowers in the F_(2) generation?

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.
