Question

Two sets of plants were grown in two containers. The first container has plants with the genotype ANL/ANL, ygr/ygr. The second container has plants with the genotype anl/anl, YGR/YGR. If the plants in the left container are pollinated by the plants in the right container, what will be the phenotype of the offspring plants?Fast Plants 1 AQ4 A. Purple stem, green leaves B. Purple stem, yellow leaves C. Green stem, green leaves D. Green stem, yellow leaves

Answer 1

When plants with genotypes ANL/ANL, ygr/ygr are cross-pollinated by plants with the genotype anl/anl, YGR/YGR, the resulting offspring will have green stems with green leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first container has plants with the genotype ANL/ANL, ygr/ygr and the second container has plants with the genotype anl/anl, YGR/YGR, and they are cross-pollinated, the offspring will have the genotype ANL/anl, YGR/ygr.

Assuming that ANL is the allele for green stems and anl is for purple stems, and YGR is the allele for green leaves while ygr is for yellow leaves, and the respective dominant and recessive relationships are similar to those in Mendel's pea plants, the phenotype of the offspring would be a green stem with green leaves.
