The following results were obtained by a scientist who crossed the F1 generation of pure-breeding parents for round and wrinkled seeds.Dominant trait Recessive trait No. of F2 offspringRound seeds Wrinkled seeds 7524From these results, it can be concluded that the actual number of round seeds he obtained was:(a) 1881 (b) 22572 (c) 2508 (d) 5643
During mono-hybrid cross (cross with single characteristics, the shape of seed), the ratio of round seeds to wrinkled seed in F2 generation is 3:1, that is out of 4 seeds, 3 seeds will be round and 1 will be wrinkled.
Thus, out of 7524 F2 generation offsprings, the number of round seeds will be calculated as follows:
Out of 4 seeds, 3 seeds are round.
Out of 7524, number of round seeds = (7524 X 3) / 4
= 5634.

- Mendel first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only round-yellow seeds were produced in the F1 generation. When F1 generation pea plants having round-yellow seeds were cross-bred by self pollination, then peas having round-yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled-yellow seeds and wrinkled-green seeds were produced. Mendel collected a total of 2160 seeds.(a) What will be the number of (i) round green seeds (ii) wrinkled green seeds (iii) round yellow seeds, and (iv) wrinkled-yellow seeds?
