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 F2F_2 generation?

Options

  1. AOne
  2. BThree
  3. CFour
  4. DNine

Correct answer

A. One

Step-by-step solution

In pea plants, tallness (T)isdominantovershortness(t) is dominant over shortness (t), and green pod colour (G)isdominantoveryellowpodcolour(g) is dominant over yellow pod colour (g).

The cross is between a pure tall plant with yellow pods (TTgg)andapureshortplantwithgreenpods(ttGG) and a pure short plant with green pods (ttGG).

The F1F_1 generation will have the genotype TtGgTtGg, which corresponds to tall plants with green pods.
