Using a Punnett Square, work out the distribution of phenotypic features in the first filial generation after a cross between a homozygous female and a heterozygous male for a single locus.
(b) Reciprocal cross. These crosses involve the crosses concerning the same characters but with reversed sexes. It means if in a cross, A is used as female parent and B as a male parent, then in 2nd cross or reciprocal cross A will be used as male parent and B as female parent. Reciprocal cross is generally used to dtermine the contribution of sexes in inheritance pattern.
When a cross is made between tall plant with yellow seeds (TtYy) and tall plant with green seeds (Ttyy), what proportions of phenotype in the offspring could be expected to be
(a) tall and green
(b) dwarf and green ?
