Question

One character in peas that Mendel studied was yellow versus green seeds.

A cross between a homozygous yellow line (YY) and a homozygous green line (yy) will result in F1 plants that are heterozygous (Yy) for this trait and produce yellow seeds.
When an F1 plant undergoes meiosis, what gamete types will it produce, and in what proportions?
Use your understanding of Mendel's law (or principle) of segregation to label each gamete possibility as "correct" or "incorrect.a. incorrect
b. correct
c. incorrect
d. incorrect
e. incorrect
f. incorrect

Answer 1

1/2 will be Y

1/2 will be y

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of meiosis haploid gametes are formed which means one gamete contains half the information from the parent cell (one set of 23 chromosomes). Because of Mendel's law (or principle) of segregation, if the parent has genotype heterozygous (Yy), it will be divided in two gametes in the following way:

Yy will be broken in to Y + y.

One gamete will be Y the other gamete will be y
