A plant is of $F_1$ generation with genotype "AABbCC". On selfing of this plant what is the phenotypic ratio in $\mathrm{F}_2$ generation?
  1. $3: 1$
  2. $1: 1$
  3. $9: 3: 3: 1$
  4. $27: 9: 9: 9: 3: 3: 3: 1$

Solution

The genotype of $F_1$ generation is AABbCC Number of gametes that are obtained by crossing can be obtained by formula $=2^n$ (where $n$ represents the number of heterozygous gametes) Thus, the number of heterozygous gametes $=2^1=2$ 2 gametes formed are: $\mathrm{ABC}$ and $\mathrm{AbC}$. On self crossing $F_1$ generation, the phenotypes that are formed in $\mathrm{F}_2$ generation are in the ratio of $3: 1$
