Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Axial flowers are dominant over terminal flowers. What is the phenotypic ratio for the following cross?Aa X aa
A
4:0
B
3:1
C
2:2
D
1:3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The genotype of F1 generation plants is Aa. ii iii From the above cross 3 plants with axial flowers Aa and 1 plant with terminal flower aa is produced. So phenotypic ratio is 3 : 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -When Aa is crossed with Aa then the gametes A, a, A and a generate new offsprings as AA, Aa, Aa, and aa, therefore 3 axial flowers and 1 terminal flower will be generated.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a homozygous pea plant, axial flowers (A) are dominant over terminal flowers (a).
