Question 55

A pea plant with genotype Bb is crossed with a plant with genotype bb. What do the four boxes contain?

  1. One BB, two Bb and one bb
  2. Four boxes of Bb
  3. Two Bb and two bbCorrect answer
  4. Two boxes BB and two boxes bb

Explanation

One parent puts b into every gamete, so no box can receive two dominant alleles, while the other parent sends B half the time and b half the time. That leaves two boxes with a mixed pair and two with a recessive pair, which is why a genotype of two dominant alleles cannot appear in this cross.
