In pea plants, round seeds are dominant and wrinkled seeds are recessive. A pea plant with round seeds was pollinated with a pea

plant with wrinkled seeds. The offspring produced round seeds. One of the offspring was mated with a pea plant with heterozygous genes for round seeds. What are the chances that the offspring will have wrinkled seeds?

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dominant allele for round seeds is represented by letter "R" and the recessive allele for wrinkled seeds is denoted by letter "r".

A pea plant with round seeds (RR) was mated with wrinkled seeded pea plant (rr). All the progeny would be round seeded (Rr). The one of the progeny was mated with a heterozygous round pea plant (Rr). A cross between Rr x Rr gives progeny in 3 rounded seeded: 1 wrinkled seeded ratio.

There is a 25% chance to have an offspring with wrinkled seeds.
