Question

Heterogeneous tall and violet flowered pea plants were selfed and total 512 seeds were collected. what will be the total number of seeds for both heterogeneous traits

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the heterogeneous tall flowered pea plants be represented as Tt

And let the allele for heterogeneous violet flowered pea plants be represented as Pp

So, The genytope of the plant will be TtPp

When the parents are crossed (TtPp × TtPp) , 25% heterogeneous progenies are produced.

Total number of seeds for both heteregeneous traits are :

25% of 512

25/100 × 512  = 128

Hence,

The total number of seeds having both heteregeneous are 128
