The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the genetic contribution of both plants involved in the pollination process and understand how fruit development occurs in flowering plants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genotypes**: - The female plant has the genotype **BBCC**. - The male plant has the genotype **AADD**. 2. **Understand Pollination**: - Pollination involves the transfer of pollen (male gametes) from the male plant to the female plant. In this case, the pollen from the male plant (AADD) is transferred to the female plant (BBCC). 3. **Fertilization Process**: - After pollination, fertilization occurs when the male gametes (from AADD) fuse with the female gametes (from BBCC). This results in the formation of zygotes. 4. **Fruit Development**: - The fruit develops from the ovary of the female plant. The ovary contains ovules, which are fertilized by the male gametes. However, the fruit itself is derived entirely from the female plant. 5. **Genotype of the Fruit**: - Since the fruit develops from the ovary of the female plant, its genotype will be the same as that of the female plant. Therefore, the genotype of the fruit will be **BBCC**. 6. **Conclusion**: - The fruit obtained from the pollination of plant BBCC by pollen from plant AADD will have the genotype **BBCC**. ### Final Answer: The fruit thus obtained will have the genotype **BBCC**.
