Hi,

I am having trouble with this question. I'm not sure why it was wrong. Please show your work, so I can correct my thinking.

I appreciate your help!

Problem 3.14 Mendel crossed peas with round, green seeds with peas having wrinkled, yellow seeds. All F1 plants had seeds that were round and yellow Part A Predict the results of testcrossing these F1 plants. O 1/4 round, yellow; 1/4 round, green; 1/4 wrinkled, yellow; 1/4 wrinkled, green O1/2 round, yellow: 1/2 wrinkled, green 9/16 round, yellow, 3/16 round, green; 3/16 wrinkled, yellow; 1/16 wrinkled, green 34 round, yellow; 1/4 wrinkled, green Submit My Answers Give Up Incorrect, One attempt remaining; Try Again

Explanation / Answer

Consider the genotype of round, green peas is RRyy, and genotype of wrinkled yellow peas is, rrYY. The genotype of F1 resulting from the cross between these two will be, 100% RrYy (round, yellow).

Cross beteween two RrYy results in the offspring with the phenotypes, 9/16 round, yellow, 3/16 round, green, 3/16 wrinkled yellow, 1/16 wrinkled, green.

Thus, the correct option is (c).
