Marks: +1, -0

In an experiment with pea plants, a pure tall plant (TT) is crossed with a pure short plant (tt). The ratio of pure tall plant to pure short plants in

F_2

, generation will be

$1: 3$
$1: 1$
$3: 1$
$2: 1$

Solution:

Explanation: Parent generation TT (pure tall)× tt(Pure dwarf)

Gametes T t

F_1

generation Tt (heterozygous tall)

F_2

generation

Gametes $\text{Tt} \rightarrow$ $\text{Tt} \leftarrow$	T	t
T	TT	tT
t	tT	TT

F_2

Genotypic ratio

=1

pure tall

(\text{TT}): 2

heterozygous tall

(\text{Tt}): 1

pure dwarf

(\text{tt})

; Thus, the ratio of pure tall to pure short plants will be

1: 1
