Question

If 6${}^n$ is the number of genotypes where 'n' is the number of different chromosome pairs with each carrying one heterozygous alleles. What would be the different genotypes produced by garden pea plant?

• A. 6${}^{10}$
• B. 6${}^{12}$
• C. 6${}^{14}$
• D. 6${}^7$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

6${}^7$

Mendel had learned about seven traits in garden pea plants called as Pisum sativum.

Thus different genotypes produced by garden plant = 6${}^n$, n = 7.
