In a typical monohybrid, a cross with respect to a certain trait, 120 plants are obtained in the generation. What will be the approximate number of homozygous and heterozygous plants respectively?
Options
- A40 and 80.
- B60 and 60.
- C20 and 100.
- D10 and 110.
Correct answer
B. 60 and 60.
Step-by-step solution
In a typical monohybrid cross, the generation genotypic ratio is for homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive respectively.
The proportion of homozygous plants (both dominant and recessive) is .
The proportion of heterozygous plants is .
Given the total number of plants in the generation is .
Number of homozygous plants = .
Number of heterozygous plants = .
Answer: 60 and 60.
The proportion of homozygous plants (both dominant and recessive) is .
The proportion of heterozygous plants is .
Given the total number of plants in the generation is .
Number of homozygous plants = .
Number of heterozygous plants = .
Answer: 60 and 60.
