Question

A tall violet flowered plant (TTVV) is crossed with a dwarf white flowered plant (ttvv). When the F1 plants are self-pollinated, a total of 1600 F2 plants are produced. How many plants of F2 generation are similar to the original parents in terms of both genotype and phenotype?

Solution

The correct option is D

200


This is a typical dihybrid cross. Both original parents are homozygous, so two different types of gametes will be formed- (TV) and (tv) respectively. The F1 progenies will be heterozygous with the genotype TtVv. Four different gametes are formed by the F1 plants- (TV), (Tv), (tV), (tv). The genotype of the F2 progenies are worked out using the Punnett square below


As shown here genotype ratio of the F2 generation is 1:1:2:2:4:2:2:1:1.
And 1 homozygous dominant (TTVV) and 1 homozygous recessive (ttvv) progenies are produced, which are the genotypes of the original parent plants. Therefore 116th of the 1600 F2 progenies are homozygous dominant (TTVV), that is 116×1600=100 and 116×1600=100 are homozygous recessive (ttvv). 100 + 100 = 200. Thus a total of 200 F2 progenies have the genotype of the original parents.
