Question
In corn, pigmented aleurone (R) is dominant to colorless aleurone (r), and
green plant color (G) is dominant to yellow (g). A plant that is
heterozygous for both characters is testcrossed to a homozygous
recessive for both genes (rrgg). The following progeny are produced:
Group
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
Phenotype
pigmented aleurone; green plant
pigmented aleurone; yellow
plant
colorless aleurone; green plant
colorless aleurone; yellow plant
Number
85
9
8
95
Based on the results of this cross, the parental classes of offspring are
groups [Select]
and the genotype of the
heterozygous plant was [Select]
