Question

$27$ genotypes in a hybrid selfing will produce how many phenotypes?

• A. $8$
• B. $16$
• C. $32$
• D. $64$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

Number of genotypes$=3^n$

$27=3^n$

$3^3=3^n$

So, $n=3$

Now, no. of phenotypes$=2^n$

So, $2^3=8$

So, $8$ types of phenotypes will be produced in a hybrid selfing. So, option (A) is the correct answer.
