Question
Two true-breeding pea plants are crossed. One parent is round, terminal, violet,
constricted, while the other expresses the contrasting phenotypes of wrinkled, axial,
white, full. The four pairs of contrasting traits are controlled by four genes, each
located on a separate chromosome. In the F₁ generation, only round, axial, violet,
and full are expressed. In the F₂ generation, all possible combinations of these traits
are expressed in ratios consistent with Mendelian inheritance.
a. What conclusion can you draw about the inheritance of these traits based
on the F₁ results?
b. Which phenotype appears most frequently in the F₂ results? Write a
mathematical expression that predicts the frequency of occurrence of this
phenotype.
c. Which F2 phenotype is expected to occur least frequently? Write a
mathematical expression that predicts this frequency.
d. How often is either P₁ phenotype likely to occur in the F₂ generation?
e. If the F₁ plant is testcrossed, how many different phenotypes will be
produced?
