Phenotype is the appearance of one organism while genotype is the gene complement it has from its ancestors. These genes only show their effect in phenotype but environment also plays an important role in this. Hence phenotype is a result of genotype and environmental interaction.

A cross of F1 hybrid with its recessive homozygous parent is called the test cross. It is done to determine the genotype of a given plant. If the given plant has homozygous dominant traits then on test cross it gives all dominant trait plants but if it is heterozygous dominant than it gives dominant and recessive phenotypes in 1: 1 ratio.

- In Mendel’s experiment with garden pea, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), yellow cotyledon (YY) was dominant over green cotyledon (yy). What are the expected phenotypes in the F2 generation of the cross RRYY × rryy?

So the ratio of round seeded with yellow cotyledons: Round seeded green cotyledons: Wrinkled seeded yellow cotyledons: Wrinkle seeded green cotyledons in 9: 3: 3: 1. So in the F2 generation the round seeded character remains with yellow cotyledons & wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons.Correct Option: C

Polygenic inheritance is the inheritance of traits which are dependent on the no. of genes such as the skin colour of human beings. eg. AABB is black AaBB in neither dark nor black. AaBb is again wheatish Aabb is light and aabb is white colour.
