In a pea plants, green pod colour is dominant over yellow pods. 1000 seeds taken from a pea plant on germination produces 760 green pod and 240 yellow pod plants. The parental genotype and phenotype of the seed plant are

(2) heterozygous and green

(3) homozygous and yellow

(4) homozygous and green

(2) all sons will be colourblind

(3) all daughter will be colourblind

(4) half sons will be colourblind

In a plant, red fruit (R) dominant over yellow fruit (r) and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). If a plant with RRTT genotype is crossed with a plant that is rrtt. Then

(1) 25% will be tall with red fruit

(2) 50% will be tall with red fruit

(3) 75% will be tall with red fruit

(4) All of the offspring will be tall with red fruits
