Solution

The correct option is D 1/4 ZZ : 1/2 Zz : 1/4 zz
Gametes Z z
Z ZZ Zz
zZz zz
When two heterozygous individuals (Zz crossed with Zz) are crossed then two types of gametes are formed (Z, z). The individuals in the F2 generation will be ZZ (1/4 i.e homozygous dominant) and Zz (2/4 i.e heterozygous ) and zz (1/4 i.e homozygous recessive). Thus the correct answer is option D.
