In a particular variety of corn, kernel corn is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. the dominant allele results in pur
ple kernels, and the recessive allele results in yellow kernels. a single corncob may contain hundreds of individual kernels, each of which is the result of a separate fertilization event. what would the frequency of yellow kernels be that result from a cross between two heterozygous plants?
The frequency of recessive yellow beans resulting from a cross between two heterozygous plants is 25%.
<h3>What are recessive alleles?</h3>
Recessive alleles differ from dominant alleles in not being able to express themselves in heterozygotes. These alleles are only expressed in the phenotype if they are present in pairs, that is, they must be in homozygosity.
With this information, we can conclude that the frequency of recessive yellow beans resulting from a cross between two heterozygous plants is 25%.
