Question

In garden pea, yellow colour of cotyledon is dominant over green and round shape of seed is dominant over wrinkled. When a plant with yellow and round seed is crossed with a plant having green and wrinkled seeds, the progeny showed segregation for all the four characters. The probability of obtaining green round seeds in the progeny of the cross is

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{16}$
• D. $\frac{3}{16}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{3}{16}$

In a dihybrid cross between the garden pea, when a plant with yellow and round seed is crossed with a plant having green and wrinkled seeds, the progeny showed segregation for all the four characters. The possibility of formation of green round seed is three of sixteen

So, the correct answer is option D.
