A cross in plants is done between the parents CCDD and ccdd to create a dihybrid F1 plant. This F1 plant was subsequently test crossed to a ccdd plant and you find the the progeny as follows: 40% CD 40% cd 10% Cd 10% cD

Question
  1. A cross in plants is done between the parents CCDD and ccdd to create a dihybrid F1 plant. This F1 plant was subsequently test crossed to a ccdd plant and you find the the progeny as follows:

    40% CD

    40% cd

    10% Cd

    10% cD 

     
    1. If you did a similar experiment in which the parents were changed to ccDD and CCdd, what percentage of the test cross progeny would have the cd phenotype?

     

       

    40%

       

    80%

       

    10%

       

    20%
