Question

Mrs. Franklin's science class is conducting an experiment with corn plants. The students planted 100 corn kernels. Green plants sprouted from 78 of the kernels. The other 22 kernels grew into white plants, which contained no chlorophyll. What inference can be made about the genotype of the corn? A White color is dominant over green. B Green color and white color are equally recessive. C White color and green color are equally dominant. D Green color is dominant over white.

Answer 1

Answer:

D- Green color is dominant over white

Explanation:

For a heterozygous cross, the dominant one will show around 75% of the time where the recessive will show around 25% and 78 and 22 and very close to those numbers!

Hope this helps!
