(2) heterozygous and green

(3) homozygous and yellow

(4) homozygous and green

(3) all daughter will be colourblind

(4) half sons will be colourblind

In a plant, red fruit (R) dominant over yellow fruit (r) and tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t). If a plant with RRTT genotype is crossed with a plant that is rrtt. Then

(2) 50% will be tall with red fruit

(3) 75% will be tall with red fruit

(4) All of the offspring will be tall with red fruits
