D3.2.4—Phenotype question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

In a strain of soybeans, high oil content (H) in seeds is dominant to low oil content (h) and four seeds in a pod (F) is dominant to two seeds in a pod (f). A farmer crosses two soybean plants, both with high oil content and four seeds in a pod. The offspring have a phenotypic ratio of 9: 3: 3: 1.
