Question

the table below summarizes mendels results for the f₂ generation. mendels results plant height 787 tall 277 short flower color 705 purple 224 white pod color 428 green 152 yellow pod shape 882 inflated 299 constricted seed color 6022 yellow x green seed shape 5474 smooth 1850 wrinkled what number should replace the letter x in the \seed color\ row? 19008 2011 207 2001

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Mendelian ratio concept

In Mendelian genetics for a single - trait cross in the F2 generation, the ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes is approximately 3:1.

Step2: Identify dominant and recessive for seed color

For seed color, yellow is dominant and green is recessive.

Step3: Calculate green seed number

We know the number of yellow seeds is 6022. If the ratio of yellow to green is 3:1, then the number of green seeds $x=\frac{6022}{3}\approx2007$.

Answer:
