The correct option is A 9:3:3:1 Using Punnet square method we get: GemetesTPTptPtpTPTTPPTTPpTtPPTtPp(tallandpurple)(tallandpurple)(tallandpurple)(tallandpurple)TpTTPpTTppTtPpTtpp(tallandpurple)(Tallandwhite)(tallandpurple)(Tallandwhite)tPTtPPTtPpttPPttPp(tallandpurple)(tallandpurple)(dwarfandpurple)(dwarfandpurple)tpTtPpTtppttPpttpp(tallandpurple)(Tallandwhite)(dwarfandpurple)(dwarfandwhite) Four types of phenotypes are obtained: Tall and Purple; Tall and white; Dwarf and purple and Dwarf and white. The phenotypic ratio obtained is 9:3:3:1.
