Question

In a particular plant, white fruit color is dominant over yellow. If two white-fruited individuals with genotypes are unknown are bred, what is the probability of obtaining a yellow-fruited plant from the cross

Answer 1

The probability of obtaining a yellow-fruited plant from the cross is ¼ or 25%.

WHAT IS A HETEROZYGOUS CROSS

A heterozygous cross is a cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for two genes.

According to this question, white (W) fruit color is dominant over yellow (w). If two white-fruited individuals with genotypes that are unknown are crossed i.e. Ww × Ww.

The offsprings of this cross are as follows:

• WW
• Ww
• Ww
• ww

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a yellow-fruited plant from the cross is ¼ or 25%.
