Variation of Traits - Environmental factors also affect expression of traits, and hence affect the probability of occurrences of traits in a population. Thus the variation and distribution of traits observed depends on both genetic and environmental factors.

If R and r alleles are for shape of seed in pea plant and the frequency of recessive allele is 30%. Then how much seed should have round shape out of 1000 seeds?

In maize, the trait for the purple kernel (P) is dominant over the yellow kernel (p). A plant with purple kernels is crossed with another plant with yellow kernels and produces 2 offspring with purple kernels and 2 offspring with yellow kernels. Identify the genotypic and phenotypic ratios obtained from the cross in (b).

In maize, the trait for the purple kernel (P) is dominant over the yellow kernel (p). A plant with purple kernels is crossed with another plant with yellow kernels and produces 2 offspring with purple kernels and 2 offspring with yellow kernels. What is the genotype of the parental maize plants?
