Question

Considering the Mendelian traits tall (D) versus dwarf (d) and violet (W) versus white (w), consider the crosses below and determine the genotypes of the parental plants by analyzing the phenotypes of the offspring. Part A Parental Plants Offspring tall, violet x tall, white 1/2 tall, white 1/2 tall, violet Select all that apply.

Answer 1

The genotypes of the parental plants for the cross tall, violet x tall, white are DdWw for the tall, violet plant, and Ddww for the tall, white plant. The offspring of this cross will be DdWw, Ddww, DdWw, and Ddww, respectively.
