Question

A plant with green pods and smooth seeds with genotype Ggss will give rise to the following gamates :
(a) Gg and Ss
(b) Gs and Ss
(c) Gs and gs
(d) Gg and gs

Answer 1

ANSWER :

OPTION C ( Gs and gs )

EXPLANATION :

↪ The genotype of the given pod is Ggss .

↪ The Law of Independent Assortment states that when there are two pairs of characters , the distribution of alleles of any one of the character is not dependent on the distribution of the alleles of other characters .

↪ The pod will break up either to give Gs or gs .

↪ The chance for G or g is 50 % while there is 100% chance that the gametes will contain s .

↪ G stands for the dominant trait of green colour of the pod .

↪ g stands for the recessive trait of green colour of the pod .

↪ S stands for the dominant trait of smooth pod .

↪ s stands for the recessive trait of smooth pod .
