Solution
The correct option is A 1000
The starch synthesis in pea plants is controlled by a single gene which has two alleles B and b.
BB (homozygote) seeds were round whereas, bb was wrinkled.
The ratio obtained is 1 (long grain): 2 (intermediate grain): 1 (small grain), therefore, out of 2000 progenies obtained 1000 progenies have intermediate size starch grain.
