Question:
In peas, the allele for tall plant {eq}\rm (T) {/eq} is dominant to the allele for short plants and the allele for purple flowers {eq}\rm (P) {/eq} is dominant to white flowers {eq}\rm (p) {/eq}. Write out the results of the following crosses and determine the phenotypic ratios for each:
(a) {eq}\rm TtPp \times TtPp {/eq}.
(b) {eq}\rm Ttpp \times ttpp {/eq}.
(c) {eq}\rm ttPp \times Ttpp {/eq}.
(d) {eq}\rm TTpp \times ttPP {/eq}.
9:3:3:1 ratio:
The 9:3:3:1 ratio is the combined phenotypic ratio of two genes that assort independently; it allows predicting the number of individuals of each phenotype expected from the cross between dihybrid individuals. This ratio emerges from the multiplication product of (3:1) X (3:1) = 9:3 plus 3:1.
