Question 63

A pea plant carrying two B alleles is crossed with a pea plant carrying two b alleles, where B is dominant to b. How many of the offspring are expected to show the dominant characteristic?

  1. About three quarters of them, because one parent carries the recessive allele
  2. Half of them
  3. All of themBonne réponse
  4. None at all

Explication

Every gamete from the first plant carries B and every gamete from the second carries b, so each offspring receives one of each and the dominant allele decides its appearance. A three quarters figure belongs to a cross where both parents can hand on the recessive allele, and here only one of them can.
