A tall true breeding garden pea plant is crossed with a dwarf true breeding garden pea plant. When the Fā plants were selfed, the resulting genotypes were in the ratio of
1 2 1 Tall homozygous Tall heterozygous Dwarf.
1 2 1 Tall heterozygous Tall homozygous Dwarf.
3 1 Tall Dwarf.
3 1 Dwarf Tall.
To solve this problem, we need to determine the genotypic ratio of the Fā generation when a tall true breeding garden pea plant is crossed with a dwarf true breeding garden pea plant.Let's break down the steps:A tall true breeding plant is homozygous dominant (TT), and a dwarf true breeding plant is homozygous recessive (tt).When these two plants are crossed, the Fā generation will all be heterozygous (Tt) and phenotypically tall.When the Fā plants (Tt) are selfed, the Fā generation will have the following genotypes: - TT (homozygous tall) - Tt (heterozygous tall) - tt (homozygous dwarf)The genotypic ratio of the Fā generation is:1 TT : 2 Tt : 1 ttThis corresponds to Option 1: 1 2 1 Tall homozygous Tall heterozygous Dwarf.However, the question asks for the phenotypic ratio, which is:3 Tall : 1 DwarfThis corresponds to Option 3: 3 1 Tall Dwarf.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3.
