Question
You are given a pea that produces round, yellow seeds (both dominant traits), but its genotype is
unknown. You conduct a testcross to determine the genotype at both loci, and find that the offspring
have the following ratios of phenotypes:
% round, yellow, % round, green, ¼ wrinkled, yellow, % wrinkled, green
1. What are all the possible genotypes of a round, yellow pea? Assume shape is controlled by the R
locus, and color is controlled by the Y locus.
2. Break this down to the single gene level by answering the following questions:
a. What is the proportion of round to wrinkled offspring?
b. What is the proportion of yellow to green offspring?
