Question

Mendel found that yellow pea pod color (G) was dominant to green pea pod color (g), and that round seeds (W) were dominant to wrinkled seeds (w). What percentage of each of the phenotypes below are expected from the following cross? ggWW x ggWw

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram represents one of Mendel’s laws or principles of inheritance.

F 1 includes Upper G g and Upper G g. F 2 includes Upper G Upper G, Upper G g, Upper G g, g g. The second F 2 includes Upper G g, Upper G g, Upper G g, and g g.

Which law or principle does the diagram represent?

dominance

independent assortment

segregation

genetics

Answer 2

100% pea plants will be with green pod and with round seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question given, a homozygous pea plant having green pod (gg) and round seeds (WW) is crossed with a pea plant having homozygous green pod (gg) and heterozygous round seeds(Ww). A pea plant homozygous for green pod and round seeds (ggWW) will produce one type of gametes having alleles (gW), whereas, a pea plant homozygous for green pod and heterozygous for round seeds(ggWw) will produces two type of gametes having alleles gW and gw. On crossing, phenotypically, they will produce all pea plants with green pod and round seeds. But genotypically, 50% of green pod pea plants with homozygous round seeds and 50% of green pod pea plants with heterozygous round seeds.
