DRAW IT Two pea plants heterozygous for the characters of pod color and pod shape are crossed. Draw a Punnett square to determine the
To draw:
The Punnett square to determine the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
Introduction:
Punnett square is a tabular representation of the cross between the two species. It helps in determining the outcome of a particular cross and can help in estimating the genotypic as well as the phenotypic ratio.
Explanation of Solution
Pictorial representation: Punnett square depicting the dihybrid cross between the two pea plants are as follows:
Parental traits: Pod Colour: Dominant yellow (Y); recessive green (y)
Pod Shape: Dominant round (R); recessive wrinkled (r)
Fig.: 1 Punnett square depicting the dihybrid cross between the two pea plants of different characters.
The Punnett square is the diagrammatic representation to predict the outcome (phenotype and genotype) of the breeding experiment. In the given cross, pea plants that have two distinct characters are chosen, where one has round and yellow pods and the other one has wrinkled and green pods.
The cross provides a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 in a total of 16 outcomes. This means that there will be 4 different types of outcomes, namely round and yellow, round and green, wrinkled and yellow, and wrinkled and green. The genotypic ratio of the cross is 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1, which means that there are 9 different types of genotype in this dihybrid cross.

- Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?arrow_forwardIn snapdragons, red flower color is incompletely dominant over white. Cross 2 heterozygous pink flowers. What is the phenotypic ratio?arrow_forwardConsider this cross in pea plants: Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr Yy Aa, whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round, r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green,A = axial, a = terminal. What is the expected phenotypic outcomeof this cross? Have one group of students solve this problem bymaking one big Punnett square, and have another group solve it bymaking four single-gene Punnett squares and using the multiplication method. Time each other to see who gets done first.arrow_forward

- The diagram shows a plant that is heterozygous for two genes. G = yellow; g = green; R = round; r = wrinkled G Four different types of gametes are produced by a heterozygous individual when crossing over occurs, and two different types of gametes are produced when crossing over does not occur. What does this information reveal about crossng over? O Crossing over introduces variety by producing different combinations of alleles. O Crossing over reduces the incidence of DNA and chromosomal mutations. O Crossing over introduces variety in by creating types of genes. O Crossing over maintains the count of genes and the original alleles in both chromosomes.
