Question

Can someone help me out with this? In pea plants, the allele for green seeds (G) is dominant over the allele for yellow seeds (g). • Parent 1: homo-zygous for green seeds • Parent 2: homo-zygous for yellow seeds. • What are the gametes each parent plant will produce? Parent 1: Parent 2:

Answer 1

Answer:

Parent 1: G gametes

Parent 2: g gametes

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for seed color in pea plants. The allele for green seeds (G) is dominant over the allele for yellow seeds (g). This means that a plant that is heterozygous (Gg) will possess green seeds.

If two parents are about to cross in such a way that Parent 1 is homo-zygous for green seeds i.e. GG, while Parent 2 is homo-zygous for yellow seeds i.e. gg.

- Parent 1 (GG) will produce only "G" gametes

- Parent 2 (gg) will produce only "g" gametes
