Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $Mirabilis 	ext{ } jalapa$, the inheritance of flower color shows incomplete dominance. $1$. The cross between red $(RR)$ and white $(rr)$ produces pink $(Rr)$ flowers in the $F_1$ generation. $2$. Selfing the $F_1$ generation $(Rr 	imes Rr)$ results in an $F_2$ phenotypic ratio of $1$ Red $(RR)$ : $2$ Pink $(Rr)$ : $1$ White $(rr)$. $3$. Given a total of $120$ plants, the distribution is: - Red $(RR)$: $1/4 	imes 120 = 30$ - Pink $(Rr)$: $2/4 	imes 120 = 60$ - White $(rr)$: $1/4 	imes 120 = 30$ $4$. The intermediate color (pink) plants are $60$, and white plants are $30$. However, looking at the options provided, the question implies grouping the red and pink as 'colored' or 'intermediate'. Based on standard Mendelian ratios for incomplete dominance, $3/4$ of the population ($90$ plants) will show some color (Red + Pink) and $1/4$ ($30$ plants) will be white.

$A$ white-flowered Mirabilis plant $(rr)$ is crossed with a red-flowered plant $(RR)$. If $120$ plants are produced in the $F_2$ generation, what will be the result?
