MONOHYBRID CROSS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Wrinkled seed (r) are recessive to smooth seeds. Show a wrinkled seed plant crossed with a heterozygous smooth seed plant. What is the chance that the offspring will be smooth and what will its genotype be?
A
50% RR
B
75% Rr
C
75% RR
D
50% Rr
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the F1 generation, 50% of the offspring produced wrinkled seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a heterozygous round seeded plant is crossed with a recessive wrinkle seeded plant, the round and wrinkled phenotypes will appear in F, in the ratio.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘303 rounded: 301 wrinkled’.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cross between homozygous round seeds plant (RR) and homozygous wrinkled seeds plant (rr) will produce heterozygous (Rr) round seeds plants as F1 generation.
