What are the possible genotypes of the resultant zygotes from random fertilisation in the F1 generation?
Options
- ATT, Tt, tt
- BTT, tt
- CTt only
- DTT only
Correct answer
A. TT, Tt, tt
Step-by-step solution
When fertilisation takes place, the pollen grains of genotype T have a 50 per cent chance to pollinate eggs of the genotype T, as well as of genotype t. Also pollen grains of genotype t have a 50 per cent chance of pollinating eggs of genotype T, as well as of genotype t. As a result of random fertilisation, the resultant zygotes can be of the genotypes TT, Tt or tt.
