Question

3. A certain species of pepper plant can produce either green or red peppers. A dominant allele G causes production of green peppers. gg plants have red peppers. A dominant allele P is also required for pepper production. pp plants do not produce peppers. Answer the following questions about these plants (4 pts). A. What is the phenotype of a PpGg plant? (1pt)

B. What will be the phenotypic ratios of the offspring from a PpGg X PpGg (double heterozygous) cross? (2 pts)

C. What type of genetic condition does this represent? (1 pt)

Explanation / Answer

1st question : Plant producing green peppers

2nd question: Out of total 16 genotypes possible

4 plants dont produce peppers (ppgg , ppGg, ppGg, ppGG)

9 plants produce green peppers ( P_G_ genotype)

3 plants produce red peppers ( P_gg genotype)

3rd question : The genetic basis of this is

Law of independent segregation
