Chapter 3, Problem 3NST
Using the forked-line, or branch diagram, method, determine the genotypic and
HINT: This problem asks you to use the forked-line method to determine the outcome of a number of trihybrid crosses. The key to its solution is to realize that in using the forked-line method, you must consider each gene pair separately. For example, in this problem, first predict the outcome of each cross for the A/a genes, then for the B/b genes, and finally, for the C/c genes. Then you are prepared to pursue the outcome of each cross using the forked-line method.

What are the expected phenotypic ratios from the following cross:Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr YY Aa, where T = tall, t = dwarf, R = round,r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green, A = axial, a = terminal; T, R,Y, and A are dominant alleles. Note: Consider using the multiplication method in answering this problem
