Solution

The correct option is B 100
The self pollination of a dihybrid plant yields the genotypic ratio of 1 TTRR : 2 TTRr : 1 TTrr : 2 TtRR : 4TtRr : 2 Ttrr : 1ttRR : 2 ttRr : 1 ttrr. The ratio of genotype TtRr is 4/16. Hence, out of total 400 phenotypes, number of seeds having TtRr genotype will be 4/16x400 = 100. Option "B" is correct.

F1 generation : TtRr x TtRr
