In cucumbers, dull fruit (D) is dominant over glossy fruit (d), orange fruit (R) is dominant over cream fruit (r), and bitter cotyledons (B) are dominant over non-bitter cotyledons (b). The three characters are encoded by genes located on different pairs of chromosomes. A plant homozygous for dull, orange fruit and bitter cotyledons is crossed with a plant that has glossy, cream fruit and non-bitter cotyledons. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.a. Give the phenotypes and their expected proportions in the F2.b. An F1 plant is crossed with a plant that has glossy, cream fruit and non bitter cotyledons. Give the phenotypes and expected proportions among the progeny of this cross.
