Problem 5

In sesame plants, the one-pod condition (P ) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p ), and normal leaf (L ) is dominant to wrinkled leaf (l) . Pod type and leaf type are inherited independently. Determinine the genotypes for the two parents for all possible matings producing the following offspring:

a. 318 one-pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled

Parental genotypes: PPLl x PPLl or PpLl x PPLl

 

b. 323 three-pod normal, 106 three-pod wrinkled

Parental genotypes: ppLl x ppLl

 

c. 401 one-pod normal

Parental genotypes: PPLL x PpLL or PPLl x PPLL or PPLL x PpLl etc (nine possible genotypes).

 

d. 150 one-pod normal, 147 one-pod wrinkled, 51 three-pod normal, 48 three-pod wrinkled. (a 3: 3: 1: 1 ratio)

Parental genotypes: PpLl x Ppll (see below for details)
3 One-pod normal (PPLl , PpLl , PpLl)

3 One-pod wrinkled (PPll , Ppll , Ppll)

1 Three-pod normal (ppLl)

1 Three-pod wrinked (ppll)

 

e. 223 one-pod normal, 72 one-pod wrinkled, 76 three-pod normal, 27 three-pod wrinkled (a 9: 3: 3: 1 ratio)

Parental genotypes: PpLl x PpLl
