Pure-bred round-yellow pea seeds have genotype RRYY and the pure-bred wrinkled-green pea seeds have genotype rryy. Keeping this in mind, write the phenotypes of the following genotypes of hybrid pea seeds:(a) Rryy (b) rrYy (c) rrYY (d) RrYy (e) RRyy
When Pure-bred round-yellow pea seeds have genotype RRYY and the pure-bred wrinkled-green pea seeds have genotype rryy, then phenotypes of
(a) Rryy = Round - green pea seeds
(b) rrYy = Wrinkled - yellow pea seeds
(c) rrYY = Wrinkled - yellow pea seeds
(d) RrYy = Round - yellow pea seeds
(e) RRyy = Round - green pea seeds
[Extra information:
R - Round shape gene is dominant over r - wrinkled shape gene;
Y - yellow colour gene is dominant over y - green colour gene. Thus R and Y expresses itself and does not allow r and y to express unless recessive genes are present in homozygous form.]
