Question

a plant heterozygous for yellow seeds is crossed with a plant homozygous for green seeds. use the punnett square to predict the genotype of the offspring. 1 2 yy 3 yy 4 yy done

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Parent Genotypes

Heterozygous yellow: \( Yy \) (gametes: \( Y, y \)). Homozygous green: \( yy \) (gametes: \( y, y \)).

Step2: Analyze Punnett Square Cells

• Cell 1: \( Y \) (top) × \( y \) (side) = \( Yy \)
• Cell 2: \( y \) (top) × \( y \) (side) = \( yy \)
• Cell 3: \( Y \) (top) × \( y \) (side) = \( Yy \)
• Cell 4: \( y \) (top) × \( y \) (side) = \( yy \)

For the dropdown (assuming it's Cell 1 or 3), the genotype is \( Yy \).

Answer:

1. Yy
