Question

A pea plant that is homozygous for inflated pods and heterozygous for round seeds is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for inflated pods and homozygous for wrinkled seeds. This cross would produce a 4:12, or 1:3, phenotypic ratio. True or False?

Answer 1

The correct answer of the given question above would be FALSE. It is not true that if a pea plant that is homozygous for inflated pods and heterozygous for round seeds is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for inflated pods and homozygous for wrinkled seed, this cross would produce a 4:12, or 1:3, phenotypic ratio.
