Question

In a particular plant, the allele for producing green pods is dominant and the allele for producing yellow pods is recessive. A plant that is heterozygous for pod color is crossed with a plant that is recessive for podcolor. Which of the following is the most likely outcome of this cross?F.100 green podsG.75 green pods; 25% Yellow pods.H.50 green pods; 50% yellow podsJ.25 green pode 75 yellow pods

Answer 1

In this case, we have two alleles, green (G) and yellow (g).

The first parent plant is Gg and the second is gg.

If we make a Punnett square it would be as follows:

This would mean that half of the offspring would be Gg, with green pods, and the other half would be gg, with yellow pods
