Question
9-10. In watermelons, the genes for green color and short shape are dominant over
their alleles for striped color and for long shape. Suppose a plant with long striped
fruit is crossed with a plant heterozygous for both of these characters. What
phenotypes would this cross produce and in what ratios?
Phenotypes = 1/2 short/green 1/2 long/green= 1:1 ratio
Phenotypes = 1/4 short/green 1/4 short/striped 1/4 long/green 1/4
long/striped = 1:1:1:1 ratio
Phenotypes = 3/4 short/green 1/4 long/green = 3:1 ratio
Phenotypes = All short/green = 1:0 ratio
