Answer
(i) Below is the Punnett square board showing the gametes and offspring when both the parents have heterozygous round seeds:
R | r | |
R | RR | rR |
r | Rr | rr |
(ii) Phenotype and Genotype ratios of the offsprings in F2 generation are: Phenotype Ratio — 3 : 1
Genotype Ratio — 1 : 2 : 1
(iii) Sex chromosomes in human males and females are:
Males — XY
Females — XX
(iv) Mutation — Mutation is a sudden change in one or more genes, or in the number or in the structure of chromosomes. Mutation alters the hereditary material of an organism's cells and results in a change in certain characters or traits in an entire population and such changes can persist for years.
(v) Human gametes have 23 chromosomes.
