In Jimson weed the allele for violet petals V is dominant ov

In Jimson weed, the allele for violet petals (V) is dominant over the allele for white petals (v). The allele for prickly capsules (P) is dominant over the allele for smooth capsules (p). A plant with white petals and prickly capsules was crossed with one that had violet petals and smooth capsules. The F1 generation was... 47 white petals, prickly capsules 45 white petals, smooth capsules 50 violet petals, prickly capsules 46 violet petals, smooth capsules What were the genotypes of the parents?

Solution

Genotype of the parents will be

V v p p and v v Pp

Gametes from Vvpp will be Vp, vp

Gametes from vvPp will be vP and vp

When this gamete will undergoes hybridization they will form following daughters weed

VvPp, Vvpp, vvPp and vvpp in 1:1:1:1 ratio
