Q1

In corn, smooth kernels (K) are completely dominant to wrinkled kernels (k). A plant with smooth kernels is self-fertilized, and the offspring show a 3 smooth : 1 wrinkled phenotype ratio. Assume one autosomal gene with complete dominance and no linkage to other genes. Which genotype must the parent plant have had?

Which parental genotype is required to produce a $3:1$ smooth-to-wrinkled ratio by self-crossing?
