Question

In pole beans, green pods (G) are a dominate trait, while yellow pods(g) are a recessive trait. A bean plant with a GG genotype is crossed with a second plant that has a gg genotype. If the cross produces 500 spring, approximately how many of the offspring will have green pods?

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all 500 of the offspring will have the dominant (G) allele, so all 500 will be green.

Answer 2

All 500 of the offspring should have green pods. G is dominant trait.

G Gg | Gg

G Gg | Gg
----------------

The punnet square shows that all of the offspring are hererozygus. The dominant trait which is green will be shown over the recessive trait which is yellow.

100% of the offspring should have green pods.

Genotype
100% heterozygus (different) Gg

Phenotype
100% green
