Question
The following results were obtained by a scientist who crossed the F1 generation of pure-breeding parents for round and wrinkled seeds.
| Dominant trait | Recessive trait | No. of F2 offspring |
| Round seeds | Wrinkled seeds | 7524 |
From these results, it can be concluded that the actual number of round seeds he obtained was ______
Options
1881
22572
2508
5643
Solution
5643
Explanation:
The round and wrinkled seeds will be obtained in the ratio of 3:1.
The number of round seeds obtained will be `(7524 xx 3)/4= 5643`.
