In Mendel's experiments with garden pea, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), yellow cotyledon (YY) was dominant over green cotyledon (yy). What are the expected phenotypes in the $\mathrm{F}_2$ generation the cross RRYY $\times$ rryy?
  1. round seeds with yellow cotyledons, and wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons
  2. only round seeds with green cotyledons
  3. only wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons
  4. only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons

Solution

When a cross (dihybrid) is made between plants bearing round yellow (RRYY) and wrinkled green (rryy) seeds, all the plants in $\mathrm{F}_1$. (Ref. to Fig. 26.1)
