Question

in a group of cucumber plants, some individuals have dull fruit and others have glossy fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit sheen trait has two alleles. the allele for glossy fruit (f) is recessive to the allele for dull fruit (f). the punnett square below shows a cross between two cucumber plants. consider the genotypes of the offspring shown. select all the boxes that represent offspring with a homozygous genotype.

Explanation:

A homozygous genotype has two identical alleles. In the Punnett square, the genotypes \(FF\) have two identical dominant alleles, while \(Ff\) has one dominant and one recessive allele (heterozygous).

Answer:

The boxes with the genotype \(FF\) (the top - left and bottom - left boxes).
