The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.

juin [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Dd Pp.

Thus, the cross between these would be -

DD PP x ddpp

And gametes would be - DP,DP, dp, and dp.

So, all the 16 offspring would have Phenotype would be heterozygous tall and smooth and DdPp genotype .

Thus, the correct answer would be - Dd Pp.
