Question

In a particular plant, leaf color is controlled by gene D. Plants with at least one D allele have dark green leaves and plants with the homozygous recessive dd genotype have light green leaves. A Dd plant is crossed with another Dd plant. The predicted offspring are represented by numbers in the Punnett square. Which box(es) correspond(s) to plants with a heterozygous genotype

Answer 1

Boxes 2 and 3 will correspond to plants with a heterozygous genotype

An organism with one dominant allele and one recessive allele is said to have a heterozygous genotype.

What is Heterozygous genotype ?

The presence of two different alleles at a particular gene locus. A heterozygous genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote)

• In our example, this genotype is written Bb. Finally, the genotype of an organism with two recessive alleles is called homozygous recessive.

• Heterozygotes can get genetic disease, but it depends on the type of disease.
