Question

Look at the Punnett square, which shows the predicted offspring of the F2 generation from a cross between a plant with yellow-round seeds (YYRR) and a plant with green-wrinkled seeds (yyrr). Select the correct statement about wrinkled yellow seeds in the F2 generation.

A. In a set of 16 individuals from the F2 generation, 3 will produce wrinkled yellow seeds.
B. Wrinkled and yellow traits are linked in peas.
C. The chance that an individual taken at random from the F2 generation produces wrinkled seeds is 25% and the chance that the same individual produces yellow seeds is 75%.

Answer 1

C. The chance that an individual taken at random from the F2 generation produces wrinkled seeds is 25% and the chance that the same individual produces yellow seeds is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

F0: the cross from the parents

YYRR x yyrr

Will produce 100% of YyRr

F1: You took two F1 as a parent and cross them to create F2

F2: YyRr x YyRr

And the offspring probabilities are

YYRR YyRr yYrR yyrr

25% YYRR yellow-round

50% YyRr yellow-round

25% yyrr green-wrinkled
