When tall Red plant is crossed with dwarf white plant, the F2 generation tall red and dwarf white will occur in the ratio of.
A
3:1
B
9:1
C
3:3
D
1:9
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘1:1:1:1’. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-2: -F1 Generation consists of only tall plants, while F2 generation has both tall and dwarf in the ratio of 3:1.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a tall and red-flowered plant is crossed with a dwarf and white-flowered plant, the phenotype in the progeny is dwarf and white.

Detailed explanation-4: -But when F1 generation plants were self-fertilized, it was found that some plants were dwarf (25%) some were tall (75%) in F2 generation.

Detailed explanation-5: -F2 Genotypic ratio =1 pure tall (TT) : 2 heterozygous tall (Tt) : 1 pure dwarf (tt); thus, the ratio of pure tall to pure short plants will be 1:1.
