Round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (r). A heterozygous plant with round seeds is crossed to a true-breeding (homozygous) plant with wrinkled seeds. What is the phenotype of the F1 progeny?
Added by Victoria B.
Step 1
The heterozygous plant with round seeds can be represented as Rr, and the true-breeding plant with wrinkled seeds is homozygous recessive rr. Show more…

If an F1 plant "Rr" is backcrossed to the parent with round seeds, what proportion of the progeny will have wrinkled seeds? (Note: Round seed phenotype is dominant over wrinkled seed)
Adi S.
Round seeds R are dominant to wrinkled seeds r. The genotype for the parent would be ____; the genotype for the gamete would be ____. A.) Rr / Rr B.) r / Rr C.) r / r D.) Rr / r
Keemin L.
In garden peas, the genotypes $G$ G or Gg produce green pods and gg produces yellow pods; LeLe or Lele plants are tall and lele plants are dwarfed; $R R$ or $R r$ produce round seeds and $r r$ produces wrinkled seeds. If a plant of a true-breeding, tall variety with green pods and round seeds is crossed with a plant of a truebreeding, dwarf variety with yellow pods and wrinkled seeds, what phenotypes are expected, and in what ratios, in the $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ generation? What phenotypes, and in what ratios, are expected if $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ individuals are crossed (allowed to self-fertilize)?
