Question

Assume that in peas the gene for pink flowers (P) is incompletely dominant over the gene for white flowers (p). What would be the result of crossing two app plants? A) 1/4 would be pink, 1/2 intermediate in color, 1/4 white B) 1/2 would be pink, 1/4 intermediate, 1/4 white C) 100% intermediate in color or D) 1/4 pink, 1/4 intermediate, 1/2 white. Assume that in peas the gene for pink flowers (P) is incompletely dominant over the gene for white flowers (p). What would be the result of crossing two app plants? A) 1/4 would be pink, 1/2 intermediate in color, 1/4 white B) 1/2 would be pink, 1/4 intermediate, 1/4 white C) 100% intermediate in color or D) 1/4 pink, 1/4 intermediate, 1/2 white.

Explanation / Answer

Ans : A) 1/4 would be pink , 1/2 intermediate in color , 1/4 white

The Pp plant will have two kinds of gametes P and p.

So on crossing they will produce three kinds of offsprings PP , Pp , and pp , in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 1

So the phenotypic ratio will be 1 : 2 :1 for pink : intermediate : white
