Question

When Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants that have inflated pods (PP) with those that have constricted pods (pp), it was observed that F1 offspring had a genotype of Pp. What would their phenotype be?. A) All offspring would have inflated pods, and none would have constricted pods. B) All offspring would have constricted pods, and none would have inflated pods. C) Some offspring would have inflated pods, and some would have constricted pods. @agent0smith

Answer 1

The phenotype of all offspring would have inflated pods, and none would have constricted pods. The correct answer between all the choices given is the first choice or letter A. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about this specific question.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The phenotype of the F1 generation exhibit all inflated pods since allele P which characterizes inflated pods is the dominant trait. They only carry the allele p which characterizes constricted pods but they will not exhibit the trait. This recessive trait is masked by the presence of the dominant trait.
