Solution

  • Dominant trait- Inflated pod shape P
  • Recessive trait- Constricted pod shape p
P PP x pp
P P p p (gametes produced)
F1 Pp x Pp (self-fertilization)
P p P p (gametes produced )

F2 P p
P PP Pp
p Pp pp

  • The phenotypic ratio for F2 is 3:1
where 3 is individuals showing the dominant trait and 1 is an individual showing recessive trait.
  • The genotypic ratio for F2 is 1:2:1
where 1 is the homozygous dominant individual, 2 is heterozygous dominant individual and 1 is a homozygous recessive individual.
