What is the probability that an F2 offspring will be tall with green pods? What is the probability that an F2 offspring will be short with yellow pods?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1) 9/16

2) 1/16

Explanation:

The probability of an offspring in F2 generation that exhibits dominant traits for both characteristics (green pod and tall pod shape) is 9/16.

The probability of one dominant and one recessive trait (either greed pod color and short OR yellow pod and tall) is 3/16.

The probability of recessive traits for both characteristics showing in the phenotype (yellow color and short) is 1/16. This gives as a 9:3:3:1 ratio for the phenotypes (phenotypic ratio).

The correct answer is -

1) 9/16

2) 1/16
