find the progeny of f1 and f2 generation when an tall plant with red flowers is crossed with dwarf plant with white flowers

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

ok first have u done monohybrid crosses? have u done a punnet square anytime before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah.........

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

ok great...now can u assign genotype to each of d phenotype written?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

and have they given homozygous tall and red flowers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TR AND tr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

ok wait....see..generally a genotype is written wid 2 letters...FOR EG TT is homozygous dominant Tt is heterozygous tt is homozygoues recessive

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

wid me so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

cool...for now lets consider that both parents are homozygous....it having same type of letter(either capital or small) ok?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

u know dat wen we write capital letter its d dominant allele and small is recessive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

The principle of dominance. The gene for purple flowers is dominant, while the gene for white flowers is recessive. We know this because both flowers are homozygous, meaning their genes are the same. The genotype of Penelope (the purple flower) is PP, or purple purple. The genotype of Walter (the white flower) is pp, or white white. Because of this, if the gene for white petals was dominant, all the flower offspring would display white petals. If the genes were codominant, the flower offspring would be lavender, an even mix between the white and purple phenotypes. The Punnet square for this example (if you are a visual person) looks like this: ......................Walter ........................p | p ....................___ | ___ ................P | Pp | Pp | Penelope .....________ ................P | Pp | Pp | ...................|___|___ | You can clearly see that all the offspring are heterozygous, yet because they all share Penelope's phenotype, it is quite obvious that, again, the gene for purple flowers is dominant.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

cool...now tall is d dominant allele and dwarf is recessive....red is dominant and white recessive..ok?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

now can u tell me d genotype for homozygous tall plant?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

u there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TT

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

correct:D and similarly for red white and dwarf?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

RR rr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello,...............................

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can u teach m e tmrw evening i have to go now sorry bye..................... by the way wat college are u studying in

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

yes correct...now club in tall and red-TTRR dwarf and white-ttrr now we hv 2 make d gametes

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

ok sure...bye..:D

when will u sleep
