The phenotypes and their phenotypic ratios of F 1 individuals (true-breeding varieties) if allowed to self–fertilize according to the data given. 1. GG and Gg produce green pods while gg produces yellow pods. 2. LeLe and LEle produce tall plants while lele produces dwarf plants. 3. RR and Rr produce round seeds while rr produces wrinkled seeds. Introduction: The phenotype is a set of characteristics that can be observed from outside and are the results of genomic level interaction with the environment. True-breeding varieties are the varieties that have purely homozygous conditions of all alleles. The homozygous condition can be defined in an organism as when all types of alleles present for a character are same, such as all dominant or all recessive alleles.

In peas, purple flowers are dominant to white. If a purple-flowered, heterozygous plant were crossed with a white-flowered plant, what is the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes among the F1F1offspring? If two of the purple-flowered F1F1 offspring were randomly selected and crossed, what is the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes among the F2F2 offspring?

Assume that smooth seed coats are dominant over rough seed coat. If two pea plants that are both Heterozygous for seed coats are crossed, what do you expect in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use S for the smooth seed coat and s for the rough seed coat.) (Again, it is helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.) Be careful in writing capital S and lower case.

Sunflowers with small flowers measuring 10 cm in diameter are crossed with plants that have large flowers with a diameter of 16cm. All offspring in the F1 generation have medium size flowers with 13 cm in diameter. When crossing two F1 generation flowers, the F2 generation shows 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 16 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. What size flower makes up the most common phenotypic class?
