A green pea plant (Gg) is crossed with a yellow pea plant (gg). What is the probability that the offspring will be heterozygous?
A.25%
B.50%
C.75%
D.100%

Respuesta :

Answer:

50 percent

Explanation:

G g

g Gg gg

g Gg gg

since one of the plants are already heterozygous, only half will be heterozygous since the other plant is homzygous

There is 50% probability that the offspring will be heterozygous.

What is heterozygous?

At a given gene locus, the existence of two different  alleles. One normal allele and one mutant allele, or two separate mutated alleles, can make up a heterozygous genotype (compound heterozygote).

what is allele?

An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.

so, if green pea plant (Gg) is crossed with a yellow pea plant (gg), there will be 50% probability that the offspring will be heterozygous, we can find it by making punnett square so here is the solution

Hence, the correct option is B i.e. 50%
