Question 2 (1 point)
Using the following information, determine the parental genotype for the parent:
Purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p)
Green pods (G) are dominant to yellow pods (g)
One parent plant is heterozygous for flower color and homozygous recessive for pod
color. What is the parent's genotype?
O Pg
OpG
O Ppgg
O PgGG

Answer :

vschluter28

Answer:

C. Ppgg

Explanation:

heterozygous for flower color would mean the plant carries both P and p

homozygous for pod color means it would only carry G or g but not both; however, it says that it is homozygous recessive. This tells us that it will be carrying only the non-dominant gene, which in this case is g.

The parent's genotype is related to Ppgg by determining the parental genotype for the parent according to the question.

Parental generation

In the question, one flower is heterozygous for flower colour and homo zygous recessive for pod colour.

Having heterozygous for flower colour mean the plant maintains both P and p.

Homo zygous for pod colour suggests it would only carry single g or G, not both.

It further says that it is homo zygous recessive, which denotes having only the non-dominant gene that is g.

Thus option C is the correct answer.
