Question

Heterozygous tall and violet flowered pea plants were selfed and total 512 seeds are collected . What will be total number of seeds for both heterozygous traits?

• A. $288$
• B. $256$
• C. $384$
• D. $64$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $288$

The genotype of offspring produced after selfing of heterozygous tall and violet plants is 9:3:3:1. Where 9 represent the ratio of offspring with both heterozygous genotype for traits.

So, (9/16)× 512 = 288 seeds have both heterozygous traits.
