Solution

The correct option is B $12 : 3 : 1$
Studied in Summer squash i.e. Cucurbita. Common fruit colors are white, yellow and green.
White is dominant over colored squash, Yellow is dominant over Green squash, Pure breeding white fruited variety is crossed with double recessive green.
A variety of F1 hybrids is all white. When the hybrids are white yellow and green fruited plants arise in the ratio of 12:3:1
Thus the correct answer is the ratio of 12:3:1.
The correct option is B.

Q. Explain inheritance of fruit colour in Cucurbita pepo.

Re-arrange suitably and find the sum in each of the following :

(i) $\frac{11}{12} + \frac{- 17}{3} + \frac{11}{2} + \frac{- 25}{2}$

(ii) $\frac{- 6}{7} + \frac{- 5}{6} + \frac{- 4}{9} + \frac{- 15}{7}$

(iii) $\frac{3}{5} + \frac{7}{3} + \frac{9}{5} + \frac{- 13}{15} + \frac{- 7}{3}$

(iv) $\frac{4}{13} + \frac{- 5}{8} + \frac{- 8}{13} + \frac{9}{13}$

(v) $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{- 4}{5} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{5}$

(vi) $\frac{1}{8} + \frac{5}{12} + \frac{2}{7} + \frac{7}{12} + \frac{9}{7} + \frac{- 5}{16}$

Verify the following :

(i) $\frac{3}{7} \times (\frac{5}{6} + \frac{12}{13}) = (\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{5}{6}) + (\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{12}{13})$
(ii) $\frac{- 15}{4} \times (\frac{3}{7} + \frac{- 12}{5}) = (\frac{- 15}{4} \times \frac{3}{7}) + (\frac{- 15}{4} \times \frac{- 12}{5})$
(iii) $(\frac{- 8}{3} + \frac{- 13}{12}) \times \frac{5}{6} = (\frac{- 8}{3} \times \frac{5}{6}) + (\frac{- 13}{12} \times \frac{5}{6})$
(iv) $\frac{- 16}{7} \times (\frac{- 8}{9} + \frac{- 7}{6}) = (\frac{- 16}{7} \times \frac{- 8}{9}) + (\frac{- 16}{7} \times \frac{- 7}{6})$

Verify each of the following :

(i) $\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{- 5}{9} = \frac{- 5}{9} \times \frac{3}{7}$

(ii) $\frac{- 8}{7} \times \frac{13}{9} = \frac{13}{9} \times \frac{- 8}{7}$

(iii) $\frac{- 12}{5} \times \frac{7}{- 36} = \frac{7}{- 36} \times \frac{- 12}{5}$

(iv) $- 8 \times \frac{- 13}{12} = \frac{- 13}{12} \times (- 8)$

Fill in the blanks.

(i) $(\frac{- 3}{17}) + (\frac{- 12}{5}) = (\frac{- 12}{5}) + (. . . . .)$

(ii) $- 9 + \frac{- 21}{8} = (. . . . . .) + (- 9)$

(iii) $(\frac{- 8}{13} + \frac{3}{7}) + (\frac{- 13}{4}) = (. . . . . .) + [\frac{3}{7} + (\frac{- 13}{4})]$

(iv) $- 12 + (\frac{7}{12} + \frac{- 9}{11}) = (- 12 + \frac{7}{12}) + (. . . . .)$

(v) $\frac{19}{- 5} + (\frac{- 3}{11} + \frac{- 7}{8}) = {\frac{19}{- 5} + (. . . . .)} + \frac{- 7}{8}$

(vi) $\frac{- 16}{7} + . . . . . = . . . . . . + \frac{- 16}{7} = \frac{- 16}{7}$
