9 of 15) Yellow Blue The picture above illustrates that... Othe Yellow (bb) and Blue (BB) genotypes make some cells that have only one copy of the 'b'or 'B' alleles because the plant is running out of gene by the time those cells are made. the Yellow (bb) and Blue (BB) genotypes make gametes that contain the alleles that are most compatible with the genes made by the neighboring plants to maximize the production of offspring made by cross pollination. Othe Yellow (bb) and Blue (BB) genotypes make gametes that have only one gene from the 'B,b' gene pair and these gametes are biologically designed to carry the genes to the next generation of corn offspring. Othe Yellow (bb) plant is able to both cross and self pollinated but the Blue (BB) plant can only cross pollinate.

Explanation / Answer

According to the given picture, the blue plant gametes are cross pollinated, while yellow plant is able to both cross and self-pollinate. This is because in the given picture the blue plant gamete is pollinating with slightly different color pollen, which might be of yellow plant gamete, while yellow plant gamete is fused with same colored gamete.

Hence, the correct option among the following is last statement- the yellow (bb) plant is able to both cross and self-pollinated but the blue (BB) plant can only cross pollinate.
