In the illustration above, the genotypes of the offsprings are

  • A.
    1 heterozygous smooth : 2 homozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled
  • B.
    1 homozygous smooth : 2 heterozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled
  • C.
    2 homozygous smooth : 2 wrinkled
  • D.
    3 heterozygous smooth : 2 wrinkled
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The diagram above refers to a PUNNETT SQUARE used in predicting the probable genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross. looking at the diagram, we have the ratio

SS : Ss : sS : ss and from the question, we see the genotypic composition is;

1 homozygous smooth : 2 heterozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled
