Question
Suppose you are given two pairs of contrasting characters: Seed colour → yellow and green , seed coat → round and wrinkled.
Fill in the following table to show that F2 generation according to the principle of independant assortment as given by Mendel.
| Selfing among hybrids of F1 | RY | Ry | rY | ry |
| RY | ||||
| Ry | ||||
| rY | ||||
| Ry | ||||
| F2 generation |
Solution
| Selfing among hybrids of F1 | RY | Ry | rY | ry |
| RY | RRYY | RRYy | RrYY | RrYy |
| Ry | RRYy | RRyy | RrYy | Rryy |
| rY | RrYY | RrYy | rrYY | rrYy |
| ry | RrYy | Rryy | rrYy | rryy |
| F2 generation |
9: Round and yellow seeds |
3: Round and green seeds |
3: Wrinkled and yellow seeds |
