Question

In a particular plant, two genes control height and flower color. tall height (t) is dominant to short height (t). yellow flowers (y) are dominant to white flowers (y). a tall, yellow flowered plant is mated with a short, white-flowered plant. what are the genotypes of the plants involved in this cross?

Answer 1

As in a given cross two genes control the height and flower color. Tall height (T) is dominant over the short height (t) and yellow flowers (Y) are dominant over the white flower (y).

When the tall yellow flowered mated with short white flowers, the genotype of the plants can be;

TTYY × ttyy or It can be TtYy × ttyy or TTYy × ttyy or TtYY × ttyy
