Question
If a round, green seeded pea plant (RR yy) is crossed with wrinkled, yellow seeded pea plant, (rr YY) the seeds produced in F1 generation are
Options
round and yellow
round and green
wrinkled and green
wrinkled and yellow
Solution
round and yellow
Explanation -
From the cross between a round, green seeded pea plant (RR yy) and wrinkled, yellow seeded pea plant, (rr YY),
| Parents |
RRyy Round and Green |
x |
rr YY Wrinkled and yellow |
| Gametes | Ry | rY | |
| F1 generation |
RrYy Round and yellow seed |
F1 generation plants will produce round and yellow seeds.
