Question
7-8. Assume that white color is dominant over yellow color in squash. If pollen from
the anthers of a heterozygous white-fruited plant is placed on the pistil of a yellow-
fruited plant, show using ratios the genotypes and phenotypes you would expect the
seeds from this cross to produce.
Genotypes = 1/2 Ww 1/2 Ww = 1:1 ratio | Phenotypes = All white = 1:0 ratio
Genotypes = 1/2 WW 1/2 ww = 1:1 ratio | Phenotypes = 1/2 white 1/2 yellow =
1:1 ratio
Genotypes = 3/4 Ww 1/4 ww = 1:1 ratio | Phenotypes = 3/4 white 1/4 yellow =
1:1 ratio
Genotypes = 1/2 Ww 1/2 ww = 1:1 ratio | Phenotypes = 1/2 white 1/2 yellow =
1:1 ratio
