Question

Radishes may be long, round, or oval, and they may be
red, white, or purple. You cross a long, white variety with
a round, red one and obtain an oval, purple F1. The
F2 shows nine phenotypic classes as follows: 9 long, red;
15 long, purple; 19 oval, red; 32 oval, purple; 8 long,
white; 16 round, purple; 8 round, white; 16 oval, white;
and 9 round, red.
a. Provide a genetic explanation of these results. Be
sure to define the genotypes and show the constitution
of the parents, the F1, and the F2.
b. Predict the genotypic and phenotypic proportions
in the progeny of a cross between a long, purple radish
and an oval, purple one.
