In a cross between a pure tall pea plant with yellow pod and a pure short plant with green pod, how many double recessive plants would you expect in generation?
Options
- AOne
- BThree
- CFour
- DNine
Correct answer
A. One
Step-by-step solution
In pea plants, tallness (T), and green pod colour (G).
The cross is between a pure tall plant with yellow pods (TTgg).
The generation will have the genotype , which corresponds to tall plants with green pods.
Upon selfing the generation (TtGg \times TtGgF_2F_2, which represents:
Tall, Green pods
Tall, Yellow pods
Short, Green pods
Short, Yellow pod
The double recessive phenotype is the short plant with yellow pods (ttgg possible combinations in the generation, only plant is double recessive.
Answer: One
