The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the genotypes of the two parent pea plants based on the given information about their phenotypes and the resulting progeny. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Traits**: - The traits mentioned are seed color (yellow vs. green) and seed shape (round vs. wrinkled). - Yellow (Y) is dominant over green (y), and round (R) is dominant over wrinkled (r). 2. **Determine the Phenotypes of Parents**: - The first parent is a yellow round seeded pea plant. Since yellow and round are dominant traits, this plant can be either homozygous dominant (YYRR) or heterozygous (YyRr). - The second parent is a green wrinkled seeded pea plant. Since both traits are recessive, its genotype must be homozygous recessive (yyrr). 3. **Perform the Cross**: - We will assume the first parent is heterozygous for both traits (YyRr) because the resulting progeny shows a 1:1:1:1 ratio, which indicates a test cross. - The cross is YyRr (yellow round) x yyrr (green wrinkled). 4. **Determine the Gametes**: - The gametes from the first parent (YyRr) can be YR, Yr, yR, and yr. - The gametes from the second parent (yyrr) can only be yr. 5. **Punnett Square Analysis**: - When we set up a Punnett square for this cross, we will have the following combinations: - YyRr (yellow round) - Yyrr (yellow wrinkled) - yyRr (green round) - yyrr (green wrinkled) 6. **Phenotypic Ratio**: - The resulting phenotypes from the cross will be: - 1 Yellow Round (YyRr) - 1 Yellow Wrinkled (Yyrr) - 1 Green Round (yyRr) - 1 Green Wrinkled (yyrr) - This results in a 1:1:1:1 ratio of phenotypes. 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the genotypes of the two parent plants are: - Yellow Round Seeded Pea Plant: **YyRr** - Green Wrinkled Seeded Pea Plant: **yyrr** ### Final Answer: - The genotype of the yellow round seeded pea plant is **YyRr**. - The genotype of the green wrinkled seeded pea plant is **yyrr**.
