A tall pea plant bearing violet flowers is crossed with a tall pea plant bearing white flowers. In the F1 progeny, there were tall pea plants with white flowers, tall pea plants with violet flowers, dwarf pea plants with violet flowers and dwarf pea plants with white flowers. Work out the cross to show how is it possible.


Parent genotype: TtVv and Ttvv


• In case of TtVv the gametes formed would be: TV, Tv, tV and tv


• In case of Ttvv, the gametes formed would be: Tv and tv


The possible cross would be:



TTvv: Tall plant with white flowers.


TtVv: Tall plant with violet flowers.


ttVv: Short plant with violet flowers.


Ttvv: Short plant with white flowers.
