If a spinach plant with flat (FF) green (GG) leaves is crossed (pollination and fertilization occur) with another spinach plant
1 answer:
Answer:
The offsprings of this cross will inherit the flat (F) and green (G) alleles from the first parent and also the crinkly (f) and purple (g) alleles from the second parent. However, the offsprings will only inherit the flat, green traits.
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for leaf shape and leaf color respectively. The alleles for flat (F) and green (G) leaves are dominant over the alleles for crinkly (f) and purple (g) leaves.
According to this question, If a spinach plant with flat (FF) green (GG) leaves is crossed with another spinach plant with crinkly (ff) purple (gg) leaves, all the offsprings in the F1 generation will possess a FfGg heterozygous genotype.
This genotype means that the F1 offsprings of this cross will inherit the flat (F) and green (G) alleles from the first parent and also the crinkly (f) and purple (g) alleles from the second parent. However, they will only inherit the flat, green traits because they are dominant over the crinkly and purple trait.
