A horticulturalist wants to produce geraniums with specific characteristics.

She knows that the trait of red flowers is governed by the allele R (RR and Rr) and the trait of white flowers is governed by the allele r(rr).

The horticulturalist crosses two geraniums from the F1 generation.

Look at the Punnett square to see this cross.

R r
R RR Rr
r Rr rr


Which ratio of red-to-white flowering plants would she expect to see in the phenotypes of the F2 generation?

all red

3 red : 1 white

1 red : 3 white

2 red : 2 white

Respuesta :

Yo,

In Geranium plant life red vegetation is given by using the allele R this is dominant (so RR or Rr ) genotype will produce crimson plant life.

If we communicate approximately the connected punnet square which i took from the workout e book, you could see that there was a cross made among vegetation with heterozygous genotype for red flora.

P1: Rr X Rr

Gametes: R: r : R : r

F1: RR: Rr: Rr: rr

so there is three: 1 in F1 offspring for red to white plant life.

Now the query is set f2 technology, while we cross F1 generation suppose we do a move of Rr and rr from F1 generations allow us to see what takes place.

F1: Rr: rr

Gametes: R: r: r: R

F2 : Rr : rr: Rr: rr

Rr: purple flowers

rr: White flora:

So the ratio in F2 era might be 2 crimson : 2 white. Please see connected punnet squares (first one for query) and the second of F1 move for better know-how.

I'm hoping that this will benefit you, so from my assumption and study it'd be 2 crimson : 2 white, if this is indeed the one i'm thinking of since nothing else was provided, if not please correct me.
