Question

1. Assume that white color is dominant over yellow color in squash. If pollen from the anthers of a

heterozygous white-fruited plant is placed on the pistil of a yellow-fruited plant, show, using ratios, the
genotypes and phenotypes you would expect the seeds from this cross to produce​

Answer 1

1 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the allele for white color is ‘W’ (Capital- W) and that for yellow color is ‘y’ (small-y), then the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the f1 generation will be 50% : 50% which is 1: 1 as shown in the punnet square below:
