Now, consider a brown colored maize plant is crossed with another maize plant producing the following offspring [Green color is dominant over brown color; follows Mendelian inheritance pattern] If these maize plants are crossed among themselves, what is the expected genotypic ratio of the offsprings? 3:1 1:1 1:2:1 1:1:1:1
Question
Now, consider a brown colored maize plant is crossed with another maize plant producing the following offspring [Green color is dominant over brown color; follows Mendelian inheritance pattern] If these maize plants are crossed among themselves, what is the expected genotypic ratio of the offsprings? 3:1 1:1 1:2:1 1:1:1:1
Solution
The question is asking about the expected genotypic ratio of the offspring when two maize plants are crossed. The color of the maize plant follows Mendelian inheritance pattern, where green color is dominant over brown color.
In Mendelian inheritance, the genotypic ratio of a monohybrid cross (cross between two heterozygous individuals) is typically 1:2:1. This means that the expected genotypic ratio of the offspring would be 1 (homozygous dominant): 2 (heterozygous): 1 (homozygous recessive).
So, the correct answer is 1:2:1.
