Two double heterozygous plants (PpQq), derived from two different pairs of true-breeding parents of unknown genotype, produce gametes in the proportions as given below.
Which one of the following options correctly represents the genotype of the parents?

• Correct answer
  A

  $\mathrm{R} 1=\mathrm{ppQQ} ; \mathrm{R} 2=\mathrm{PPqq} ; \mathrm{R} 3=\mathrm{PPQQ} ; \mathrm{R} 4=\mathrm{ppqq}$
• B

  $\mathrm{R} 1=\mathrm{PPQQ} ; \mathrm{R} 2=\mathrm{ppqq} ; \mathrm{R} 3=\mathrm{ppQQ} ; \mathrm{R} 4=\mathrm{PPqq}$
• C

  $\mathrm{R} 1=\mathrm{ppQQ} ; \mathrm{R} 2=\mathrm{PPqq} ; \mathrm{R} 3=\mathrm{PPqq} ; \mathrm{R} 4=\mathrm{ppQQ}$
• D

  $\mathrm{R} 1=\mathrm{PPQQ} ; \mathrm{R} 2=\mathrm{ppqq} ; \mathrm{R} 3=\mathrm{ppqq} ; \mathrm{R} 4=\mathrm{PPQQ}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
