Q7(b):
When a cross in made between tall plant with yellow seeds (\(TtYy\)) and tall plant with green seed (\(Ttyy\)), what proportions of phenotype in the offspring could be expected to be
(b) dwarf and green.
Solution :
Step 1: Identifying Parental Genotypes and Gametic Potential
The cross involves two dihybrid parents:
- Parent 1: Tall with yellow seeds ($TtYy$)
- Parent 2: Tall with green seeds ($Ttyy$)
Gametes produced by Parent 1 ($TtYy$): The possible combinations are $TY$, $Ty$, $tY$, and $ty$. Each occurs with a probability of $0.25$.
Gametes produced by Parent 2 ($Ttyy$): Since the plant is homozygous recessive for color, the only allele for color is $y$. The possible combinations are $Ty$ and $ty$. Each occurs with a probability of $0.5$.
Step 2: Punnett Square Construction for Phenotypic Probability
| Gametes | $Ty$ ($0.5$) | $ty$ ($0.5$) |
|---|---|---|
| $TY$ ($0.25$) | $TtYy$ (Tall, Yellow) | $TtYy$ (Tall, Yellow) |
| $Ty$ ($0.25$) | $Ttyy$ (Tall, Green) | $Ttyy$ (Tall, Green) |
| $tY$ ($0.25$) | $ttYy$ (Dwarf, Yellow) | $ttYy$ (Dwarf, Yellow) |
| $ty$ ($0.25$) | $ttyy$ (Dwarf, Green) | $ttyy$ (Dwarf, Green) |
Step 3: Calculating the Proportion of Dwarf and Green Offspring
The phenotype "dwarf and green" requires the homozygous recessive genotype ($ttyy$). From the Punnett Square calculation:
Mathematical derivation:
- Probability of $tt$ (dwarf) from $Tt \times Tt$: $1/4$
- Probability of $yy$ (green) from $Yy \times yy$: $1/2$
- Combined probability (Product Rule of Probability): $P(tt) \times P(yy) = 1/4 \times 1/2 = 1/8$
Visual Representation of Genetic Segregation
Final Solution: The proportion of offspring expected to be dwarf and green is $1/8$ (or $0.125$, which is $12.5\%$).

Education can not be forced onto a student. Teaching, more than imparting knowledge, is inspiring a change. Learning, more than just reading or memorising facts, is gaining knowledge or acquiring skills by studying. My way of teaching is conceptual, analytical, simplified and problem solving. Having worked as HOD for engineering college, I also counsel students in the areas of career development and motivation towards achieving their goals. I mentored several students to achieve good results in academic and competitive exams. I worked as a professor of Physics for Engineering college for 30 years and now taking online classes since 2018. I can teach Physics and Chemistry for 10th, 11th, 12th, UG and physics for all. Currently taking online tuitions for US, Canada and Indian students in Physics and Organic chemistry My students from US are from Heritage High School, Frisco, Texas;University of Dallas, Texas, University of Wisconsin, and Simon Fraser University, B. C. Canada.
Dr Mamatha is an extremely patient and diligent teacher. She broke down each concept in simple terms and helped me understand it in the easiest way possible. She was always willing to teach me again in case I stumbled or faced difficulty in any concept. I really started to understand physics beyond the textbook and approach the concepts in an informed way, after taking classes with her!
