Question
What are the genotypes of offspring from a FF ff cross?

Transcribed Image Text:MONOHYBRID CROSSES
All offspring receive a dominant
allele, F, from one parent and a
recessive allele, f, from the other
parent. So all offspring-100
percent-have the heterozygous
genotype Ff. And 100 percent of
offspring have purple flowers.
From each parent, half of the
offspring receive a dominant al-
lele, F, and half receive a recessive
allele, f. Therefore, one-fourth of
the offspring have an FF genotype,
one-half are Ff, and one-fourth are
ff. In other words, the genotypic
ratio is 1:2:1 of FF:Ff:ff. Remember
that both FF and Ff genotypes have
a purple phenotype. The phenotypic
ratio is 3:1 of purple:white flowers.
All of the offspring receive a
recessive allele, f, from the homo-
zygous recessive parent. Half
receive a dominant allele, F, from
the heterozygous parent, and half
receive the recessive allele, f. The
resulting genotypic ratio is 1:1 of
Ff:ff. The phenotypic ratio is 1:1 of
purple:white.

Suppose that we had a purple-flowered pea plant but did not know its
genotype. It could be FF or Ff. We could figure out its genotype by cross-
ing the purple-flowered plant with a white-flowered plant. We know that
the white-flowered plant is ff, because it has the recessive phenotype. If the
purple-flowered plant is FF, the offspring will all be purple. If the purple-
flowered plant is Ff, half of the offspring will have purple flowers, and half
will have white flowers. Crossing a homozygous recessive organism with
an organism of unknown genotype is called a testcross.
