In peas, tallness is dominate over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated with 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 four offspring types.

To solve the problem, we need to determine the genotypes of the two parent plants and the four types of offspring based on the phenotypic ratios provided. Here’s how we can approach this step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the Dominant and Recessive Traits - Tallness (T) is dominant over dwarfness (t). - Red flower color (R) is dominant over white flower color (r). ### Step 2: Determine the Genotype of the Parents 1. **Tall Plant with Red Flowers**: ...
