Question

a plant contains the alleles gg for green pod color. it is crossed with a plant that has the alleles gg for yellow pod color. the offspring have green pods. what is the allele combination? gg gg gg

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Parental Alleles

Parent 1: \( Gg \) (can give \( G \) or \( g \)). Parent 2: \( gg \) (can only give \( g \)).

Step2: Determine Offspring Combinations

Possible crosses: \( G \) (from Parent 1) + \( g \) (from Parent 2) = \( Gg \); \( g \) (from Parent 1) + \( g \) (from Parent 2) = \( gg \). But offspring has green pods. Green is dominant (since \( Gg \) is green), so \( Gg \) shows green, \( gg \) shows yellow. Thus, the allele combination for green - pod offspring is \( Gg \).

Answer:

The allele combination is \( Gg \) (corresponding to the option "Gg" in the dropdown).
