Question

In watermelons, solid green rind color (G) is dominant to stripes (g). A farmer crosses two watermelon plants that are heterozygous for rind color. What are the odds that the offspring will have solid green rinds?

Answer 1

Answer:

75% dude

Explanation:

Watermelon solid green color

G

Dominant to strips

g

when G and g are crossed

• It produces Gg in the first progeny
• When it is self bred, We get GG, Gg, gG, gg.
• By this we get 75% of the dominance is expressed.
• Hence, 75% is expressed

Answer 2

The correct answer is 75 %

Explanation:

• As solid green rind color(G) is dominant to stripe (g) than even one single allele of green rind color in the offspring will produce watermelon offsprings with solid green rinds.
• As the two watermelon plants are heterozygous for rind color, therefore, they must have genotype Gg. So when they are crossed they will produce offsprings with genotype Gg, Gg, Gg, and gg.

                        G     g

                G   Gg   Gg

                g     Gg   gg

• So out of 4 offsprings, 3 will have solid green rings, therefore, the correct answer is 75%.
