Important Questions on Inheritance

MEDIUM

A cross was performed between two parent plants of unknown genotypes. The offspring were segregated based on two flower characteristics i.e. flower colour [magenta (M) or white] and flower position [axillary (A) or terminal] and counted. The two genes responsible for these characters are not linked and segregate independently. Based on the information given in the table, predict the genotypes of the parents.

phenotype magenta and axillary magenta and terminal white and axillary white and terminal
number of offspring 615 198 605 211

In corn, the trait for a tall plant (T) is dominant to the trait for a dwarf plant (t) and the trait for coloured kernels (C) is dominant to the trait for white kernels (c). In a particular cross of corns, probability of white kernels is 0.25 and the probability of a kernel being coloured is 0.75. Which of the following most probably represents the parental genotypes?
