A tall true breeding garden pea plant is crossed with a dwarf true breeding garden pea plant. When the F1 plants were selfed the resulting genotypes were in the ratio of

  1. 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall homozygous : Tall heterozygous : Dwarf
  2. 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall heterozygous : Tall homozygous : Dwarf
  3. 3 : 1 :: Tall : Dwarf
  4. 3 : 1 :: Dwarf : Tall

Correct answer: 1 : 2 : 1 :: Tall homozygous : Tall heterozygous : Dwarf

Solution

True-breeding tall is TT and true-breeding dwarf is tt, so the F1 are all Tt. Selfing Tt × Tt gives genotypes TT, Tt, Tt, tt, which is a 1:2:1 ratio. That matches tall homozygous : tall heterozygous : dwarf.
