Question

A farmer is trying to create a new hybrid of corn by crossing a plant that contains the genotype Kk with one that contains Kl. The farmer then enters the alleles into the Punnett square below.How many possible allele combinations can be created using the kernel alleles?A) Two B) FourC) OneD) Three

Answer 1

The farmer wants to cross a plant with genotype Kk and another with Kl genotype. This means that the Punnett square would be as follows.

And we would have 4 different genotypes: KK, Kk, Kl, and kl.

So, B) Four would be the right answer.
