In tomatoes, red fruit is dominant to yellow fruit, and purple stems are dominant to green stems. The progeny from one mating consisted of 305 red fruit, purple stem plants; 328 red fruit, green stem plants; 110 yellow fruit, purple stem plants; and 97 yellow fruit, green stem plants. a. Determine the genotypes of the parents in this cross. b. If a red fruit, purple stem true-breeding stock was crossed with a yellow fruit, green stem true-breeding stock, what would the phenotype of the progeny be?
