    Monohybrid Problem Solving

    The document contains solved problems on monohybrid and dihybrid crosses in pea plants. In a monohybrid cross between a homozygous tall pea plant and homozygous dwarf pea plant, the F1 progeny will be heterozygous tall and the F2 progeny will produce tall and dwarf plants in a 3:1 ratio. In dihybrid crosses involving two traits like seed color and shape, a 9:3:3:1 ratio is obtained if the F1 hybrids are selfed. Backcrosses of F1 hybrids can produce ratios of 3:1 or 1:1 depending on whether the backcross is done with the dominant or recessive parent.

    Q.1.

    What will be the appearance of (a) F1 and (b)


    F2 progenies when a pure (homozygous) tall pea plant
    is crossed with a pure (homozygous) dwarf pea plant?
    Tallness (T) gene is dominant over dwarfness (t) gene.
    Solution:
    Pure (homozygous) tall pea plant = TT
    Pure (homozygous) dwarf pea plant = tt
    (a) Parents:

    Thus, the off-springs of F1 generation will be heterozygous tall.


    (b) Here the F1 hybrids, i.e., heterozygous tall (Tt) are
    self-pollinated which may result into following
    possibilities:

    Therefore, 3 plants will be tall and one plant will be dwarf in


    F2 generation showing a ratio of 3: 1.
    Results:
    (a) The result of F1 would be the production of heterozygous
    tall (Tt).
    (b) The result of F2 would be the production of tall and dwarf
    in a ratio of 3: 1. Out of 3 tall plants one would be pure
    (homozygous) tall (TT) and two would be heterozygous tall
    (Tt). The dwarf would be a pure homozygous dwarf (tt).
    Q.2. When a plant homozygous for tall is crossed with
    a plant homozygous for dwarf, what will be the
    appearance of the offsprings of a cross of F1 with its
    tall parent.
    Solution:
    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    When a plant homozygous for tall (TD is crossed with a plant


    homozygous for dwarf (tt) the off-springs in the F1 will be the
    production of heterozygous tall (Tt).
    Now such a heterozygous tall (Tt), when back-crossed
    with its tall parent (TT), will show the following
    results:

    Result:
    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    In such a case all the parents will be tall.


    Q.3. When a plant homozygous for tall is crossed with
    a plant homozygous for dwarf, what will be the
    appearance of the off-springs of a cross of F1 with its
    dwart parent?
    Solution:
    When a plant homozygous for tall (TT) is crossed with a plant
    homozygous for dwarf (tt), the off-springs in the F1 will be
    heterozygous tall (Tt).
    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    When such heterozygous tall (Tt) is back crossed with


    dwarf parent (tt) the following will be the result:

    Result:
    In such cases the result would be the production of tall and
    dwarf in a ratio of 1: 1.
    ADVERTISEMENTS:

    Q.4. Work out for the genotypes of the parents of the


    cross between a tall and a dwarf pea plant which
    result into about one half of the tall and one half of
    dwarf off-springs.
    Solution:
    Because the ratio is 1: 1, so it is a test cross between a pure
    dwarf (tt) and a heterozygous tall (Tt).
    The genotypes may also be shown as follows:
    Heterozygous tall (Tt) will form the gemetes T and t.
    Pure dwarf (tt) will form the gemetes t and t.

    Q.5. Work out the probabilities of the off-springs in a


    case when heterozygous tall hybrids of F1 generation
    are self-fertilized.
    Solution:
    Heterozygous tall hybrids are represented as Tt. Heterozygous
    tall (Tt)

    Result:
    A ratio of 3 (tall): 1 (dwarf) will be resulted. So tall off-springs
    will be more in number.
    Q.6. What will be the result in F1 generation when a
    homozygous white male rabbit is crossed with a
    homozygous black female rabbit?
    Also work out the back cross.
    Q.7. How can we produce such seeds which, when
    sown, yield pink-coloured Four O’ clock plants?
    Solution:
    Pink coloured Pour O’ clock plants are generally the
    hybrids and can be produced by crossing the
    homozygous red flowered plants with homozygous
    white flowered plants as under:
    Q.8. What type of the gametes and flower colours of
    the off-springs would be produced in the following
    crosses?

    Result:
    A ratio of 1 (Red): 2 (Pink): 1 (White) will be produced.
    Q.9. What type of gametes and the flower colours of
    the off-springs would be produced in the following
    cross?
    Q.10. What type of garnets and flower colours of the
    off-springs would be produced in the following cross:

    Di-hybrid Cross Exercises:


    Q.11. What will be the result of selfing the
    F1 generation in a cross when round and yellow
    seeded pea plants (YYRR) are crossed with green and
    wrinkled (yyrr) seeded pea plant?
    The result will be yellow round (9), yellow wrinkled (3), green
    round (3) and green wrinkled (1). So it shows the ratio of 9: 3:
    3: 1.
    Q.12. When round and yellow seeded pea plants
    (YYRR) are crossed with green wrinkled (y y r r)
    seeded pea plants the F1 are yellow and round seeded
    plants (Yy Rr).
    What will be the results when this F1 is crossed with
    round and yellow seeded parents?
    Solution:
    Following results may be obtained when F1 (YyRr) are crossed
    with pure yellow and round seeded parent (YYRR).
    Q.13. When round and yellow seeded pea plants
    (YYRR) are crossed with green and wrinkled (yyrr)
    seeded pea plants the F1 are yellow and round seeded
    plants (YyRr).
    What will be the results when this F1 is crossed with
    green and wrinkled seeded (yyrr) parents?
    Solution:
    Following results will be obtained when F1 (YyRr) are
    crossed with green and wrinkled seeded (yyrr)
    parents:

    Q.14. Find out the phenotypic appearance of the


    off-springs of the following cross, in which the
    genotypes of the parents are given:
    yyRr X Yyrr
    Solution:
    It is an exercise of dihybrid ratio. It is based on the facts that
    yellow colour is dominant over green character, and the
    roundness is dominant over wrinkledness.
    Q.15. Find out the phenotypic appearance of the
    off-springs of the following cross, in which the
    genotypes of the parents are given:

    Result:
    A phenotypic ratio of 3 (yellow round): 3 (yellow wrinkled): 1
    (green round): 1 (green wrinkled) will be produced.
    Q.16. Find out the phenotypic value of the offspring of
    the following cross, in which the genotypes of the
    parents are given:
