Question
Answer the following
In onion, male sterility is produced when the
nuclear genotype is aa and the mitochondrial
gene S (sterile) are present. Any other
combination of nuclear genotype and
mitochondrial gene (including gene F for
fertile) will result in a male fertile plant. Give the
genotypic ratio and the phenotypic ratio or the
percentage of male sterile and male fertile
offspring that will be produced in the following
crosses.
1-2. Aa + S male x aa + F female
3-4. Reciprocal cross of 1-2. (Note that when
we do reciprocal cross, we interchange/swap
the genotypes of the parents (if there is a
nuclear gene involved, you interchange the
nuclear genotype as well).
5-6. Aa+S female x Aa + F male
7-8. Reciprocal cross of 5-6.
