Question

When yellow round heterozygous pea plants are self fertilized, the frequency of occurrence of RrYY genotype among the offsprings is (A) 9/16 (B) 3/16 (C) 2/16 (D) 1/16

Yellow round heterozygous pea plant may be represented by genotype RrYy. On selfing such plants following results will be obtained. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/biology/6428e5a8354c839e679d1763fbd3dd7d-.png" /> Hence, total 16 genotypes will be obtained in the next generation out of which the frequency of occurrence of RrYY genotype is 2, as illustrated by the table above.
