Question 54

Two pea plants, both with genotype Bb, are crossed. Which set of genotypes fills the four boxes?

  1. Three boxes only: BB, Bb and bb
  2. BB, Bb, Bb and bbCorrect answer
  3. Two boxes BB and two boxes bb
  4. All four boxes Bb

Explanation

Each parent can send B or b, so the four pairings are B with B, B with b, b with B and b with b, and the mixed pair therefore fills two of the boxes. Listing only three genotypes drops one of those two identical boxes, although the square has four boxes because there are four gamete pairings.
