In polygenic stems, the number of phenotypic classes corresponding to the number of polygene doses after selfing the plant is calculated as the number of alleles. The number of alleles is represented by. The number of phenotypic classes is.
When,
The Number of phenotypes =
When strains containing “four heterozygous polygenes are selfed,” then the number of alleles would be.
Hence, the phenotypic classes would be:
When strains containing “six heterozygous polygenes are selfed,” then the number of alleles would be.
Hence, the phenotypic classes would be:
