Solution

The correct option is C Green coloured pod is dominant.
Mendel chose seven pairs of contrasting traits, namely plant height, flower position, pod colour, pod shape, seed colour, seed shape and flower colour. The axial position was dominant to terminal flower position; green pod colour was dominant to yellow, tall plant was dominant to dwarf one and inflated pod was dominant to constricted one. Correct answer is C.

Q. The punnett square shown below represents the pattern of inheritance in dihybrid cross where a plant, true breeding for tallness and green pods is crossed to a plant which is dwarf and yields yellow pods. Assuming that the dominant and recessive allele for tallness and dwarfness is T and t respectively and the dominant and recessive allele for yielding green pods and yellow pods is G and g respectively, study the F1 self cross given below:-

\begin{matrix} Gametes & TG & Tg & tG & tg TG & F & J & N & R Tg & G & K & O & S tG & H & L & P & T tg & I & M & Q & U \end{matrix}
