Question

In a typical Mendelian cross which is a dihybrid cross, one parent is homozygous for both dominant traits and another parent is homozygous for both recessive traits. In the F $_{2}$ generation, both parental combinations and recombinations appear. The phenotypic ratio of parental combinations to recombinations is

Solution

The correct option is B 10 : 6
Homozygous dominant parent: RRYY
Homozygous recessive parent: rryy
F $_{1}$ generation: RrYy
Selfing of F $_{1}$ (RrYy X RrYy)
From the Punnet square, it is clear that, the phenotypic ratio of parental combinations to recombinations is 10:6.
