Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Green (G) is dominant to brown (g). The genotype gg codes for which phenotype?
A
Green
B
Brown
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To determine the phenotypic ratio (the number of each different possible phenotype) simply look at each genotype and determine what phenotype would result from it. For example, the genotype GG would result in a yellow seed color. The genotype Gg would also result in a yellow seed color.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The cross between a green pea plant (Gg) and a yellow pea plant (gg) is shown below: From the cross, we can see that the possible genotypes are green and yellow. 50% of the offspring will have a Gg phenotype and 50% will have gg phenotype.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two alleles of any gene are segregated during the formation of gametes. Thus the green-pod parent (Gg) will produce two kinds of gametes-G and g. The yellow-pod parent (gg) will produce g gametes. As you can see, 1/2 of the offspring are genotype Gg and 1/2 are gg.

Detailed explanation-4: -AI Recommended Answer: In the first step, we need to find the genotypes of the parents. For the father, we have GG and Gg, so his genotype is GG. For the mother, we have Gg and GG, so her genotype is Gg.
