Rice has a diploid genome with `2n=24`. If crossing-over is stopped in a rice plant anf then selfed seeds are collected, will all the offsprings be genetically identical to the parent plant ?

A

yes, because crossing -over is the only source of genetic variation

B

no, because stopping of crossing -over automatically increases rate of point mutation

C

yes, only if the parent plant was a completely inbreed line

D

yes, only if the parent plant was a hybrid between two pure-breed lines

In the garden pea, round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds. An investigator crosses a plant having round seeds with a plant having wrinkled seeds. He counts 400 offspring. How many of the offspring have wrinkled seeds if the plant having round seeds is a heterozygote?

In a cross between a yellow and a green speeded pea plants all F_(1) members are yellow But F_(2) generation riased by crossing two such F_(1) consists of approximately 75% yellow and 25% green seeded pea plants. (i) What will be the offspring be like two F greens are mated? (ii) What will be the genotypic ratio in the population of yellow seeded plants in F_(2) generation ?

Give a genetic explanation for the following cross. When a tall pea plant with rounds seeds was crossed with a dwarf pea with wrinkled seeds then all the individual of F_(1) -populations were tall with round seeds. However selfing among F_(1) -population led to a 9:3: 3:1 Phenotypic ratio.

In Garden Pea, yellow colour of cotyledons is dominant over green and round shape of seed is dominant over wrinkled. When a plant with yellow and round seeds is crossed with a plant having yellow and wrinkled seeds, the progeny showed segregation for all the four characters.
